Shot of the day

It's a delicate balance. On the one hand, you must always have an open mind for solutions that are not (yet) in your arsenal. It's like a vocabulary: you can't know too many words. One day, you're going to need that little-used one. Three-cushion solutions: same thing.

On the other hand, we play a percentage game. We need to make smart choices, pick solutions that work more often than the alternatives. If you see a video clip of a spectacular shot, you need to realize that the clip was posted in a forum or on social media, because the guy made it! It could still be a very low-percentage solution.

And then, as Blomdahl always stresses: there are different choices for different players. What works for player A may not work for player B, and vice-versa.
Find out what you are good at, and play it.
Find out what you suck at, and practice it.

I'm pretty sure now he wanted to go off the second around the table for the red in the corner and just missed the white ball
