Is it Possible to CUT AN OBJECT BALL MORE THAN 90°?

Wow, I’ve known about the rail version of this shot, and about spin induced throw, for many years, but I must say I had no idea it was possible to cut a ball in at 90 degrees from out in the open like that. Nice video, thanks.
Btw, I’m new here but I’ve been subscribed to your YouTube channel for a few years, and I’m familiar with some of your other instructional material as well. Always fantastic stuff. Thank you sir, for all your contributions.

Alvarado goes undefeated to claim his first regional tour win on Sullivan Open Pool Tour

They’ve been trying to do it in a dizzying array of formats; specific, ranking-defined tournaments (‘500 and under,’ for example), split brackets (for High and Low rankings with a mix at the end), using staggered fees (for different rankings) and more than likely, formats we haven’t even heard of. Yet. All designed to attract more competitors, more ‘fannies to the tables’ and the rooms that run the events. The new-this-year, Jersey-based Sullivan Open Tour, with Hunter Sullivan at the helm, is trying to combine a lot of this into a tour that caters, on an event-by-event basis, to both higher […]

Masse Cue

If you want a cue like the artistic players use ...

Total length about 50 inches.

Tip diameter 14mm (or larger if you can find tips)

Tough ferrule.

Typical masse cues are heavier, which would require added weight if you want to get there with just a shaft add-on. That's good because for vertical shots, you want the balance point well below your grip hand.

Along the way, I got three masse shafts for my main player.

I assume you have your own table. ;) If you want to practice masse shots, here are some from Artistic Billiards: http://www.sfbilliards.com/Misc/ArtisticBilliards1987.pdf
Now this is a first class reply. Thanks so much for all you do for the pool world, Mr Jewett.

Jakub Jokub- what do we think?

never hurts to ask your opponent what he agrees to at the least. he still may call fouls on you to win. thats what you deal with when you dont follow exactly the rules in a tournament.
you take your chances and results.

if no ref is there it is on you to follow the rules and him to enforce them.

and both of you may have different standards on following those rules.
