    • 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?

  • I play on English tables all the time ,a lot of these shots wouldn't work because the pockets are far tighter. The center pockets on American tables are over an inch and a half bigger and the other pockets are over an inch bigger and the balls are only quarter of an inch bigger. I've played on American tables and they are a lot easier to pot a ball on.

    • I just did this in a tourney yesterday with the 8 ball less than 90° frozen to the rail and the cueball about 2" from the head rail near the corner pocket!! Sank it beautifully, But then sadly scratched in the corner pocket where the cue ball was near. 😥 everyone was hooping and hollering and then groaning when the CB scratched. Twas one hell of a shot! And I thank you Dr. Dave and your videos for teaching me so much! As one of the very few female shooters around here, it's a great feeling to hold your own, keep them in their toes, and give them a challenge!

    • @theayatoll in billiards, we call that 'cue ball control'. An amateur player shoots just to make a shot and hopes they make it, but a great player sees 4 or more shots ahead and uses cue ball control to get the cue ball exactly where he wants for those shots. A great player makes easy shots because they put the cue ball exactly where they want to make an easy shots.

  • Yeah, I practice the beyond 90 frozen shot every now and again, and it is less difficult than one would think, at least if you practice it every now and again. And when the cue to object ball distance is much shorter it is that much easier. At some positions you really have to watch for the scratch, though, so it's good to know those. Great shots, I didn't know a few of these.

  • 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

    @stronbium@stronbium2 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.

So, what if you have the opponent or referee watch you place the cueball and you successfully leave a hair- or paper-thin space? Does being frozen make a difference vs. such a gap? It seems like the space could cause as little error as striking a frozen cueball very slightly off-center.

Opponent get two shots if you scratch and two shots if you don't hit your ball, and two shots if you sink one of their balls. Also, the 8 ball has to go into the pocket where your last ball drops. You ever hear of such a thing? Pool in Bizarro world.
