here is the situation, i'm playing kelly fisher at the world 8-ball open,so far everyone i played as you well now know i had scored lousy against,by the time i was playing kelly i was well, ~~pissed. anyhow, she put me on two fouls,and told me so, as did the ref. she really smothered me good! like i say, i was in no mood to lose with the three foul in a row rule, i wanted to come out of this incredible snooker she laid down. almost like when a mother finds stength to save her baby from a speeding train, i needed special powers,to make a legal hit. the cue ball was half way in between the corner pocket and the diamond on the short cushion. and the cue ball had say half an inch at best away from the short cushion, meanwhile her solid, (the one ball) was frozen smothered and snookered up flush against my cue ball. the 13 ball was down table and on the other side! all escape paths wer'e shut off!,so i used my creative brain, which i got from watching people like ira lee at carom cafe in flushing ny, and i said, to myself,"suppose i put my right ass cheek on the corner pocket,(near my cue ball) and mass''e almost vertically downward with right side spin?" i looked it over and felt right, the ref was so close he was breathing ontop of me, kelly fisher thought for sure, there was no way out, and that would be game over, and i hit downard with a glancing blow, the cue ball hit violently into the immidiate cushion, swerved from the right side spin, hit the cushion above the side pocket, contacted the 13 ball, and then the cue contacted a cushion, and with a glazed stunned look in his eyes and a soft,dazed tone the ref turned to kelly and said softly and mystified~~~"good" i felt great, even though i scored lousy at these tournaments, that one shot was divine! kelly said nothing and continued to whip my ass, an eventual 8-0 i think, anyhow, i didn't care, i pulled off that great escape!, later that evening the refs wer'e sitting around describing the great shots they had witnessed and gibby who was the ref that witnessed my shot said, "that was the best shot of the tournament" he went on to say , not only was the shot unbelievable, but how you ever hit it clean, with almost no room, was amazing" i felt great again. granted this was only the second day of the tournament, but still, WHAT A SHOT! p.s. i feel i have the right to brag, since i admitted, my overall results in the tournament, sucked,thank you, the end,Bernie.
"the Best Shot Of The Tournament"
- Thread starter 8-ball bernie
- Start date
no, "nice going" or "good for you" geez guys, insults come fast and furious, but a small compliment? noooooo,oh well, i enjoyed the shot.
cool, bernie do you know the best rack of the tournament? i saw some videos on youtube but i don't know i get bored... it seems like they are all the same.
Great shoot.
Nice shot Bernie. I'm starting to like your attitude about things in general. It takes character to expose ones self to the 'never been there baracuda's' that dwell here. You know the ones I'm talking about...LOL......just having the confidence in your ability to hit a shot like this while being buried in a match is an accomplishment...
You've got one thing going for you that 99.9% of the posters here will never have and that is the experience of 'doing it'. Whether the IPT falters or flourish'es you can always say "I was there, I did it"......
I like your outlook on life Bernie....have a good day.....

I Think The Bets Shot Of The Tourney Was When Efren Made The Last 8 Ball To Win 500k......can You Imagine Having One Shot For That Much Money
Why Not Give The Guy Some Credit....he Seems To Very Proud Of The Shot And All Of You Wanna Bash Him For Sharing A Story With You...i Have To Say I Dont Agree With What Bernie Says Alot And He Gets Him Self In The Bashing On His Own....but Come On Give The Guy Some Credit.....if Efren Would Have Posted That Same Post You All Would Have Congratulated Him...
Nice Shot Bernie They Cant Take Away The Memories....at Least You Can Say You Were Playing On The Ipt Thats Alot More Then Most Of Us Can Say....
