anyone else have video proof of making this shot?
- Thread starter jigmoore
- Start date
A few old guys I knew when I was a kid could make it pretty regularly. It's a cool shot because of the slow speed needed to spin it back to the pocket. really cool shot, closest I've ever come is an inch from making it. I'll see if I can make it one-handed on film.

NOT the same shot, but similar. Much less angle. Regardless, the video is great to watch from start to finish... An AZ member made it (forgot name).

i gamble on that shot with anything greater than 3 tries. not even close to the same (as you stated)
only counts if a beer is in the other hand and the lights are off.
I was just talking about this exact shot the other night. I have seen this shot made many times, on a tight GC. I also recall seeing someone set that shot up but cut it back into the side pocket, not for sure on that one though.

How good a player is Bob? His fundamentals look ropey to me. The way he lines up suggests he'd struggle to make it in the side, let alone the corner.

You'd be wrong.
Sure. It's not a shot I can make so I'm not doubting his ability, but his fundamentals look shot to me.
Disclaimer: I'm from a snooker background, and can't believe anyone can make balls standing like that.
I can set up the camera but my table is only an 8 footer at the moment so it wouldn't be quite as hard... I will tell you this tho there are 2 more ways of making it besides the way Bob did it.......
Another way???
The cue-ball in the deepest part of left hand side (as the viewer faces the shooter), of the corner pocket, at ninety miles an hour!!!
Verifiable? Ask "Freddy the Beard," he's seen that shot, too!!!
One of the other ways is how Vernon Elliot could do it for the "CHEESE"!

Bobby Leggs used to do it.
Friended lol.
For the cheezes...
I'd take 4 shots- to shoot it straight in the side:sorry:

that would actually be tougher on a smaller table. the smaller the table, the tougher that shot is (assuming same size balls of course)
set it up and film it. there's a bunch of talkers....but i don't see any cheese fallin.
here's my lame attempt the other night:
whoooosh
