Sick double jump

There you go Doctor Dave! How many attempts will it take you?
Completely agree with you.........
I was about to say why do some people (I feel mostly young peeps) feel that jumping balls and short cues are impressive. I never understood the clapping with a pro or whoever for that matter uses a shorty. I never in my life clapped or felt impressed when I saw a guy using a short-cue and making a ball, to me its an easy way out.
Why is it that old farts are always whining about jump cues? Lol

You say towmato. I say tomatoe.. I see your point it goes both ways. But I am old school and stuck pleasantly in the past!! Lol!!
...and when you get to be an 'old fart' you'll be complaining about kids using laser sights and pneumatic powered cues.
I'll be 56 this summer. I think I already qualify!

Just a question, how do we know that it was intentional, not intended as a normal jump that ended up landing early then bouncing again? Did he announce before he did it that he intended it to do that?
I ask because I showed this to a friend and it was his reaction. I honestly couldn’t say he 100% intended it because I didn’t 100% know he did.

That's incredible. Amazing to just hit the ball one the first try... then in a tournament... and MAKE it.
Unreal.

Did you watch the video? He lined up and pointed to exactly where the ball was going to bounce for the 2nd hop. The commentators knew what he was going to do...how could you doubt that was not exactly what he was trying to do?
I mean if you can't say he "100% intended" to do that, what other possible shot do you think he could have tried there?
I generally agree with your posts, so with this being an exception I thought I'd respond.
I'm indifferent to jump specific cues. Much like I don't care if a player uses a dedicated breaker with extra weight and a stone taped to the end. ...Or a cue extension so they don't have to gain proficiency with a mechanical bridge. The way I see it. There's usually no rule about jumping, and using something as short and light as a dedicated jumper greatly lowers the risk of damaging the cloth. I gringe when I see someone jack up with a player in hopes of jumping a ball.
So with that said. I don't measure the quality of a shot based on the equipment used. If Jesus performed the same shot with his player. I wouldn't be anymore impressed.
I can say I've never clapped after a guy successfully performed a lack luster safe shot. Freeze up to a blocking ball and you have my attention.
It's unfortunate people knock jump cues as the 'easy way out', but completely ignore the fact that the jump is on because the player before mailed in his effort at the safe.

The video I saw didn’t show that, thanks I’ll check it out.
That's nice. That means in a no stress environment, you got it on your 5th or 6th attempt after figuring out what equipment to use. It also means you accomplished this from about 2' closer, without controlling your cueball. What exactly did you accomplish with this video?Not as impressive as I didnt put a draw on cueball but I guess this will doI wanted to try the shot when I saw it yesterday, after 4-5 failed attempts with full cue (my jumps were too low to clear the second ball) I unscrewed the end of butt on my Propel and the shot went in on the first try
If that's what you were posting congrats. You quoted my post and made it sound like it was easily accomplished so in my eyes I thought you were trying to fuel the "anyone can do it" rhetoric...for that I apologize. This is still a place that will encourage people, I think it was just misapplied quoting based on the conversation that was happening.There was a time people here actually encouraged improvement and had fun with vids like this. I guess times changed. Dont worry,i wont bother you anymore
Watch it again, Jesus pointed where he intended to land so that the cue ball had room to bounce over the second ball.

Looks like the 14 clipped the CB on the way back?
EDIT: And watching him in the banks video that premiered last night was definitely entertaining!
