Carlo Biado sick a$$ shot

FWIW, I played Carlo Biado a couple of games of 1P, just for fun.....while we were at the Southern Classic in Tunica a few weeks ago.

I had heard of him, but had never watched him play. Needless to say, I'm glad we weren't in an action match. It was nice of him to share the table with me, not evening having to put any money on the line. Just playing for the love of the game.

He was VERY respectful and soft-spoken. He ended up signing my case a few days later. Seemed like a very classy guy.

He's a monster player for sure.

Yes, he uses the same one we're familiar with. We use a sword to feel the motion, it's extremely accurate with increased acceleration. The key to the technique is in the hand/wrist/forearm position, the position will allow the player to get the shot out in front of their body better....and the visual is ideal imho.

My hand/forearm positon was out of line recently and I've been doing a lot of research and development to pin point what the essential factors are.This, of course, is for my own game, but it's also to teach other players who want to play this way. I've learned how it all comes together, and it was with the help of Hunter Lombardo and Corey D. - Hunter understands and can explain this technique, his teaching abilities are a few levels above "the norm". Hunter also plays pretty well. ;)

That's a 3 cushion style shot, wonder if he played any? Not too difficult depending on the position of the balls, especially on a 3C table, but I doubt I would try that in an actual tournament-level game on a pool table... Would love to see it...

And yes, Hunter is the bomb!!!

One might try it if he was eight games up needing only two more wins...a treat for the adoring fans.
 
It was in the 5th rack. I think the score was 4-1, not 100% sure though.

So the question I have is...

What was the score when he made this shot? Most times you see a great, aggressive shot is when the person has a substantial lead, or on a hill/hill game where no other options are available.

My guess he was up at least 8-1 and rolling. Not downplaying the shot at all, it's just my experience on when you see great shots in pool.

Or of course being down a crazy amount and just free stroking because you know you're out.

If you are referring to that badatious draw shot - "Any questions?" - I think it was Mika.

Corey also pulled off a stupidly ridiculous, frozen to the rail, jacked up masse draw shot against Nick Van Den Berg, I think in a Mosconi Cup match 10 or so years ago. Can't find a clip.
