@KoivuTheHab Push shots are hard to judge. There is always going to be an X amount of time the tip is in contact with the cue ball. Slow down every shot ever made by enough, it will look like a push. Push shots are hard to judge because there's some magical time where if the cue tip stays in contact with the cue ball longer than that time, it is a push.

Just like Ac3Saint said also, the only way to get good spin on the ball is to accelerate/push through the cue ball.

Never a push shot lol, are you guys blind? Any shot in slow motion looks like this - the whole point of how they get so much power and movement on the ball is pushing right through it on contact - for it to be a push shot it would need to CLEARLY lose contact with the cueball then make contact a second time.

I think that was a push shot

[KoivuTheHab]

Does anyone else see a push shot here? I think it looks rather suspicious...

@stouter2386 But it's also 100x easier on a pool ball.

[eligag1984]

depends where the pink is, where the white is and where the brown is and stuff obviously.

[earlysunsets2]

when potting the pink, how easy is it to deep screw without kissing the brown and avoid leaving the white on the cushion?

[TheDerekdub]

Yes, well the deep screw was coined in debbie does dallas i think

[stouter2386]

thats one of the few things 9 ball players have over snooker players....
