Just curious what shot in pool do you appreciate and enjoy seeing the most? Which one makes you go WOW! It's probably the same one that you feel the best inside when you execute it perfectly yourself.

Mine has to be a reverse or inside english shot or the stun/drag kill shot. I love to watch a solid hit on a cut shot and watch the cueball dig into the rail with tons of reverse/inside on it and freak out someone that thinks the cueball is going to go in the other direction. Or that long stun drag shot to cut in a ball and hold it down there. Maybe you would like to include a WEI example of your favorites too:smile:

You can choose multiple selections or describe your own

Examples to give you a idea what I'm talking about, not to provoke alternative shots:cool:

I would have said a power/force draw shot where the ball does a tight hook before picking up momentum. It's much more interesting to see than a straight draw.
 
3 or 4 rails with running inside.....a shot I struggled with BEFORE I switched to a Predator/OB shaft. Now I look for it :grin:

one foot dead straight if i am shooting.
But if someone else is shooting on another table i like a 8 footer dead straight and draw all the way back. Might be the hardest shot in pool.
 
I like to see a player, when faced with a tricky situation, come up with, and execute, a shot that leaves the spectators saying, "wow, I didn't even see that shot". It doesn't necessarily have to be something spectacular that brings the house down either. Often times it could be a very simple shot. I guess I "appreciate" that type of shot most.

As far as entertainment value, one where they really have to juice it up and still execute it perfectly. That's probably part of what makes Efren so entertaining to watch.
 
I love watching Little Joes DVD's and taking kicking lessons from him. Being able to hit a ball in the middle of the table and doing in after going 3 rails is just a great feeling.

Makes me stand up TALL and think..... SSSHHHHEEEEEEEittt.

Kicking it iinto the pocket is the triple candy coated nuts. And by god I can do it using what he's shown me.
 
I have a different thought.

I saw quite a few high quality game in personal.

Yang v.s Hisa race to 7, Yang 6:0 up but Hsia Win 7:6. 2002 TW Pro-Tour.

Cheng v.s Kuo race 11, Cheng Win 11:0. 2006 TW Pro-Tour
 
I cant think of a specific shot. I like to see the pattern run correctly. Thats why i have a hard time watching the girls play sometimes
 
A like watching a ball being fired in that was hiding in the pack playing one pocket or straight pool. Watching the surronding balls moving out of the way as it works its way to the pocket.
 
any Efren kill shot, thats my favorite. I might hit one a month if i'm lucky. its my favorite to shoot too. When the CB goes into the rail 100mph and dies.

thats my road shot, jacked up out of the jaws I cant draw it,,,,,,yet-ask me in 5 more years

I told Artie about it once and he wanted to "Invest a little" on the dont, I did(with his cue) and he smiled. We didnt bet, were good friends.


then Larry Schwartz shows up with Atrie one nite, I told Larry how good I am at that shot then missed it about 10 times in a row. I said "It just isnt my day". Artie Said "he is telling the truth". Next nite Larry is here again, So I had to show him-and I did. I blasted it in lots of times probably 75% of the time I made it. The pressure is on when you have ledgendary guys sweating you.

another time Kim Davenport and I were taking turns with it(at the M-Cup), I hadnt seen Kim in 15 years. We were trading punches to see who would miss first. He beat me-of course, but I made him work for it, he didnt rob me. What I did like is he "Man you play alot better than you did before". I didnt miss many of them-it was on a GC5 with big pockets. We were using Cory Duels cue(I didnt know that at the time-kim did and said it was cool), I awalys admired Kim and knew him but for him to pay me that complement unsolicated was huge for me. Stupid as it sounds I knew then I was all growed up.
