According to what you discuss on the "ball-first hit" part starting around 5:12, I'd guesstimate about a 14% chance of scratching on this shot, even if the ball is pocketed successfully. Do you think that adding topspin or backspin might be a good idea to avoid a scratch more predictably, or would you recommend only honing in one's accuracy?

On the Frozen Proposition Shot, another solution was made many years ago - and which I have done quite a number of times. The cue ball is placed in-line with the #11 object ball, about six to 10 inches away. It is a simple jump shot. You just hop on top of the 11-ball; once you get the hang of the exact amount of angle and speed, it becomes one of those 'close your eyes and shoot' kind of shots.

Nice video, DrDave. I jus want to know a few things. At 9:36, this may not be likely to happen, but if there was external influence on the game-winning shot, like Demetrius catching the ball mid-air, mid-shot, what will the verdict of the shot be? Also, at 13:12, if this comes up in a game situation, however unlikely, under all balls / all fouls category, how do you think it's possible to freeze the cue ball to the 13 like that and to avoid the foul at the same time? Thanks

@DrDaveBilliards

2 жыл бұрын

At 9:36, if the shooter interfered with the CB (e.g., by catching it) before the shot is over (i.e., before all balls come to rest), then it would be a foul and loss of game (if playing 8-ball). At 13:12, I was clear in saying "you can put the CB anywhere" as part of the proposition. In an actual game situation, you are not allowed to touch an OB with the CB with "ball in hand." That would be a foul.

Cool

For the twice-as-full aiming system, is it halfway angle or halfway distance?

It is halfway the distance along the perpendicular to the target from the line through the balls. See the videos here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/frozen/aiming/

Yes. For more info, see: billiards.colostate.edu/resources/rules/rule-differences/ You are allowed to hit into a CB frozen to an OB, based on the info and videos here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/foul/frozen/

Awesome Dave I was watching Predator 8 Ball World Championship today and the player Mario He used shot one in this exact same scenario to play the eight and win. I thought the cue was going to go up table. Then Mario did this.

Top players know all the shots.

I keep trying the #10 shot and can't seem to make it. they are touching and im using inside spin but that opponent's ball always goes in while the black basically stays still. any suggestions to improve my attempts?

This shot requires a perfect hit. You need to hit the 8 and cushion at very close to the exact same time. For more info, see the dedicated "What Would You Do Here?" video series in this playlist: kzread.info/head/PLH9d4KFY28XseXlEzFOvomJvaX3uIx5sG Good luck!

That was excellent! My takeaway: When in doubt, use low inside English! Or, was it, when in doubt, hit the rail, first! Or, was it . . . In any event, thank you!

This video has tons of great "takeaways." It is probably best to practice and learn about each separately instead of trying to summarize all shots in the entire video (which are varied), which is not possible.

This video wasn't designed to be a "watch once and learn one thing" clip. Instead, it is a resource with lots of useful lessons to learn over time.

In the proposition shot example. I understand about pushing through a frozen ball but wouldn't it be illegal to freeze the cue to an object ball

Yes. See the follow-up video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kWt105euoMKucqw.html

regarding the 8 ball and the striped ball married on the cushion, this might be a stupid question but if you are shooting solids and sink the stripe before the 8 ball, is that not a foul?
