If I remember correctly, after Tullos had some kind of car accident? I think Steve Cook purchased his Balabuska.
One pocket. What’s the play?

Maybe but that's a hell of a risk.QUICK HONEST QUESTION GUYS!! Is the kick Bank 3-13 dead into the bottom right pocket??
SERIOUSLY. I think the 13 may pass by the 1bal
. Seriously
IS THE 3-13 KICK BANK DEAD??
If that is the Balabushka that he told me about that would have been his first really good cue.
Asking if a "kick bank" is dead? With that many variables, nothing is "dead".
seriously
even if you make it you have no control on your next shot if any
did you and gypsy soul have lunch together?
Maybe dead maybe not but worth exploring since idk if it was seen/mentioned by anyone else.
see post 135
you play way better than me so your 2 rail bank on the 5 at that angle is so low percentage for me its not the shot for me
tony chohan shoots alot of shots i wouldnt try too
but
" it aint bragging if you can do it"
Oh saw it, bank the 4 …… Yeah 8 out of 10 people are gonna shoot that shot. I usually beat 8 out of 10 anywhere I go so yeah , yalll shoot the 4 guys it’s the CORRECT shot!!!!!
HERE IS ANOTHER "CRAZY" BIGKAT SHOT LAST ONE GUYS . What about combo banking the 14-7 down to the right bottom pocket, while hitting the cue ball with 7:00 English spinning it to the rail and possibly down by the stack..?? ( MAKE ANY SENSE? IS IT POSSIBLE? ANY CHANCE?....Waits for incoming )
i am working on my long rail /long rail 2 railers as that is definitely a weakness in my game
but let me ask you this
you are good enough to not only bank the 4 but freeze the cue ball on the 14
what are you going to do then?
also you are good enough to MAKE the 4 and run out from there with safety if you miss and get it close
last
which shot is a higher % shot for you the back cut 2 railer or the bank on the 4
Yeah I was in that Jr. Golfs Tampa pool room in 68.
Was told it was Steve's home court, tile floor.
If you ball went off table, it could roll /roll/40 + feet to the other side of the room.
Rubber tile flooring.
I know you have been to Felt with the hard wood floors.
I've seen balls roll a good 40 foot or longer, loud also.
That's crazy talk. Unless there is somebody out there that for some reason only plays two rail banks (and a lot of them) and hasn't shot a one rail bank in years, I find it hard to believe that it is a higher percentage shot for anybody to back cut that steep angle five ball for a two rail bank than to one rail that much better angle four ball.I concur sir...Honestly, I play that shot often as well. It's not the safest shot out there. But if you MUST make a ball out of this scenario, the DOUBLE BANK ON THE 5 is just likely as the long bank on the 4 if not more so!!
But even if by some miracle you are close to the same odds for making either shot, the four ball is essentially a free shot that leaves your opponent little if you miss, likely leads to more balls if you make it, and leaves you in the driver's seat in control of the game right now either way, while the two rail steep angle bank on the five ball blasts open the stack leaving all the balls and the cue ball who knows where, and if you make the five who knows whether you will have another decent shot or not, and if you don't make it there is a pretty decent chance you sell out the whole game to your opponent. Risk reward says the shot choice between these two isn't a close call.
But if we ever play, for sure the two rail bank on the five is the right choice, definitely is, go ahead and shoot it lol.
