Calling it art is like calling it a sport: Worthy of a lulz.
It's great fun to play, no doubt there. Requires a shitload of skill too. But it's not an art nor a sport, it's just something you do over a few beers, like playing cards :D
I don't play over a few beers or cigarettes. It's like a puzzle, something to be solved. Formal atmosphere.
Even just the stroke and followthrough on the break shot is an art itself. There are so many minute details in its working. Not caring about it and ignoring it doesn't make it not art.
"lulz"
Get that shit back in its place please. It was tolerable when I was browsing 5 years ago, but fuck. Every person overuses the shit. Just like what happened to YouTube. I liked it 3 years ago.
Ah, so you're the elitist kind who likes things that are unpopular but hates them once they're popular.
I guess for each his own. For me billiards is nothing but something fun to play with friends over a few beers. What I was originally aiming at (albeit in a tad harsh manner) is that taking games like this too seriously can ruin the fun of it.
If it's only fun for you if taken seriously then I guess I was wrong to begin with.
ps check the angle of his arm as soon as the break starts. its at 90° from start to finish. He uses his shoulder muscle wich is much more powerfull then the biscepts. Also his body movement, hip twisting + weight shifting, shows clearly that he uses his body to put the weight in the stroke. his timing is perfect! the only thing that i dont like, is he slaming his cue on the rail in the vertical down movement.... poor table, poor cue
its the best way to get power (or speed in this case) without losing accuracy . It alows you to slowly and accuratly increase speed without your tip moving forward. After the vertical movement, you can still keep your cue level (the butt of the cue is on the rail at impact) and folow through correctly. Simply stated it gives you double the time to reach to max speed, compared to a purely horizontal stroke. The more time you get, the less jurky the movement is. This break is a piece of art
I disagree with his brake... As you can see he lifts the back of his cue up and then back down. If you are learning how to brake hard try to keep your cue more level, especially when your cue ball is cumming off the table when you brake hard. Oh and use your body and a good follow through.

It's still not an art though :p
