The Art of Sharking

The best sharking is like the best hustle....its when your opponent doesn't notice he or she is being sharked.

If its done well, they may not be sure it even happened.

Just saying.
 
I think that MOST people/players dont even know there doing it.
Alot of what we are saying may/maynot constitute a "shark" move and may just be one persons way of handling pressure....i.e. whistling...tip shaping and towling the shaft every inning while YOUr at the table in front of the pocket....says good shot on shots that werent that special....or just bad table habits.....i.e. grabs the chalk off the table .......side rail banter.
Its the subtle shark moves that experienced players know and know what to look for. Everyone has a button and some less unethical players will spend from minutes to years trying to find it cause once they do....it may be the edge.
The shark move is as old as pool itself....personally i dont shark (intentionally) and im as mindfull and considerate towards them as i would expect out of my opponent.
Also I dont get verbaly sharked short of yelling in my ear a foot away but can get a lil disturbed by just bad basic table etiquete.:mad:
When im playing a trash talking ball buster i actually enjoy the banter between shots....:p
 
On a little more serious note.

You can't be "sharked" unless you want to be.
