We should start a thread with pool shots which require physical agility.

Like Bustie shooting behind the back. :D

I have a home security video pic of my 85 year old grand mother just like that but with her cane in her hand instead of a pool cue.

It was about when she was half way down the stairs after falling from the top.:wink:

Just kidding. All of my grand parent's were deceased before I was born.

Hi John, How are you doing?

That is a great pic. No wonder why I'm not breaking as good as when I was flying high. Just kidding again.:wink:

Best Wishes to You & the Family,

PS Is the wave case being dis-continued? I finally decided to get a 4 x 8 but can not locate a black model.
 
I thought you weren't supposed to pop up when you broke....I've been doing it wrong for years!!!!!
 
Pool is as much of a sport as golf, bowling, darts, croquet, etc...Which is to say, not really, but kinda sorta.

In other words, when elderly, fat, or otherwise physically unfit people do it, its a sport. When anyone who can jog more than a half a mile without having a heart attack does it, its a game that involves some hand-eye coordination.
 
It's a great game, we all love it. I just don't see why people have to try to make it into something it's not. There are some great athletes that happen to be very good at pool. Also some people that can hardly tie their shoes who are great at pool. Sure, playing a 10ahead set, you might walk 15 miles. But walking 15 miles isn't a sport either.

It takes the same amount of physical ability to play pool as it does to throw darts or beer pong. The break is the only part of pool that really takes some sort of athletic ability but lets be real... if you're sweating and out of breath from playing pool you're the opposite of an athlete.
 
Does one have to be physically fit to compete in sports? I'm thinking about the strategy to win. You can have two athletes, both fit, and the one who executes the best strategy will win. In this regard, one does need a modicum of intelligence to compete in sports. Being physically fit doesn't mean you can always win. You have to have the smarts too! :wink:

I'm trying to think of other sports that don't require physical strength. Some that come to mind at the time of this writing are archery, curling, golf, just to name a few. :)
 
Football and baseball: getting ready for practice, drinks some gatorade and maybe eats a powerbar.

Pool: getting ready for league, drinks 2 crown and cokes and a cheeseburger.
