Best shot you ever made to win

quick helper notes

A lot of interesting shots here, thanks for sharing. :)

Just some quick helper notes:

1, It is pretty easy to include a CueTable layout in your AZ post now. Just highlight the layout url texts and click on
wei.gif
button in top right side of the message editor. For more details, please check out this thread: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=64559

2, CueTable will display WeiTable layout. You can highlight the WeiTable data and display the layout in CueTable

3, I noticed there are quite a few bartable shots here. Although the bartable version of CueTable software has not been implemented on AZ yet, you might want to check it out at http://cuetable.com/B It has the correct size/proportion to a standard 7 ft bar table with regulation-sized balls. If you swap the letter P to a B in a layout text url (http://cuetable.com/B/?.....), the same layout on a 9 ft will get shown on a 7 ft..

This is fun, anyone else got a shot to tell here? :)
 
In my last APA match ever (hopefully) I played this 5 who got pissed when I was up 44-14 as a 6 so he quit trying to make balls and just started D-ing me up. He gave me this and it took me a while to convince myself that the wing balls were actually perfectly lined up :P

It was a league night, I broke and came up dry. My opponent shot and rattled the 10 in the corner. I ran out the solids and missed the break out. I pulled a hail mary and called the bottom corner pocket. That was the best night ever.

P.S. The table was very similar to this, just not 100% sure with the english and angle of the cue ball.

Tiger Planet Pool season opener this year I was down 6-5 in a race to 7 to a really strong player by the name of Bill McCollum or something like that. This was the match to make it to Sunday's rounds and get in the money.

I ran to the seven and left myself this. It's a tough shot on the seven either way you look at it, but on top of that the 8 is too close to the 9 to be cutable, and the 8 and 9 are too close to the corner pocket, making shape for the combo too risky in light of possibly scratching, coming up short, or locking on the eight. There's no lockup safe available, and I wasn't about to let this guy back to the table with any kind of shot on the seven while he's on the hill. So I went for it. I cut the seven in the pocket by the 8, and sent the cue ball one rail, right in between the eight and nine nudging the 8 toward the pocket, and caroming into the 9 sending it towards the opposite pocket, leaving me the simple out (on p.2) to put me hill-hill with the break. That was one of the most nerve racking moments I've been through in a tournament. I was so relieved after the breakout that the balls just happened to lay as easy as possible. You need some luck in this game too :P Anyways, I won the match because of that shot. I'll never forget it.
 
I would say best shots I ever made on my way to win a match. I think it was 3 years ago. it was my turn to shoot since my opponent failed to make a ball, problem was, I was having some problem controlling the rock and atleast 5 balls were close to each other. tried to break them up but ended up falling short and hooking myself.first shot, one rail kick that ended up pocketing the object ball. hurrah? no, some of the balls are still close to each other. got an open shot but no clear pocket. available options is to bank it on the side pocket or play a safe, I choose the first option, made it. still have a problem on the next shot, got an available bank, took it and made it again. my CB control ain't workin but my bank does, took another bank and did it for the 4th time. my opponent scratched his head, can't believe what he was seeing. and that's it, last 2 balls were easy.

another match is where I won 4 consecutive games having to long bank the moneyball on 4 succession in 9-ball. maybe I should consider playing bank pool! :rolleyes:
 
Best shot to win "match"

Three wood second shot to a 574 yard par five green, held up with a draw into a left to right and hurting diagonal wind, landing like a butterfly with sore feet in a 12 yard green entrance gap between two front bunkers and nestling three inches from the pin on a green running at 13 on the stimp, leaving a tap in eagle to win a three man play off in a qualifying event for an amateur invitation starting slot in the field for a European PGA Seniors Tour event:)

Sorry guys, couldn't resist as can't match most of those pool beauts:D

I'm glad I found this thread buried because I just had to share this with my fellow pool enthusiasts ...

I just got back from playing at the new pool hall that just opened up in my hometown and I had one heck of a night, capped off with this shot to complete a 4 pack I put together against a guy who was talking way too much trash.

you must had perfectly executed with enough force to carom off two balls! woooohhhhh !
 
My opponent left me safe on the 8 ball Hill/Hill in a tourney. I may never make the shot again but then again, I don't have to. It fell when it counted.

I would not like betting my check on this shot though!

That was a great shot but the odds just isnt there for me to try it. I think i would have tied his 9 ball against my 8 and try to force him on a break out. Even giving him ball in hand any thing could happen when he tried to break them out. If he elected to just go for the defense the eigh ball would then be in position to tie up his 13.
Still you played a fantastic shot

Played the 7 off of the 10 so that I could send the cueball down table and back to breakout the eightball. I tapped the 8 just enough to sit down on the rail with the cueball staying right with it.
 
1000$ first prise final - hill hill

P



The guys missed a tough 8ball and left me like this, hill hill for 1000$ second place was 500$.
 
20+ years ago I was in a crappy little tournament. It was so long ago that we were playing BIH in the kitchen. My first game (single elimination race to 1) I ran out to the 8 ball making shots that were above my skill level and ended up with this leave on the 8.

I will never forget this shot. It was my first table run in a tournament situation. All I got for my effort was a dirty look from my opponent and, of course, the inner joy of a job well done.

This is a shot I remembered very well. ........
Instead, I thought of a shot which I never had a chance to try (which was taught to me by Jeanette.)..

Page 3 I was thinking of: cut the 6 towards my side with 1/2 tip inside and send CB 2 rails downtown.

It was a happy accident. I really just wanted to move the 6 towards my pocket... :)

Wei,
In case you are not aware, Jeanette made this same shot TWICE in one game against Efren Reyes at DCC a couple of years ago. She had never played much one pocket before, and tuned up for the event by playing a weekend of one pocket with Efren - then ended up drawing him in an early round.

In the hill-hill game of their match, Efren left your shot for her TWICE, and she sunk it both times; she got ahead 7-4 and narrowly missed a bank shot to win; Efren banked out to win. Great match; Efren just giggled like a little girl, and said, "I got very lucky."
 
Best winning shot....getting that perfect leave, with a straight in easy shot to a corner or side pocket :D It's rare that I get it perfectly straight, but I like the challenge... :p

Best golf....450 yd Par 4.....Driver 300yds to a tight fairway, 9-iron to within 6 ft of a back-left pin, made the 6 footer with 1 1/2 feet of break to a tough pin.....hey, somebody else did golf first ;)
