9-Ball And Earl Through British Eyes

Break shot
Their commentary is interesting. It just recently occurred to me, from watching another Earl video (I think he was playing Tony Ellin on ESPN), that the break shot most often is in fact a jump shot. These announcers, although they may not watch that much pool, have picked up on that. One announcer says, if I heard him right, that there is even a spot on the table 1/2 way or so between the spot and the string line, where the cue ball tends to land on its way to the rack on a jump shot. That's pretty insightful.

Almost every shot is a jump shot. Try this, put a quarter on the table an inch or so in front of the cue ball and try to make the cue ball hit the quarter. Unless you hit it very, very softly, the cue ball will jump over the quarter every time, low, high, or center ball.

doesn't have the classic encounter of Efren Reyes against Jimmy White!
That one is definitely a must see for all you folks out there!
No Reyes but her is Jimmy White making a different sort of rail shot
