New Video: Judd Trump Black To Yellow

[tedisbill]

Hi everyone!

Judd once again played a great black to yellow exhibition shot this week in the World Grand Prix. It was played in the last frame in his match against Mark Selby.

In the video I explain how the shot is played, and then play the shot myself.

If you enjoy the video, please consider sharing, giving it a like, and subscribing to the channel

Ha! Thanks a lot!


NOTE:
Just want to say about that shot, I say it checks up off the baulk cushion... It doesn't actually, it's just all the side has run out and it just comes off at the natural angle by then, instead of going towards the yellow. So it's not actually checking, there's just no side left on the cue-ball.

No, I haven't. As I started so late (27 years old), it is just too late for me to now get to the level of consistency required for the main tour (I'm 35 now in 2 weeks).

That's the main reason I have gone down the coaching route. I love the game, and if I can help other people get more enjoyment from their own game, then that's great.

Well it's to our advantage your on here Stevie great videos you always do and was going to ask after I saw your half black and white cue ball was I was looking to get a cue ball for testing but would i be better buying SPOTED red one or half black and white one cause on pure white doesn't show up your massive flaw on hitting with unwanted side

Quality shot, well played. I'm going to do my own series of shots the pros play, starting with Barry Hawkins' final shot in his match with Trump last night

I think the spotted one will be ok for showing when you're getting unwanted side on. I actually made that one I use in my video myself. I couldn't find a half black and white one to buy, so I coloured in half my old white ball with permanent marker

Graeme Dott did an interview recently and he sometimes uses a spotted white ball to check for unwanted side.
He said something like in matches he plays basically every shot with some sort of side. He uses the spotted white in practice to try to find the center of the white
but he only really wants to know center so that he then knows where slightly left or right is.

Superb timing!

Just tried this. Can't get the slide. I seem to cannon the pink almost every single time. Tried with less screw, more power. Nope.
Tried with no balls, just the black and the cue ball. In-off into the middle then. After about 15 tries or so I gave up. My cue ball trajectory was not even close.
Fun experiment nevertheless, letting the arm loose like that.

Next time you have a go, try maximum screw, more power. So you want as much backspin as you can generate, then hitting it hard will make the white go fowards a bit before all that backspin has time to grip. Make sure also to get the left hand side on. This will also make it easier to miss the pink!

Great videos, great recreation of Judd’s shot and an excellent style of presenting too
Good work Steve

BTW what does “tedisbill” refer to, if that’s okay to ask?

Thank you!

It was just a silly username I came up with years ago when I worked on site. Everyone seemed to be called either Ted or Bill at this one particular job... And so out came the silly name "TedisBill". I first used it as a online name 15 years ago.
