Fedor showing off...

Nice. As stated, the 3 rail version has been around for a while. It is in our Artistic Pool Program in the Bank/Kick category as a 6 point shot, the lowest degree of difficulty. The 4 rail version as been around a while as well. I think it got more well known now when Billy did it on video.
 
I wonder if these videos bring him more money than wining tournaments, looks like his focus is in the wrong place.
Still, nice shot.

runner up in WPC, runner up in US open, while holding both of those titles, i think he's shown his play doesn't suffer from social media activity. fact is he's always done it, started out with the "billiard brothers" on youtube before most players knew what social media was:


he was 14 there, trying to get to the WPM. he also used to do live practice sessions, just like he does now sometimes

I think I’ve gotten close to making it 5 rails, but it’s tough to get enough speed on the ball. Can’t remember if I’d made it or not.. I’ll have to try.

Well, I tried tonight for about 15 minutes. I was able to get about 80% of the way back to the side pocket after 5 rails. Diamond table. Hard to keep the ball on the table. Makes me feel like it’s possible but the stars have to align. Maybe fast cloth would help.
 
I've had that unnatural reverse happen on the toy tables. Haven't quite figured out how the spin holds for the big one.

All you're doing is crossing the ball with no English, that is what puts the spin on the object ball.

Well, yes, but.... The surprising thing is that the spin reverses on each cushion. That works better on broken-in cloth. I play the 3-cushion version with a half-ball hit and plain stun.
 

For those interested in the physics of this shot, this video discusses a similar phenomenon for super balls. It’s the same principle for these banks, but the tangential compliance is in the rail instead of the ball.

One of the best things you can do to improve your game is to play odd stuff and mess around once in a while. I believe it was Efren that would watch amateurs play because they do weird stuff and he could learn from them.

If it’s making him more money his focus is in the right place lol you got to do what puts food on the table. Especially in this game

Being that good at 14 is ridiculous
