No handed breaks too
In baseball a Golden Sombrero is when a batter strikes out four times in a game. Last night I achieved(?) something similar during a game of eight ball for the first time since the '90s (and come to think of it that may have been just a hat trick; see the link to the baseball definition).
It went like this - early in the game with a lot of balls left my only shot was a length of the table thin cut through traffic, with a couple opponent's balls in the way. I had maybe a 1/4" of the object ball to shoot for when I let it fly. The cue ball clipped one of their balls first for Foul #1. Foul #2 soon followed when another of their balls dropped into a pocket, followed quickly by the cue ball dropping in a different pocket for Foul #3.
The capper came during the aftermath with the eight ball rolling back toward the end of the table I had been shooting from and plopping slowly into a corner pocket for Foul #4, and the place went wild. When my playing days are over this will surely be the starting point of the bell curve of shots I've taken, ranked from worst to best.
So what's your worst shot ever? I'm sure there are plenty of threads on here about the best shots ever documented, but can you top mine for the worst shots of all time?
(Oh and back in the '90s I can't recall if I hit my ball first or the opponent's in case you're wondering.)
