Mike Dechaine - "VW in Traffic" shot

[Island Drive]

I loved this little circus shot.

If Efren has the famous "Z" shot, I have dubbed this shot the "VW in Traffic" shot. Yea, I know not really a VW, but closes enough.

It is at the 1:30:55 mark.

I love Ken's reaction to the shot, that was priceless

Every now and then you just have to take a flier!

I think he was probably trying to get by the first two legs of that shot without hitting a ball, and then hope he got a roll from there. Maybe someone will ask him about it. In any event, great shot.

I think one reason Efren started saying "I get lucky" was probably after some of his 'magic' shots, people said it was luck. So, Efren being Efren, he just went along with it.

I swear I played the shot. You can actually see me eyeing out the patch.

Awesome...

I swear I played the shot. You can actually see me eyeing out the patch.

I had no doubt! Really happy to see you take the title, sir. Unfortunately, I had to leave Dallas Sunday morning (working for a living sucks) and missed it in person, but did watch every minute on the live stream. Really appreciate you and Johnny taking the time for pics and autographs with my son. Keep up the good work. Look forward to seeing you play again soon.

I love Shuff's remarks. He's a great commentator! Good at everything really.

(maybe I can beat him at Galaga!) :shocked: lol

I really enjoyed hearing what Shuff was thinking and thought he was a great commentator.
This was the first time watching Mike play and was very impressed with his confidence and skill. Also I think he is an amazing jumper.
Congratulations on the win Mike, no doubt we will see you play in the Mosconi Cup.

I really think he was trying it, or at least part of it and hoping to get a little lucky. None the less, it was a fun shot to watch.

i agree, he hit at good speed so if he does hit another ball(unless he hits it full) he is gonna move the CB along way with that speed, the fact he didnt hit anything was great, i'm glad Jason captured it.,

 

[Fatboy]

I fully believe that we will see him on a Mosconi Cup team within the next five years. Brandon Shuff too. These guys (and a few others) are the future of American pool.

i agree mike and brandon will for sure as long as they dont get lazy, Shane and JA has a better work ethic

If you have played pool in Maine? That's a Maine shot. By a Maine player.

I embedded the 1:27:00 mark of the clip so it should pop up right at that spot when clicked
