Impossible Snooker Shot by Allison Fisher

[Joe T]

Had to share just in case you haven't seen it. Go ahead and jump to the 1:35 mark and you'll soon see Earl has nothing on Allison.

I think she made a bad hit on the cue-ball, Joe.
A far better shot was to kick at the ball, dead weight....
...remember, you don't have to hit a rail at snooker.

A Chinese hook is when you're shooting over the ball, instead of from
behind it.
I feel this phrase stems from the fact that old Chinese writing was read
starting from the top right of the page.
And you started read a Chinese book from what would be our last page.

I love the commentary. "Only an Irishman would leave a girl a shot like that." lol

I agree with you, buddy!

What an adorable lady.

Beauty is her talent.

Pool is her vehicle.

Applause is her reward.

Clap..Clap..Clap!!!

A chinese hook or chinese snooker, to my knowledge steams from there standard height being short. Hence it is much more difficult for a short person to shoot over a ball and a tall person.

Also in the video I forwarded to 1:35 and didn't see anything other than dennis shoot a simple cut shot.

Another explanation is that "you're on the other side of the world."

Then it would be a Japanese hook..or many other nationalities.
The northern Chinese are taller than the ones from the south...
...lots of six-footers.
..and Yao Ming was the tallest NBA player at one time.

That would be Australian hook.:smile-us-down:

Chinese Hooked or "Hong Konged" is a very common saying amongst the old timers here in Canada.

This explains it well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7k9Wt5nycM&feature=player_detailpage#t=107s
