Your favorite "stroke" shot

[Cardigan Kid]

Now we're talking! I love the stroke shots.

Yours in the video is one I like. I don't have a favorite, but basically like any shot that moves the CB considerably, especially when it takes CB spin to alter the route.

I made this video of 24 stroke shots about 8 years ago. They aren't my favorites, as they mainly go to scratch routes, but adaptations to these form the basis of many shots I love to play.

That is some sweet juice on that cue ball, Colin.
Nice video!

Here is one I like to do, near straight in, using inside english almost to the miscue limit.

Really, there just isn't much else better in life than standing at the end of your own gold crown ball return and firing shots in with perfect English to return the cue to you, and you reach down grab another object ball, and repeat.

You captured that in your video. Well done.

no ofense but if you really like to juice de cueball, you should develop a waaaay higher quality stroke. You hit the ball too hard and not as far to the center as you may think...

you can try for example this shot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEAk8o8O-44

My favorite shot is the stop shot........when properly executed, it's like simply connecting the dots on a mapped table runout.......bam........bam.......bam.........bam.......nice smooth strokes where the cue ball stops like it had Velcro......the coolest shot is the table length draw for position which so many players overstroke.....but my personal favorite shot remains the stop shot.

Here's another I like: isn't always fun to pocket a ball in the side at an angle and just see how much running english you can put on it? I love that!

hey I wasn't intending to offend you :shrug: , it was just an observation about your stroke... but looks like you don't like to be critized.

post a video of your stroke then

That one from Justin Hall is just sick, that entire rack was beautiful

Hey Colin,

Are you trying on a mobile?

Had some problems accessing the video on mobiles before. Dunno why.

Try this version I color corrected which had the audio deleted by tyrants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EyFbfvRmY8
