YOUR 'AVIN A LAUGH!!!

[s80]

how does the red @ 1:51 not drop and the pink @ 2:20 does? the red was much closer to the rail right before the pocket.

[MAVERICK1SASR]

the pink dropped because that shot only works on tables with steel vac cushions but not on block rubber cushion tables

[anthony90123]

@s80 it was the pace which made the red didnt drop :)

in these tight angle the more the pace, the more difficult to get in :)

the pink was not as pacy as the red, u can try out yourself on a snooker table

Bourne theme song?Kinda fits in here. :D

check out 3:46, Steve Davis' mohawk hair in the begining of the interview against the wall, lmao

[pistolpeeroy]

shut up mate, have a think n that yeah...there made out of latex rubber so in order for them to widen or mis-shape would mean years of pounding...like ur sweaty ugly stankin whore of a mom. cunt

@s80 that happened because most players are right handed, and play the black balls from the right side of the table. One thing you got to make sure in potting the black is missing the left jaw (playing from the right side of the table that is). And what happens is that, after 3, 4 days of matches the right jaw has received a lot of blacks, and the pocket is automatic widen up. At least I think thats the reason... xD

In American Pool pockets are horseshoes and proximity to rail is paramount, as the facing rail is avoided (only the 'cupping' interior of the pocket will contact ball). Snooker pots are tulips, so every rail-shot contacts the facing rail no matter proximity to the glued rail. The rebound(s) from these rails decide the pot and are determined by proximity + speed equally. Even good snooker players lose sight of this, as speed is largely unconscious, and proximity obvious.

@blindaz2eye Moby-extreme ways

they were two different pockets. the red was on the bottom right while the pink was on the bottom left.which might explain why the red didn't go in :)
