Thorsten GoPro video

Whoever this guy is, people better watch out. It looks like he has what it takes to make it on the pro tour.
 
very cool video, that drill run in order like that is HARD, one question though, does that music come with the gopro?? it makes me wanna jump off the walls.:D

Tks. Thats interesting. He obviously using at least a tip of outside english on all those shots - seems tougher for me to pocket balls that way. I going to try it

He's using the english that the position calls for. You'll notice he uses inside on a few of the shots, too, when he needs to get back in line using 2 rails.

I played a set of 9-ball with Oscar Dominguez recently. He used a fck-ton of English to get around the table. In my observation, pros are hitting off the vertical axis at least 75% of the time.

As it happens, outside English is far more commonly needed to get back to center-table in rotation games, or drills of this sort. My make percentage is higher with a little outside, or "helping" english, either because I'm more used to using it, or I get fewer skids or throw from dirty balls or chalk spots on clean balls - can't really tell which at this point, but the reason doesn't matter.

I'd love to see CJ do that drill with a GoPro using only TOI.
 
Yep...

Pretty much all that's left to need to happen is for a pro tour to be created...:eek::grin-square::confused::eek::smile::cool:

Unlike CJ with his TOI, it looks like Toastie uses TOOL on most of his shots (Touch Of Outside Low). I think he only used low inside on two shots and follow on the last one. I saw a match with Buddy Hall commentating and he said low and outside is the first shot to learn.

Nice POV for instructional purposes because where he hits the CB is pretty obvious.
 
Physical rotation.

I noticed that he approached every shot by sweeping from the outside into CCB. He did not come down straight into the CB. The spin he used was usually only 1/2 tip.
 
Pretty impressive. I think it's very cool when pro's share stuff like this, so we can really see how they play and think.
 
The camera does not move at all when he's down on the shot.
And that ghost ball system Ralph Eckert teaches him must work.
