Billiards - Well worth a watch!

[100-uper]

This is actually not correct as the opponent was Christian Kirk.

Yes, sorry. Transcription error

Just awesome.

He makes it look so easy with the cannon pot cannon. Looks easy on the video but something I struggle like mad with as still learning billiards.

Nice rhythm.

Watched the final of the IBSF World Billiards Championships 2015 150up last night. Great to watch. If you missed it check out:

I won't give away who won. Enjoy!

Thanks for that Mythman69, very enjoyable. .

There seemed to be no kicks at all during that.

Is the ammount of cueball cleaning during in-offs enough to account for this, or is there any other reason ?

Not sure. If I knew the answer to no more kicks, I would tell you.

Indeed thanks for sharing the link. Nice video production!

Concerning the kicks - usually one gets the odd kick as well (and as always at the worst time imaginable)
but there is a theory saying there are less kicks because playing from hand a bit of grease transfers from the hand to the ball.

I personally also prefer playing billiards with unpolished balls as they throw more naturally. (remember the outcry of some snooker players when world snooker did a test run with freshly polished balls? It was also mostly about the cueball throwing differently)

Very impressive indeed!! How long does it took?

[Cuedos]

Even chalked his cue at the very end after it was all over - just in case he needed to play another canon on the way out !
