Crazy shot or not ?

Oh man, I loved the Tenchu series!
...except for that abomination they made on the XBOX 360.
I think I addressed this point in my last post.
Of course if your tips showed no improvement in a head to head test I completely understand your need of the WOW factor.

There's nothing fishy there, rail first shooting at 7 o'clock and I bet you can do it too...
Is there any other way to play that shot???
You get it but I think the thread went right over Blackjack's head :duck:
Here's a toned down version of that shot... not quite as exaggerated but it didn't need to be that crazy in order for me to get position on the next ball.

You got swagger on your shots Brandon, the only thing I don't like is how your chalk looks like, it looks like its been drilled!
I'm questioning how he made the table length shot and still had enough juice on the cue ball to make it go six rails around the table. If you can do it, please post a video clip.

Unfortunately, I'm not tech savvy and may not get that shot consistently due to old age, Arthritis, Carpal Tunnel and poor vision. I could probably make it 40%-50% of the time. Have you tried it yet? Set it up, the OB half an inch away from the rail, shoot the CB with low left english at 88 mph, you'll never know unless you try it...
Love it! Looks like a billiard player here. Only a few American pros could shoot that shot with any degree of certainty. Child's play for Larry Nevil, but not so for lesser mortals. Just watched it again. I'm betting he didn't make it the first time or even most of the time
. That's a high risk shot in my book.

Larry Nevel saw me practicing this shot in Memphis once.
As shown,I'm shooting it about a foor closer to the 1 than the video shows on his where he goes 6 rails. I'm also shooting it with the goal to get down far enough to scratch. Usually,I'm coming about a foot short.
Larry asked if he could try it,and put his cue together. His version takes this path.
His scratched the first time with probably enough speed to come the 6 rails and back to within 6" of the side pockets. He was also 18" further back,and kept making it longer until he did it 4 times in a row with it FROZEN to the end rail. Get you some of that. Tommy D.

Did you and Larry shoot a direct hit or rail first? The video shows he went rail first and I believe you'll get more juice by going rail first...
The difficulty of you and Larry's shots are harder, because I think the OB on the video wasn't frozen...
It's that Kamui tip Larry uses! haha
His stroke is amazing, I wonder how many ferrules and tips he's killed from hitting the ball that hard all the time messing around with those shots...
