Wrap Up [17:05]
---- shot montage [17:45]
CORRECTION (sorry for my carelessness):
- shot 9 (at the 12m30s point): If you pocket the 9-ball on a foul shot, you don't lose the game. The 9-ball spots and your opponent gets ball in hand. Also, if you look at the recreated shot frame-by-frame, you will see I hit the 9 first, which is a foul.
- BONUS SHOT (at the 15m51s point): In addition to Efren having a bag on his shoulder, he also had a sandwich wrapper in his shooting hand. I neglected to include the wrapper. Sorry. :(

Dr. Dave, you clearly have the most scientific knowledge about pool and more importantly are able to explain it to others using words. How much science do you believe the pool greats use and how much is purely intuition. Do you think the top players run these calculations to get the job done or do their minds work differently. I’m curious if you have gotten the chance to ask this to any of your top players?
@DrDaveBilliards 3 жыл бұрын
Most top players aim everything by feel using their strong intuition built up by countless hours of successful practice and experience. Nothing can beat that. However, even some pros use systems at times. SVB, Chris Melling, and Ralph Eckert are good examples. I often see them measuring out a tough kick or bank shot.

@DrDaveBilliards 3 жыл бұрын
I've heard people suggest this before; but when I look at Corey's shot, it seems clear to me (based on the CB reaction off the cushion and the sidespin clearly visible near the end of the shot) that he had a touch of outside (right) with the massive amount of backspin. The real trick is to have really slick conditions like Corey faced on that table.

Hi, What a great vid. You have a new subscriber, but I do have a question. In your opinion do these pro players get these shots first time because they play similar shots regularly and these are just a shot type in their arsenal or are their pool/snooker brains able to calculate all the variables even if they have never played a similar shot before? Going to look for your other top tens now.

Dave, I also have an Olhausen pool table and find that medium hard shots down the rail to a corner pocket will rattle the pocket and not drop. It’s pocket speed only. After you mentioned this in this video, I looked carefully at the construction and found both sides of the cushion as hard as rock. Doesn’t feel like a cushion at all. Do they manufacture their tables with shims or some kind harder rubber than cushion material ? Does your table play like this all the time?
@DrDaveBilliards 3 жыл бұрын
All tables have pocket “facings.” What makes the pockets rattle are the facing angles and deep shelf. For more info, see: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/table/tdf/

On the Duel draw shot, couldn't you also put in some right English to effectively straighten an even more right cheated pocket, to get a bit more of the cross table travel component? I realize this adds a whole additional level of difficulty, but assuming you could pull it all off, wouldn't it help? And Corey actually pulled across even MORE than necessary to rail first the final object ball. The Ouschan shot looked easier to me than it turned out to be...though the error margin was certainly tight on return. I didn't think you have that much trouble getting back to the cushion with the cue, though. Bit of a surprise. SVBs shot is just plain INSANE. I would probably take all day (min) to get one of those to drop. Amazing, but then, he's SVB. The fact that he called it beforehand is GOLD because I don't think most people would have believed that was the plan, even as contingent. A JEWEL of a fin, pinnacle highlight reel stuff. If I were his opponent I'd be forced to clap and congratulate on that one even if it was the match winning shot. He also got REALLY fortunate on the cue ball roll out., hitting the side point I think even I could complete the Higgin's shot in not too many tries, but I will try it and see. I agree, totally out of place given the other shots included. Cool shot, hilite reel worthy for the day sure, but not remotely 9-10 level difficulty of the rest. The shot before it, another 'holy crap', surprised you came as close to completing it as you did, in that many tries. That was CLOSE! Efren doesn't even put the damned bag down, GOOD GRIEF. His cue was VERY close to scratching, too. But since he's Efren, it wouldn't DARE!
@DrDaveBilliards 3 жыл бұрын
I think using sidespin on an highly-elevated, full-table-length power draw shot is much too risky; but if you could pull it off, the swerve could definitely create a bigger cut angle, helping both with the draw (with the right spin on the cushion) and cross-table motion. Thanks for comments.
