The Art of Sharking

[the chicken]

I know that anytime I say something during a match I could be accused of sharking. Okay, okay, I know a friendly discussion about a foul should proceed actually taking ball-in-hand. But there are certain times when some verbal jabs are too good to pass up.

My all time favorite happens when playing eight ball and my opponent breaks, resulting in a slug rack. You know, two or three balls dribble out of a mostly undisturbed rack leaving no good shot. My opponent stares at the cluster of balls, trying to figure out how best to play a safe when I say, "A real man would shoot at the rack and bust them up!"

It doesn't matter what sexual orientation my opponent is or what is available by way of the best shot under the circumstances. All I'm interested in doing is projecting a little levity onto what I hope proceeds my brilliant run out.

Shoot safe, my friends!

Does it matter if your opponent is John J. Rambo? I dare you to pull that stunt with him.

I play someone regularly in races to 7 ... nine ball. Almost without fail if I'm coming to the table and where I would set up is a piece of chalk he grabs it to chalk his cue when he is going to the bench. :angry::angry: I have even told him hey ... WTF but he continues to do it. P*sses my off!!!!!!!!!

Wait so u openly admit that you give bad racks? Guess I'm not surprised you would be beyond sharking as well.

Sorry "but there are certain times when some verbal jabs are too good to pass up" :thumbup:

If sharking bothers you then you are weak minded.

Slug racks and sharking. Way to grow our sport.


Stay classy my friends.

 

[TheTalentASP]

Your absolutely right, this sport is so much more than that. League shooters are notorious for this sort of bs!

Sharking is a sign of a weak human being.

 

[JohnnyP]

Next time you are down on a tough shot, ask your opponent if he breathes in or breathes out before he pulls the trigger.

I agree with this 100%. I've been sharked once before. Guy was whistling while I was down on my shot. I politely asked him to stop. A few minutes later I got down and he started whistling. I gently put my cue down and with one punch i knocked him clear off his stool. He layed on the floor snoring for nearly a minute. Word spread fast and I haven't been sharked since.

Real men know how to rack.

I don't tolerate sharking well and will be quick to point out they are a real dick., no matter who is watching.
Worse than that is an audience heckler. I had one guy heckling me every time I was on a shot and ready to pull the trigger. This was during a tournament. I asked him twice to stop, but he continued. I went and got a hot steaming cup of black coffee and loudly told him he'd be wearing it the next time he opened his mouth. The people around him scattered as if I was pointing a gun in that direction, because they knew my threat was real. He shut up.

Slug racking is not an art. Do you spit in the chalk as well?

There is a "good shot!" team in my league. Just about every shot we make, no matter how good or bad prompts a "great shot!" call out from one of them.

They are probably just being friendly, but they may be intentionally sharking. Regardless, it's annoying. And now I start feeling I need to say "good shot!" back to them occasionally. Geez.

 

[logical]

I say, "A real man would shoot at the rack and bust them up!"


John

Seriously?....that qualifies as clever in your circle?

 

[PocketPooler]

I play a guy races in nine-ball, and with showing up late, having four cues he switches back and forth (breaking them down each time), and generally just being as slow as possible, it screws with my game really bad. I can never get in dead stroke against him. Last time we played, I won the break and put a 3 pack on him, and he damn near got back in the game. I won 7-5 dropping nine on last rack but was 5-5 only moments before. He knows what he's doing and it drives me nucking fits! Good thing it's only for fun, or I'd have to find new friends! Lol

When I am playing against regulars and its rack your own I will often ask "what happened there, did you get shit racked"?
