What a Shot! (Not the viral ones)

Truth be told if each of us that have played thousands of hours of pool were to have a camera running at all times we would see a highlight reel of amazing called shots beyond belief. It's a beautiful thing when a plan comes through on the pool table.
Doubly so when it comes through to win a set in a tournament you ultimately march through to snap off.
 
I was in a ring game once where those guys played call shot 10 ball but they called the 10 all the time in case it went.

To me if you play call shot 10 ball and you call the 10 then you should lose your turn if the 10 doesn't go.
lol... priceless. What's the point in 'call shot' if you can call how ever many balls you want and if any go it's legal...?
 
There is a good couple shot sequence in one of fast Lenny’s videos. It’s frost vs I believe Bernie P. Scott needs 1 and Bernie needs 3 and he is in the jaws of Scott’s hole and comes up with a crazy shot.

Edit I looked on his Channel but could not find the video. It was a one minute long highlight reel.
Preacher Ronn vs Scott Frost.
It's Ronn shooting.

I set that kick bank up and made it. A nit gambler wanted to have me shoot it for 50 a try,no odds!

The real funny thing is some of them were so focused on trying to carom the 10 that they weren't getting shape on the next ball. First time I played I got the cash. Went back next week and they froze me out. Didn't return after that. Came out ahead.
 
Like I said it's not a perfect solution but it is an interesting way to do it. Changes strategy a bit and reduces the "flyers" some.
I played some ring 9-ball and 10-ball in my day.....I wouldn’t play call shots....if you make it, it’s yours.
