Given numerous chances...and not under tournament conditions...yes! (Otherwise no!)

Interesting that he shot that with an open bridge and to see the reaction of the shaft on that shot...the "twang" and the way it came up off his bridge.
 
Standard Draw Shot

There is nothing special about this 8-9 foot draw shot. Routine. It is special when you draw 10 feet or more with spin for position. :grin-square:
 
Ok, I'll be the one on record. Nope. That's some serious juice !!

This is the first time I've watched Chinakhov play anything other that 14.1 and he might be my new leader for biggest break. He doesn't control it as good as guys like Van Boening but he sends them flying around the table.

OH, no worries... most folks here could break just as good ;)
 
I voted yes as I have made a similar shot on a 9' (table and a half draw) but it certainly wouldn't be a high percentage shot for me.

Edit: after giving this some thought I imagine it would probably take several (10, 20, 50 lol) attempts so I probably should have answered no.

I was going to say no because it's a 10 foot table. On the bar table I play on I can most certainly do it. But then I realized it was Simonis and I play on slow cloth. So yeah, positive I could. Could I do it open bridge? Maybe after lots of practice. Definitely not now.

Undoubtedly - it also explains why a lot of hustlers will tell their mark what a great player the mark is to reinforce the belief while knowing the poor guy has zero chance of winning.
 
I voted $#&% no, are you kidding me. If you can't walk up to a table and pull that shot off anytime you want you really can't do it in my opinion. Maybe someone here will teach me since it appears most everyone here owns that shot.
 
Link has a copyright issue so I can't see the video but based on other comments the shot is drawing the ball 8-9 feet on a 10 ft. table then yes... I can do the shot. Power drawing is something I have a lot of fun with.

I saw the vid before it went down....whitey was more than a diamond off the end rail....
...the object ball was about a diamond from the other end rail...about straight in...
..he drew back to the short ral he was shooting from...and up two diamonds for shape.

From what I can figure from your posts...you can do it.
The ones who can't better stay off the road....or go no farther than 40 from home.
