I believe pocketing very difficult shots, while attempting to get ideal position, is extremely beneficial. Here's one I practice all the time: place the object ball 1 inch from end rail, about a diamond and a half from the corner pocket. Place the cue ball behind the headstring, a couple of ball...

You might not be able to play in the NBA, but with dedicated practice, you could still become an expert.

An excellent video! It validates what I tell my students to do to improve their games. Practice difficult shots.

I went to a bar room eight-ball tournament once (7-foot tables) and was winning handily and undefeated, when I was faced with a three ball, cross-corner, combination shot; the 8-ball being the second ball. I called my ball and pocket and successfully made the shot. Immediately, my opponent...

One of the greatest matches I've ever watched. Shane Van Boening and Mario He going at it in the 2023 European Open Championship.

The Akron Open attracted many top pros at Starcher's Billiards in Akron, Ohio. Joe Kerr directing. Always a great tournament. Nice crowds also.
