Who has the most interesting, unique, or exaggerated pre shot routine's in pool?

His name is Ryan Jones, Frederick, Maryland. His pre-shot routine is, well, ... you can't tell whether he's lining up for a shot, or trying to flap his wings to fly.
 
Mine is pretty unique. Most people remember me for it. Sorry don't have a video handy.

Yea, the only strange thing I saw was slow play. Watched almost 15 minutes and saw part of 1 rack. Ugh.

Is that the kid Geese took under his wing years ago? I think I know who you're talking about, good example.

I miss Danny and wish he'd come back and turn the 9-ball world upside down.

He's a good person, with a great big heart.

He's still around. He was in my room in the Philly suburbs about 6 months ago giving a lesson.

That guy is a freak. Watching him play makes me want to yell or throw things at him.

That said...and since i know a dr.: he must have asperger's, to some degree.

I don't think so, Geese died quite a while ago, and Ryan is still on the young side. Pretty good shooter, Ryan, but if you watch him play, you won't believe his histrionics at the table.

All the best,

I saw Rafael Martinez take 34 practice strokes before breaking the balls in a game of 8 ball at the BCAPL's in Vegas.

Yes, I was counting and let out a little snort of laughter when he passed 25.

Anyone who's seen him chalk his tip between shots won't be entirely surprised.

He and another Ryan that used to live in the area were the parties guilty of one of the worst tourney pool screwings I ever got.

Ring game tournament, a few tables going concurrently. The 3 of us were the only ones likely to run a rack or 3. We are all on the same table and people are starting to bust out, to the point where they have like 12 people split by 3 tables. I ask the td if he plans to redraw and shuffle the players. I look ove at the Ryans as I ask and they have a quick pow-wow,then one speaks up an says no, to the redraw.Their home room, no redraw.

Gets to where we are the 3 on our table. I never seen so many banks slow rolled at a pocket with CB in the middle of the table in my life.

I get knocked out and they split 1st and second places.
 
Francisco Bustmante is the weirdest stroke I ever saw. Somehow he makes it work. I'm a fundamentals guy. I take it from years of shooting an M16 for the Army. Try to reproduce the same sight picture when shooting for consistency. Same on a pool table. the more consistent you can make the situation the better chance you have of making the ball and shape. IMO
