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". He also plays pretty well too.
Hunter is a amazing teacher,
Yes, that's my take on it as well; I shouted at the screen when he pulled it off. I would have to say it's one of my top 5 all time favorite shots since it landed like a feather in a tight spot.
In the same tournament, Soquet made some excellent safety kick shots that had me along with others shaking our heads. He kicked with just enough speed to graze a ball in the middle of the table to reach the rail and hide behind a ball just off the rail. The ball he grazed didn't quite make it to the rail so he definitely planned the grazing and hiding the cueball.

Like thrusting the sword forward into the gut.
Hunter is a very friendly guy.
the correct hand position going through the cue ball is essential
Hunter may secretly be the best pool instructor in the country, he's certainly one of them, and he's got a personality to match, always going forward.
The wrist releases forward as the arm moves forward too..... Improving the grip/wrist/forearm is the fastest way to move up a level or two. I can get away with a lot of errors, but the correct hand position going through the cue ball is essential to play better every day in every way.

It was a lot like the shot Corey did in the video in this thread.

He made a razor thin cut into the side during the match that was incredible too.
The play in the semi finals and finals overall was exceptional. Kind of strange though, there was a lull in the middle of the finals where both players dogged a number of shots. There were a number of amazing shots and lots of incredibly precise 3 and 4 rail position shots made. A pool clinic could be made out of those two matches.
That was one of the most amazing shot I've seen in a long time. Not only to have the knowledge to understand it but to actually do it in a big game.
I talked to Daniel today, the owner of POV, and he said he will try to put a compilation of shots from that tournament. He will put that one in and also the jump shot that Orcollo did in another match. Both shots were absolutely incredible.

I'm dying to see this, here's to hoping the clip gets uploaded soon...
Oh god I don't even have to look to know which one. I hit that ball for hours and half the time
couldn't get the spin to take off the rail. I was blown away anyone tried that shot on purpose
in a real match. Now it's happened again. Which means I have to practice it some more.
I hope to see a video but I threw in some lines so I could understand what everyone is talking about. Are either of these two illustrations correct?

hahahah...that is about the exactness of my mental picture!
IBA, The second diagram was the shot he made.:thumbup: tap tap tap....
altho i think the qball and 6 were farther down table another half a diamond or more, same ball position.

I knew IBA was setting us up in that ring game. He knows things.
A pimp and a playa, I say!
That is correct... I think that the 7 and 8 are transposed in the diagram, as well. He got shape on the 7 into the side, and the 8 was the ball closer to the head rail (if my memory serves me correctly).
Either way, the shot was unreal. To pull that off, on that table, in the finals... a touch of class, indeed.
So the question I have is...
What was the score when he made this shot? Most times you see a great, aggressive shot is when the person has a substantial lead, or on a hill/hill game where no other options are available.
My guess he was up at least 8-1 and rolling. Not downplaying the shot at all, it's just my experience on when you see great shots in pool.
Or of course being down a crazy amount and just free stroking because you know you're out.
IIRC, he did win 9-1 or 11-1.
:nono:
Ahhhh.....can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually think it was....
