      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?

      Wouldn't the bonus shot be illegal under APA rules since you cannot touch an object ball with the cue ball during ball in hand? And if you can't touch another ball, then you can't make it frozen.

      @Chrissydarlin82 2 года назад

      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!

    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.

      @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.

    Shot #3, the ticky, is an often overlooked option. I have had good luck using english opposite from the rail (center ball right english, in the example shown). It seems to help the object ball spin into the pocket.

    • @DrDaveBilliards
      @DrDaveBilliards  2 года назад +1

    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.

    Thanks for the vid. I'm playing in Argentina and they got some really funky rules here. 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.

    suggestion for the final shot of frozen balls. you should be able to put CB in the kitchen (if playing one pocket) 1 diamond from the side rail and aim at the 11 as if the 13 isn't there with medium-medium full power the 11 should go 2 rails into the corner :)

Im shocked at how ridiculous the spins are to make because sometimes hitting it hard it will not draw at all... Made the tip more round and works just a bit more but I think pros play with smaller tip and plays way better isnt it?

      I've played only a couple of times when I visited England about 20 years ago. Many 8-ball shots I show in my videos also apply to English 8-ball. Certainly, all principles like CB control and pattern play apply equally. What rule differences do you think would create opportunities for radically different shot choices?
