So I have always loved the movie happy Gilmore. Because I like that movie and it always spoke to me as far as hoe I would like to act with stuffy people. And also since I have never been big into pomp and circumstance. And so because of all this I like earl Strickland. At least how he acts. Now if I ever made it big in pool I would not scream and swear etc. But I would probably do some kung fu spear routines with a pool cue. Do you think I would get ejected from tournaments? Or red carded or whatever the pool equivalent is? I was just going to ask this but lets have some fun. If money is no objective. What cue stick should I use for kung fu routines?

Thanks

I would go with Travis Trotter's strong suggestion and use a Cuetec. You can't go wrong by following Travis.:thumbup:

But I believe the ultimate goal should be to use the RAM shot more than once in a match.:shocked2:

Bob <-- has wished many times for a good RAM shot
 
You know if you guys really think I am troll you guys really need to amp up your game.

Like the pool tip should be made from kobe beef cow skin. The ferrule should be made from ivory. The shaft should be made from Kamugong and the bottom portion should be made from cocobolo. The bottom piece should have a wrap made from bull penis.Not sure what else is needed in a cue.

It should come apart in 15 pieces. You should pay someone to set it up for you. You should have a special made bandolier to carry the cue. That way you can always have your special cue with you.

Lets be creative. You guys need to start taking my questions as serious as I do.
 
I'd imagine it's about the most damage an Orchid cue has ever done around a pool table.

Gee, I was just thinking "Justin" as I read this. Then Bob reminds me of the Ram Shot. This thread is a trip down memory lane. Who was it that came up with that Ram Shot anyway? At seventy I can't remember the details. Not that this deserves to be remembered. Think of at as lockdown syndrome.

At 72 I remember it as if it were yesterday. If only I could remember what day it is today.:confused:

I believe his screen name at the time was PoolKiller. Later I believe it was pocketpoints. It appears that someone else took over the screen name poolkiller -- I didn't know they could be recycled.

In the mean time, here is a most excellent instructional piece on how to play tavern eight ball:

See page 19. :grin-devilish:

Edit: Thanks to AtLarge, I see that one of my beliefs is incorrect. Poolkillers81 it was, then.

The "Ram shot (RS)" was one of the types of shots described in a possibly absurdist document called "A Beginner's Guide to 8 BALL POOL" posted in 2012 by the long-ago banned member Poolkillers81.

Some of the other types of shots defined in the document were:

Contact shot (CS)
Direct shot (DS)
Indirect shot (IDS)
Chain shot (CHS)
Spear shot (SS)
Pulse shot (PS)
Swing shot (SWS)

My Cousin “Poolkillers”, invented the Ram Shot.

He also revived pool back in the 1960’s with his book,
“A Beginner's Guide to Playing 8 Ball” and his infamous Ram Shot.

Tom Cruise used a Joss which was falsely portrayed in the movie as a Balabushka.

If you did that in a tournament other players might complain you are distracting them but since you would likely be in your chair 90% of the time I doubt it would be much of a problem.

Click on their name in any of their posts
-- click on "View Public Profile"
---- click on "User Lists" (a little hard to find this one)
------ click on "Add to Ignore List"
-------- say "yes" to the question "Are you sure?"

Bob <-- had to figure it out after not having used it for ten years
