One handed break challenge... let's see what you got!

[OneHandedBreak]

All right y'all it's time to channel your inner Adam Sandler... I will admit to having done this before, but anyone can learn it with a little practice! Just don't try it on a table that you give two $#!&s about, haha!

The rules are simple, take three shots at it and see how many balls you can drop without ripping the felt or smashing somebody's drink with an errant cue ball. My personal record is 5 balls including the 8.

OK, let it fly!

That's the perfect time to practice it, right before the next cloth change!

If you notice that particular table doesn't have enough space behind it to do a fully Happy Gilmore approach, but stepping down off that little foot ledge adds some extra oomph. Not sure it's legal though... I've thought of bringing my own "starting blocks" or sumpin for when there's room for such a thing. Would that negate the "one foot on the floor" rule?

No, it will be the cause of the cloth change lol

While I will admit to having nearly broken one window and another time almost hitting my opponent right between the eyes with an errant cue ball, I've never even put so much as a single thread out of place on the cloth. The trick is downward force on the rail with the shaft. As long as the cloth on the rail stands taller than the wood around the table you're golden, I promise!

This may be better on the Reddits or the TikToks than AZB. No bar, no jukebox, no silly breaks, this is Ames, mister.

Playing single handed is fun and it's amazing how accurate and with control you can play.. some shots.. Other shots get completely fumbled.
But it's still entertaining and makes me realize that back hand does a lot more than I might assume.

OK I'll take the bait... is that a line from a movie?*

Speaking of which, Caddyshack beats Happy Gilmore every day of the week.

No doubt, I have tried to play one handed just using my front hand.


Cuebuddy>>>needed a lighter cue.

You mean f****d up? How many beers does it take to get up the courage to try?

Helium in the butt of your cue helps. And lots of strategically placed magnets. And drugs, lots of drugs.

Pretty sweet shot but I shudder to think of what would happen to the poor sap who tries this in front of the regulars around where I am. He’d wish that they’d just shot him.

Even if the result was a snap? Or would that make it even worse...?
