Back in the day, I would be able to just draw across 1 rail for position. Medium soft speed on these New tables/cloth.
It’s a variation of that shot. I practice it a lot. It’s a #15.This is what I thought he would play, depending exactly how thin he was on the 7 for what angle he'd get on the 8. It's hard to tell from this camera angle. He did NOT play this, or any shot mentioned thus far.

what alphadog said
not a 3cushion shot per say
That shot is a breaker of men.Edit: Don’t mean to minimize it. You are ABSO-lutely right. Heckuva shot and heckuva stroke!
Is this a trick question?View attachment 730943
How do you get on the 8 from here?
But… but… your usernamePlay the ball in the top left and the ball goes naturally toward the 8
He shot the 7 straight in, but what he did with the CB I've never really seen outside of 3 cushion billiards. I'll link the video in a bit. It was completely unexpected to me.
That is a bad money bet (or hats if you prefer) if you are including 7' tables, thats pretty common on 7' Diamonds because its hard to slow the cue ball down.I’ll make a bet with everyone in this thread, we won’t see this shot again in all of 2024 on a livestream. I know you will all remember itIf you see it on a stream, link it back here, and I’ll eat my hat.
Fair point…. rollthecueball just doesn't have the same ring to itBut… but… your username
He’s super aggressive, just like Raphael Martinez. He’s fast and fun to watch. He’s been playing in all the MR produced and MR satellite events the past couple of years. Def a player to root for.I dont know much about this kid...he looks like a young rafael martinez, so is this his kid?
That shot I would not be surprised to see from rafael..he liked to make the cue ball dance.
