The below beauty was uncorked during the 2014 DCC George Fels Memorial Straight Pool Challenge

To escape Ralf Souquet’s safety played at the 1:08:25 point of this DCC 90-minute 14.1 match (a match skillfully video-recorded by Dana Stephenson -- along with many others he did -- and thoughtfully uploaded to youtube by Dennis Walsh):

. . . a minute later (at about 1:09:45) Huidji See shoots the daring kick-combo-carom shown above at one-8th slo-mo speed. The shot wows the railbirds. Me too. As usual, with often uncanny-seeming shots that are so pleasurable to behold, *seeing* (no surname pun) the shot was actually harder than making it. It was in effect “wired” *if* the kick was accurately done -- and with sufficient power.
I took the liberty of excerpting the shot from Dennis’s video and rendering it to slo-mo for others (and myself) to better appreciate the shot’s beauty and its “pool physics” so to speak. Most of us have kicked at wired shots in the pack, but few with this very pretty element of accurate carom added. As mentioned, it surely wowed the appreciative (and fortunate) spectators.
