haha, judge for yourself... no edits

Pretty bloody good that Pottr, looked down around the pink spot on the second one, is that right?, cue ball doesn't half waz off the second Cush with the side on it.

think I did it? vid uploading... not sure.

window has been open all day, cloth feels heavy

How did we start discussing plants? Totally different cause.

Because you think that the only way to pot a ball is if you hit the BOB. We all know that plants can be made if they aren't lined up with the pocket and not touching the BOB

ok... let me see if I can position my phone and do it.

that one where you slam a baulk colour in the middle hit down at 7 o clock on the white screwing with side off the top cushion and side rail back down to the middle of table in between blue and pink area

which shot do we want to see?

[Byrom]

I would love to see you do the shot on the baulk colours into the middle with screw/side, but I won't hold my breath

This is a wee bit insulting - Terry has represented his country and made century breaks - and anyone who can do that knows how to use side travis and I am sure he can play it - the shot you mean is a hard one takes a lot of timing and is a 5 -6 out of 10 shot perhaps less due to the pace you gotta play it at....looks good when it comes off - Robertson/Drago/white/Lee are particularly good at this shot.

I was puzzled by your earlier comment about pool balls- let me assure you they throw all over the place - you cannot play pool to a decent standard without knowing this. I agree it's pretty pointless using them on a snooker table, however.

Incidentally, much to my surprise, you can get large amounts of throw on English pool tables, which i didn't think possible due to the smaller CB.

in your game what do you believe is throwing all over the place the cb,or ob ?

[Hello, Mr Big Shot]

that is maybe because a smaller white would not just hit the belt of the white at the same spot as equal size balls. Perhaps a little more of the smaller white hits the larger OB lower down adding a bit more friction?

Very possibly. I'll have a search if i can be bothered - i think i remember the good doctor covering CB weights and sizes before.

Who hates side? I hope you're not pointing at me as I use it all the time and I do know how to swerve around an intervening ball, and masse, and reverse side off the black or red to get to blue and gee I've even done those shots the pros were doing on baulk colours into the middle, although not as consistently I suspect.

[Hello, Mr Big Shot]

Hit the white onto the object ball... Put the object ball in the pocket.

Rinse and repeat, always repeat...

Good thread through, some very funny insults back and forth x

Talking of people who think they've had a ten pack in pool...
