This video is my favorite.

It is a double jump shot. The cue ball jumped and cleared the first ball, then jumped again and cleared the second ball, before it striked the object ball.

This shot was made on a 9 foot Gold Crown table, by Mike Vidas, in Guys and Dolls Billiards in Vancouver, BC, Canada, with a X Breaker jump portion.

Enjoy,
Richard

nice shot, so is guys and dolls the best place to play in vancouver? any other places you would recommend, or tournaments i could check out. im thinking of takin a trip down there, i havent been since '04.
 
Pssht what a loser he didn't even pocket the ball. What a crap player to be hooked behind that last ball, what an amateur. Haha jk that was cool I never tried that before, I might piss off the local pool hall owner and try it.

Guys and Dolls has some pretty decent food there and it is licenced. The owner, Tony also organizes tournament with added money from time to time. He spends money renovating and is always adding new items to his menu and making little improvements here and there. I like to support a business that makes an efforts to offer more value to pool players and give back to its customers, that is why I like Guys and Dolls.
There is a tournament at Guys and Dolls every Tuesday and Sunday.
Whether it is the best place to play is very subjective, but personally, I like it.

There is a story about David Matlock doing it on a barbox, and I have talked to a guy that was present when it was done.
 
Hi Richard
Made a nice one yesterday. Cue ball about 2 inches from ball to jump. They are near the corner pocket. One ball, slight cut to the side pocket about 8 inches away from the pocket. Usually when my cue ball is this close to the ball I need to jump, I have to pay a little more attention to getting over the ball than accuracy. Made the shot this time. Could not have done it without the X-Breaker. Other sticks I would have to hit to hard to be accurate.
Thank you X-Breaker.

Can I just say, this is the very reason I HATE jump-cues. I mean, this is a complete bastardization of the game when people start treating it like it's Frogger. In my opinion, the beauty of pool is that for better or for worse, you are confined to the limitations of the given equipment.

Not exactly what I was expecting from the thread title. I saw this shot done once and was hoping this video would be the same.

I saw this jump shot.

I watched Jamie Baraks make this jump shot over 2 balls, 1 each on each side of the side pocket, and go 2 rails for perfect shape on the 2. What was so impressive was the fact he shot it perfect, keeping the cue ball on the table considering the length of the jump shot. I may not have the 5-6-8-9 where they were, but the rest are right, and he did run out the table.

This was the final matches in the Midwest 9 ball tour event here in Wichita last June when he was playing local Steve Rector. He double dipped Steve for the win. Steve is no slouch, he took 2nd in Big Corpus Christi tournament this year, and won IPT qualifier in Tulsa a couple of months ago.

Jamie had just come off a win over Joey Gray from OKC, and was playing near perfect pool. It was the first time I had seen Jamie play, and I was impressed.
