Has anybody seen this on those old matches they sometimes show on ESPN classic? At the end of one of the episodes each of players shows some trick shots. Most of the shots are pretty standard, but Jimmy Moore does one that is pretty orginial. In fact, during the video Allen Hopkins said he had never seen it before.
Anyways, this is what happens for those that haven't seen it: Mr. Moore goes to the foot of table and gathers up all of the balls. He then grabs say 8 balls--4 in each hand-- while not looking at the balls. Then he slowly rolls the balls all at once towards the head rail. Before the balls touch the head rail he adds the total numerical value of all the balls.
It's not a trick shot by the standard definition but I do wonder if there is a trick to it, despite Jimmy Moore's insistence that there is no trick.
So, has anybody here seen anybody else do this or have any history of this stunt?
