crazy shots you'll never see again?

So my buddy Fleck claims he was known for sending the cue ball off the table in a consistent direction when he broke too hard.

A cop walked into the bar and announced in an a-hole tone that everybody needed to pull out their ids.

My buddy looked at his friends and they nodded in approval. He powered the break off the table and square into the cops nuts.

The cop turned around and staggered out of the bar without another word.

My buddy didn't pay for a drink the rest of the night.
 
My buddy and i were playing 8 ball in a bar one night. He breaks, the cue ball hits the head ball and pops up in the air past the rack.... and hits some woman right in the center of her back 3 or 4 feet away, walking away from the table. After we made sure she was ok, we couldn't stop laughing. We still talk about that every once in awhile.
 
I was playing in a nine ball tournament once and i shot a ball hard into the corner pocket, It hopped off of the back of the pocket and jumped onto the rail. As it slid down the rail it caromed off a piece of chalk and fell into the side pocket. Could never do that again if i tried.
 
One in a million jump shot. On a bar box straight in corner to corner diagonal. I hit it straight, but over-amped it. CB lands on top of OB, OB starts to trickle in, CB hits square at the back of the pocket, goes straight up in the air and bounces a couple times as the OB trickles by and goes in. Looked like the coolest trickshot ever, but I just hit it bad. :D
 
I was at a poolroom about 15 years ago with my brother in law, he miscues
and scoops the cb off the table and into a jacket pocket of a guy walking by the table. I laughed till it hurt

Also watched a player make 6 balls on a 9-ball break with the 9 still on the table with an easy 3 ball run, and didn't get out.

Got any good ones?

I have seen that so many times, as a matter of fact I know for sure that I seen more people get hooked or not get out after a monster 6-7 ball break than I have get out.
 
kinda pool related,

I was on the road in 86, in New Orleans playing pool. I was a C+ player at the time. I was on short $$$ and got in a argument with my friend I was travelling with, I got beat the night before and didnt want to go out, just wanted to drink a beer and watch TV. He was cool with that.

so after 3-4 beers(lots for me) in this crack house motel, we couldnt decide what to watch on TV, I had a half full can of beer, He said something that pissed me off, I threw the 1/2 full can of beer at the TV hard, not a toss, it hit the top edge of the screen flipped up in the air did 3 or 4 rotations(it went up 4 feet above the top of the TV) came down and landed on top of the TV(like I set it there), didnt spill a drop-I guess the spinning held the liquid to the bottom of the can. The label was facing us.

It was so cool we dropped our beef and chilled out and that was that!!! I couldnt do that again in a million tries. How it did that without spilling a drop is amazing, it didnt dent the can either. It looked like I set the can on the top of the TV dead center. I was about 10 feet back when I threw it, I'm not Nolan Ryan but it was my version of a fast ball.

Something I did and will most likely never do again. This was back some 25 years ago before I knew of a 2nd ball break and the 8 on the break was a win. I was playing a guy $5 a game, breaking pretty much head on, and snapped the 8 in three games in a row. The 4th game I broke and the 8 teetered on the corner but didn't drop. I've made two in row maybe twice since and have played a LOT of pool.

I think the reason why is back then the cloth was probably Stevens or Mali, that break worked good for the 8 in the side on that cloth.

Nowdays once in a while I can do it on Simonis but not like before. 3 in a row is strong, i never did that myself. good job:thumbup::smile: the simonis the balls slide to much and thats why I dont think its as reliable as it was.

I seen one of the best pool players alive break and make 7 balls on the break, had an easy open shot, with an easy open table, and NOT get out, in fact he hooked himself his very first shot. It was Alex Pagulayan and Fransico Bustamante.

yup i seen that too, the pool Gods just dont let a player get out when he makes 6-7 balls on the break. I'm positive more often than not players dont get out with those big breaks because the they arent normal and the balls get kicked around, especially the CB and the layout is just bad afterwards.

I'm serious, I have never made 6, but 5 lots of times and the balls are funny afterwards its a fluke break and with all the kicks and kisses who knows whats where afterwards?!?! thats the only logical reason I can come to.
 
I came in to post about how my buddy left the CB spinning on the rail after a hard break... but apparently sharkster beat me to the punch.

So, instead... top this... in a league match our team captain (who is older but seems to be in great health physically and mentally) lined up on a ball (pointing his cue at the four ball, seemingly to find the contact point/line of aim)... then without any rhyme or reason just fired it into the hole. I don't mean he shot the 4 with the cue ball. I mean he drilled the 4 ball into the pocket by striking with his cue.

The league rep was baffled and couldn't find a specific rule to cover it, basically it's just considered an accidentally-moved ball and you just replace it and carry on shooting. Not a foul.
 
the craziest shot i have ever seen was at league one night playing 9 ball. this girl on our team is a 2 and always just knocks the shit outa the balls figuring something will fall in one of the six pockets.

well her opponent makes the 9 but scratches. so my teamate spots the 9 and places the cueball about 4 inches away for a straight in shot.

she rears back and fires away into the corner pocket. the 9 hits one corner of the pocket then bounces off the other corner then shoots across the table toward the sidepocket. hits the corner of the side pocket and comes back down the table and falls into the corner pocket she originaly was aiming for.
 
Just the other night I got left a look at the 4 in a game of 9 ball. Cue ball frozen to the rail, one diamond away from the side pocket. The 4 ball was the opposite side of the cue, opposite diamond and all.

I jacked up on the cue, slammed it in, pocketed the 4, the cue ball hopped straight up into the air at least 3 feet, bounced of the rail and caromed off another ball, leaving shape for the 5. I was sorta like, wtf just happened.
 
One night in leagues my opponet ran down to like 4 balls left in 8 ball and missed so I start running out and get out of position so I play safe and ultimatly played a beautiful safe and he had NO shot, only problem was I THOUGHT I hit it bad and did a really stupid rookie thing and tried to use my cue as a "magic wand" and tried to aim the cue ball as it was moving so I swung my cue to the right a little bit...only problem was I was still for the most part down on my shot and my cue hit the 8 ball straight into the side pocket. That so far is the closest I have ever been to breaking my cue across my knee.
 
I was gambling on a bar table one night in a place called Hillside Billiards. I was breaking and jumped the cue ball off the table, out the front door, onto the side walk, and then into the street. It was 5pm and the street was a four lane, full of traffic. I had to run a 1/4 mile to the bottom of a steep hill to retrieve the cue ball. It almost rolled into the river at the bottom of the hill too. I have no idea how it didnt get run over by one of those cars!

Around 15 years ago we used to play a lot at a place called Matchpoint.

This poolhall was situated on the 2nd floor above an Opel (GM) dealership.
As lots of dealers do they had brand new cars lined up all around the building.

My buddy broke hard but hit the head ball wrong and the cueball flew of the table
at 20mph. It went thru a window (thru the glass) and fell down.

We looked out the window and the cueball was laying right in between
two cars that were parked maybe 2 feet apart.
