Well, here we go again! I've decided that it's time to put together another SloMo pool video, so I wanted to ask all my fellow pool players and friends which shots you'd like to see.
These requests can be a topic of recent discussion, something you're trying to understand, or simply a cool-looking shot that would rock in SloMo. I'll also consider equipment-related shots (template racks, etc), as long as I can gain access to such equipment.
Some types of shots are better suited to SloMo video than others, so I'll be focusing on the ideas and shots that I think would look the coolest, and/or would provide us with the best information.
For reference, here is a link to the first AZB Users' Slow Motion (AUSM) video:

And here is the AZB thread about the various shots in that video:

So, let's hear it! What do you want to see in episode 2 of the AUSM SloMo pool video series?
-------------------------------
Current list of requests:
-------------------------------
Shots I will try to film:
Equator shot
Force OB through pocket points (side and corner pockets)
14.1 shots: look dead but aren't / look off but are on
Bank with OB close to rail (looks like unavoidable double kiss)
Tip contact time vs elbow drop (none/before/after)
Cue ball climbing the rail and leaving table from too much follow
Shane's double-bridge jump shot
Pros' final stroke (distance, angle, elevation)
Vernon Elliot's reverse spot shot (OB reaction)
1P bank with OB near pocket point (looks impossible)
Jumping with LD cue (shallow and acute elevations) - multiple cameras
Extreme English (miscue limit) 1000fps+ (soft, hard, short, tall tips)
Amount of deflection on force follow shots
Wing ball closeups
LD Shaft deflecting off of CB with extreme draw and follow
Long shots showing deflection and swerve
LD vs Maple deflection (show in real time also to gauge speed)
30* cut shots with various English
Break - 9 on spot (1 in side / wing ball)
Break - 10-ball (make second ball)
Break - 8-ball (8 kicked into side pocket)
Jump shots with follow
Shots that probably won't make the cut:
Opponent's face on 9-ball slop shot to close out big-$ set
Contact comparison with different tips on same cue
Side swoop stroke (leaves the bridge)
Charlie Williams lining up a shot
Shanelle Lorraine breaking
Johnny Archer shooting
