    Shot of the year 2020 candidates

    For pool, we had this. He also didn't have shape after the shot, but he did get out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqA1ultNNSM&t=65 (time=1:05)

    just seen big ko jump-cut a ball down the rail

    Thanks, I enjoyed the commentary one. He gave some interesting insight into his pattern play principles and how he handles nervousness. As a note for others, you can turn on English subtitles, if they aren't on automatically. Unfortunately, they go by a bit quickly sometimes. You can skip...

    Mosconi Cup announcement coming on Monday

    Postponement, maybe. I can't think of a reason to hold off on a cancellation announcement unless it includes some other event announcement. They are holding the World Snooker Championship right now. So, they are working to hard to have events.

    Mosconi Cup announcement coming on Monday

    I noticed a post on Matchroom Pool's Facebook page this week states: "HUGE MOSCONI CUP NEWS DROPPING ON MONDAY" I assume it is good news, since I doubt they would hold off an announcement if it was going to be cancelled.

    There have been a few ghost events with probably the largest one going one right now. It even has a bit of controversy, players pattern racking. Semi-finals are tomorrow, Albin vs. Kaci at 9 AM CST and Fedor vs. Tyler at 1 PM CST. https://www.youtube.com/c/OneSportsTVBilliards There are also...

    Loose Grip/Tight Grip and Resulting Cueball Action

    As far as whether to use a loose or tight grip, here is evidence from one of the best in the business as to which way he does it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF-2xZnQXLs&t=4047 (time:1:07:27) I thought this was what people meant when I heard the term "slip stroke" until I saw a link post...

    Color commentator for Mosconi Cup

    As others have mentioned, I did mean "expert commentator". "Color commentator" is a term I am familiar with and didn't consider it being misunderstood. Sorry for the confusion.

    Color commentator for Mosconi Cup

    Alex is captaining so I don't expect to hear him in the booth during a match. Does anyone have a link to a match that John Schmidt commentated? I don't remember hearing him before. I watched the match Earl recently commentated on before it was taken down. I was impressed. Do you think...

    Color commentator for Mosconi Cup

    Alex Lely and Jeremy Jones are captains. Karl Boyes is a vice captain. They are my 3 favorite commentators. Karl might do some. I think Jeremy may have commented a match last year or the year before, but he didn't do many if he did.

    Color commentator for Mosconi Cup

    Who would you like to replace Karl since Matchroom decided to keep have some of our favorite commentators preoccupied with other tasks this year?

    The 4 second stroke

    Funny that you should mention doing your stroke in slow motion.. After seeing Mark Wilson's presentation at Derby City this year on YouTube, I practiced my stroke in slow motion to help improve my delivery/transition. While doing it, I discovered sometimes my cue was moving offline on the back...

    Top 10 BANK and KICK Shot Aiming SYSTEMS

    I bet the viewership has gone down in proportion to the length of the lockdown. You are right about time being better spent on fundamentals. Besides better ball pocketing, it would also improve speed control and have more consistent amounts of spin. And, it affects every shot. How many...

    Top 10 BANK and KICK Shot Aiming SYSTEMS

    I think views are down because not many people can take the knowledge to a table to practice right now.

    Top 10 BANK and KICK Shot Aiming SYSTEMS

    Good job. I was a bit surprised to not see the method described in the video below(at 58:30). I had seen a few pros use it, most notably Chris Melling, but never knew how it worked until I ran across this video. It is a shortcut to a method described in Byrne's Standard Book of Pool...

    It has a few "lesson" videos in different languages. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpkOaTxfSpYa6npVpBcn-TA/featured

    Bo Didley is a gunslinger played on the juke box

    I know that the following video doesn't show his true talent, but it is what I think of when I hear Bo's name. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyhJ69mD7xI And, a pretty good pool player has a cameo.
