Here are a couple of neat ones (including a safety). Nothing new here, but they're fun little weird shots. Jersey Red 1-pocket double-kiss shot: https://youtu.be/zLNlohPh37I Double-kiss bank shot from near the side pocket into the corner https://youtu.be/nynhaxh6dtI Frozen ball 2-rail spin...

Hi GeoEnvi, I'm nowhere near a pro player, and far from even a regionally competitive player, but I've always enjoyed going for the miraculous shot. I've lost many many games and matches because of that temptation, but I play pool to have fun, not necessarily to win. Those rare occasions that...

Hello friends, It's been a while since I've been active on AZB, but thought I'd chime in for this one, just for fun. From a visual observation of various slomo videos, the fastest instantaneous rotation I've seen on a cue ball (limited to my own shots) is around 1400 - 1700 RPM, about twice as...

Congratulations! Keep up the good work!

Scott is saying that the cue ball used during his second match was NOT a red circle NOR a measles ball. Perhaps he is referring to the Super Aramith Pro cue ball with the Aramith logo on it. From Facebook: (Below picture not from Facebook)

Ugh. Sorry, I didn't know that about Edge (I don't have it yet). Looks like it'll have to be Firefox, Safari, or (dare I say it) Internet Explorer.

Chrome won't work with the chat room. If you're getting that message in Firefox, Edge, Safari, etc, then you probably need to install Java. You can get it here. It's a pretty quick install. http://www.java.com/ Hope this helps, -Blake

It is indeed! See you there tomorrow! :) www.ustream.tv/channel/california-streaming -Blake

I don't have the full bracket, but they're down to the final 4: Winner side: John Smith vs John Henderson 1-Loss side: Buddy Hall vs James Christopher Matches start at noon CDT on Sunday.

The rules can be found on the US Open web page: http://www.usopen9ballchampionships.com/players.php From the above-linked page: Oddly, the "rules and notes" section does not mention the position of the rack, but from reading other threads here on AZB, I believe the 9 will be on the foot spot...

Looks like the live stream will be here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/california-streaming Here is the flyer:

Very very cool! Awesome video!

Yep. Whatever this peculiar game is, it is clearly not 9-ball. Call it goof-ball or wacky-ball but don't pretend that it's 9-ball.

Oh pfff. Ko shot it, and it was posted in HD, and we're talking about it now. It was a nice shot, no matter who shot it. Nothing extraordinary but still a nice shot. And yes, I was rooting for Shane. ;) -Blake
