The Incredible Cut Shot-3x in a row!

[LastTwo]

Well, then, Gremlin, let's do the math, and I'll use your three out of a hundred to compute the probabilities.

Odds of making this shot on your first three tries: 37,036 to 1

Odds of making this shot three times in a row during any given 25 attempts: 1,481 to 1

Odds of making this shot three times in a row during any given 100 attempts: 370 to 1

Odds of making this shot three times in a row during any given 2,000 attempts: 36 to 1

Guess if you try it enough times, it could happen. I believe LastTwo on this one.

Nonetheless, you make a great point. Unless there is a position in some pool discipline from which this shot would be a sensible choice, why practice it? Having said that, though, I must concede that I have, on occasion, been known to fiddle around with shots that have little or no application in actual play. Still, I try my best to avoid it.

The shot is a little different than I set up on the WEI table. Line up the cue ball's right edge to the object ball's left edge, and that's the shot. Bob Jewett was right about my memory being wrong. Anyways, I wasn't practicing the shot, I was hitting balls around at 2 am, with some friends watching me. The shot was there, and I made it. Someone asked me to do it again, and I did it again, and then a third time.

Now, about 90 degree cut shots, people say they are impossible, some pros say they are possible. What gives?

I don't believe you last two. That's why I am putting you on my ignore list. Maybe last two you should have titled this thread the "Magic Kingdom"

Oh, I play pool for fun and recreation. Money really means nothing as pool is my hobby.

Cheers,

Gremlin, I don't believe you either. I have been very well informed that your fun and recreation is stalking the WPBA players.

Gremlin is angry with me because I pointed out in one of the threads that Gremlin said Rude Dog was gonna go "2 and out" in the US open. After Rude Dog BARBECUED one of his opponents, Gremlin acted like he never said anything like that and started kissing Rude's ass. It was very satisfying for me that Rude Dog showed Gremlin that he is capable of beating anyone. Gremlin sure does hate male pool players, it's pretty sad.
