Yes, he has a stroke most would kill for. Johnnyt
yea that was one crazy shot
It isn't a pendulum stroke though. his grasp is forward and drops his elbow to compensate.
One of the big reasons I got my game back a few years ago was watching how players from the PI stroked. No two look a like when they shoot. I was trying to copy more of a snooker stance and stroke from when I first started coming on AZ. When I use to play before the stokes in 2002 and 2003 I just shot only making sure the cue went straight at the end of my stroke and follow through of course. After going back to the no thinking stroke I didn't miss many balls and my speed control came back as well. Johnnyt
Seen a ton of pool. Might be best shot I've seen...overall.
Who won?
Carlo won 11/1, Alex couldnt get a roll for the life of him. Also dogged a couple shots.
I'm extremely curious about this shot. Anyone know how we can see it?
At the very least, can someone diagram it?

Agreed...not a "classic" stroke at all...but the results sure as hell speak for themselves! :grin:
I;m not sure of the exact position of the 6 and cue ball!
But Carlo got to the short side of the 7 almost straight
in to the bottom right corner and ran out!!
The 6 and CB were both a diamond or diamond and a half higher then that. And the CB was slightly higher then the 6 making the shot more difficult.
CB when struck was traveling down table away from the 7, when it came back across it had reverse English on it, very hard to do when going opposite ways, then the speed was just nasty to land it where he did in an area of no more then the size of about 3-4 cue balls for shape.
Hopefully a video gets up

Hunter understands and can explain this technique,
Yes, he uses the same one we're familiar with. We use a sword to feel the motion, it's extremely accurate with increased acceleration. The key to the technique is in the hand/wrist/forearm position, the position will allow the player to get the shot out in front of their body better....and the visual is ideal imho.
My hand/forearm positon was out of line recently and I've been doing a lot of research and development to pin point what the essential factors are.This, of course, is for my own game, but it's also to teach other players who want to play this way. I've learned how it all comes together, and it was with the help of Hunter Lombardo and Corey D. - Hunter understands and can explain this technique, his teaching abilities are a few levels above "the norm". Hunter also plays pretty well.
