Greatest and Most Interesting PRO POOL SHOTS of All Time … 200 Shots in 20 Categories

Glad you remembered Efrens force follow shot. I saw it like the rest of us 15 or 20 years ago. I used it one time in a real game about 5 years ago and it actually worked:)

I’m glad you liked it. I tried to include all the classics along with as much new and not-so-well-known stuff I have seen over the years.
 
I was thinking the same. I wonder what was causing it? It seemed to be mostly Rasson tables.
For sure king cobra had nothing to do with it. 😉 A good mechanic could have put a damper on that. Especially for a big event. Simple handyman fix. 🤷‍♂️ Thee uh weather strip available at any hardware store. 🤷‍♂️
 
Story alert: 😉
The clips have triggered my memories. I noticed 1 player more than others. Do you have the stats on that? 😉
Efren....and uh I studied Efren as soon as he hit Reno at the Sands. I had heard of him the year previous through Parica. I sweated Parica and Dan Louie (Always Danny to me) at Caesars Tahoe. Danny beat him twice!!!!
That was the tournament that Mike Massey shot the jump shot in one of Byrne's books. Playing 9 ball on the 9 foot table. The first shot on the 1 straight in with the 5 and 7 blocking midway in a position that made 3/4 ball clearance required. with the 2 on the opposite end rail. Mike made it and drew whitey the length of the table. Then ran out.shrug.
Oh yeah okay, so I overheard Parica say that he was not the best in the Philippines. So following and studied Efren at every opportunity. The most incredible I can think of is told here somewhere. 🤷‍♂️ He shot a jump shot. I have seen 1 and 1 only by him.
So he had played the most incredible safety after the break. There were 3 balls in front of a corner all a few inches off the rail and a semi circle. Efren took whitey off the object ball 3 rails around to find the gap and bump the ball going in and it hit the rail and rebounded to close the door on whitey locked in the Jaws. The most incredible safety I have ever seen. Ah and the pool gawds intervention had a stray ball falling into a pocket. So Efren popped it off the point to get a hit And Hook on the object ball near a side pocket. Shrug 🤷‍♂️ Only Efren being himself.

Thanks Bob. I have been compiling these shots for 20 years.




It does seem a bit ridiculous for this to happen, especially in pro tournaments.
I thought that I read somewhere that the table that had the 2 8 balls ejected in a row had a Go Pro or some sort of camera mounted in the pocket and thats what ultimately caused the rejections. Everything on the interweb is true otherwise it wouldn't be there, right??:confused::confused::LOL::LOL:

no clue about the camera, but in general for that to happen there needs to be a ball already in the pocket
