There's a guy in my local room that shoots every shot like this (5 sec video)

I guess you could also call it TOJ (Touch of Jerk) :woot:
That would become annoying ... real fast!

Are there really players out there like that?
I'm not saying that guy isn't good, but if his skill level is anything like his "fundamentals".....holy crap. It makes me feel like I'm regularly playing guys at the U.S. Open.

That was CTE wasn't it? :thumbup:
If that was a pivot then I am doing it wrong!
Thought for sure that a great story was on it's way here, one about some guy from a small town in Idaho back in '65, named "Boxcar" Bobby, who used to shoot exactly like that. And sometime right about '68 or '69 he hooked up to play Lassiter some $100 a game nine ball...played for four and a half days without a break, and would up flat even. Jumped back the same way on every shot during his 12 rack run. Never saw nor heard about him again.
Oh hell, I'm disappointed, I was hoping for a story Jay. :smile:

WOW! There's a ninja in the pool hall. I wonder how many bystanders he has accidentally injured with his playing style!
HEY!! Thats me!!!!!:rotflmao1:
WAIT a minute!!!!.... You mean that is NOT what I should shoot like?
I'd say that's amazing, but believe it or not - there are at least 2 guys in my town that shoot like that - and they don't know each other. One of them is on my APA team - he's an SL 4/5. The other is about the same skill, maybe a "strong" 4/5 (8ball/9ball).
Not every shot is this animated - but on those really close shots, or really important shots - they are jumping around before the CB ever hits that OB. It's pretty entertaining sometimes.

No that's obviously TOI (touch of insane)
