You and me both.. I'd probably call someone out thinking they were trying to bottom jump which is illegal within Texas Express rules in a majority of nine-ball I've played but who am I..😕
@@tesha199 as well as it comes within a young age after so long your ability to really progress in this game comes to a halt not saying you cannot become a little better buy a ball or two but that's it
Nice Video. Would still be cool if you tried these shots beforehand "oldschool-style" without any help from the pros. I guess I like to see you fail, but eventually figure it out on your own :D
I hit a similar shot at a pool tournament immediately my friend who knows pool tells me thats some AP shot you just made it went in like a bullet the 9 ball in the corner pocket
Bucktooth did this against me on a 7ft bar table at the Valley Inn Sports Bar in Castro Valley , Ca.... I had no ideal what had happened untill someone with years more experience then me told me what happened at the time....I actually wasn't impressed because I didn't know that I witnessed a rarely attempted and even more rarely executed pool shot.... I later on was lucky to watch Jeff Pervis(another locally raised talent practice the trick shot version of the shot by pocketing an object ball place inside a triangle rack for the break.... Something he repeatedly did although I didn't try to gleam any info on that as I hadn't even began jumping over an edge of an ball will the cue at that point so I didn't want to take away my focus on the tournament match I was playing anyways... It was quite amazing to see this shot in that situation as compared to my 1st time.... something that happened in crowded loud atmosphere with no expectations of anything amazing about to unfurl or from my sitting position...a need for it as Bucktooth someone most of the players as well as the bar owner advised me to watch his greatness displayed before me... I didn't know much about billards... other then Willie Moscconi and Minnesota Fats... This was year 2000 and Bucktooth was in his prime in early 70's. Most, like me, never heard of him. The other great players did because gambling was where all the rewards were and can still be had even today though the venues if past are nearly all closed including the room Bucktooth had in Castro Valley, Ca ...
I was on the road with alex in 1997 and I actually hit this shot in the vnea championships. Only it was on the 8 ball and I had to jump over an opponent's ball ,land on the 8 and have the 8 jump over another ball 6 inches in front of it. Alex and I used to clip balls frozen on the back of balls to pocket them as well. This was even before jump cues existed. Alex was always a beast. We would go into any pool room and because we were only kids that didn't even look our age or old enough to be in a pool hall we always walked out with heavier pockets.
Please make a fail compilation of some of the greatest of all time players like Alex. It is scary how these players think about shots a normal person wouldn't even dream about. 😂
Wow. Been playing forever on and off and never knew, even a pro could make that shot so many times in a row. Kudos for you for making in on 6th time. Impressive. Got a try next time I play.
1:05 With a one-pocket two rail bank and a well practiced victory dance after you sink that eight ball as your opponent missed it because they were sipping at their beer can like it was fancy or something.
When I learned to shoot pool, this type of shot did not exist! The place I played in New York City, did not allow jumpshots for fear that the cloth would be ripped. So, old school, we learned kicking and safety play, that was hard enough. Today, with players able to jump balls, takes away a good part of the safety game! Even now in snooker, players have learned how to jump their cue ball, run it down the top of the rail and drop it into a pocket. Really a great looking shot, but takes so much out of the game.
Robert Steiner Not allowing jumping in a pool hall is not the same as what this shot is, nor is it the same as using short jump cues which is what it sounds like you are talking about. People often bundle jumping and jump cues in the same category and they are not. Jumping with a full cue is not that easy and has been done for many decades.
Those types of shots have been around for years, once you know how the balls react it just takes a bit of thinking to apply it in a game. Like using the back of the pocket to bounce back to table or bank off a point, etc...
My knowledge goes back to the early 70's to a professional player named Bucktooth. He played in those Stardust Casino event's back then so a Google search should reveal his actual giving name but I met him in 2000 and he claimed to have made this shot famous... If you didn't already know ..this is a last resort type of shot due to difficulty as well as controlling the cue ball for position of next shot...despite what the comment section says about mastering this shot 1st attempt... the absence of seeing it executed even once on ESPN let alone on many occasions should reveal how hard it is and percentages are favored towards a safety them this.... I didn't see Alex's match but I can guess it came early ...with a commanding lead or when very much solidly defeated by several number of game behind and just playing to the crowd... Maybe I'm wrong
It should be noted Alex is using a jump/break cue and Rollie's got a Predator shaft (or something a lot like it, based on the markings). The j/b cue jumps much more easily than the low-deflection Predator/Predator-like shaft. So in a way, Rollie had an even harder job than Alex.
Never ever though this kind of shot exists.. But makes perfect sense when Alex shoots it.. Right? Next time on the table, have to try this! :) Thanks!
You and me both..
I'd probably call someone out thinking they were trying to bottom jump which is illegal within Texas Express rules in a majority of nine-ball I've played but who am I..😕
Frank Yeager yeah🤠
Actually Efren Reyes executed this shot once in an exhibition
He racks
He makes me laugh
But most importantly he bacc
This Alex guy looks like he has some potential. He should consider becoming a professional.
Domain Admin even the dog walking around outside has a potential to be the best nascar driver. I believe what you said!
then someone is suppose to say well duh hes a fucking pro u dumbass...then u get all happy n stuff cuz u got em...how cute
K
No one took the bait
You do know that Rollie is a pro right?
Rollie is touring around the country to learn from all the masters of pool... Soon he will be a master himself. Very soon.
Tesha's Mindset School you do realize he probably does that and no it doesn’t just take 5-10 hours of practice each day lol
Tesha's Mindset School that’s what he said
@@tesha199 as well as it comes within a young age after so long your ability to really progress in this game comes to a halt not saying you cannot become a little better buy a ball or two but that's it
Rollie O'Sullivan lmao
This shot is blowing my mind a little bit. After you think you know about a game, then there is so much more to learn.
Whst is crazy is that Alex did this under pressure in a game in 1 shot. And here 5 times a row in front of the camera is INSANE.
Unreal how good these guys are
Alex ran over Shane Van Boening one time. He is that good.
It’s like you play Alex In the opening round of the U.S. Open 9ball
Alex seems like a very humble man. His knowledge of the game is insane.
I like your channel man, great idea. And I like Alex's style at the table, not afraid to try something out of the ordinary
Amazing shot
The beautiful mind comment was class.. good timing on the comedy
These guys like efren see numbers and formulas on the pool table.
asian level genius
Alex Pagulayan is a Filipino who just grew up in Canada.
@@user-yh3lu2fd9t his genetic is Asian
Incredible
Next episode, you should learn Jeffrey De Luna’s break!
yeah plz, good idea :P
I have never clicked on a video quicker 😂👌
Alex needs to do his own instructional video covering everything
Nice Video. Would still be cool if you tried these shots beforehand "oldschool-style" without any help from the pros. I guess I like to see you fail, but eventually figure it out on your own :D
if he didn't have alex there, he wouldn't even be trying the same shot.
Surely this shot is just below centre, jacked up. As ALex gets backspin
Okay time to head to the pool hall and try this shot out!
Thanks for doing this type of shot Brah... I kinda knew the concept but never practiced or gave it a chance. Im adding this to my arsenal.
I found that shot in match from 1988, so that is old school skills ;)
Much older
Damn what a shot! Chess isn't the only sport that has sorceries, pool also have sorceries of their own.
Your are a such luck guy.
Hanging out and meeting all great players!
i love alex´s playstyle and his attitude :) epic shot btw!
I hit a similar shot at a pool tournament immediately my friend who knows pool tells me thats some AP shot you just made it went in like a bullet the 9 ball in the corner pocket
When you are going to post the video you did in Berlin ;)
Alex is the man, seems like the most chill dude to play with too.
I’ve been searching endlessly on you tube on how to do this sweet.
beautiful mind scene alone could get this vid a like aha
Not going to lie. This dude is annoying. Allow Alex to teach
As you can see by the divots on the cloth that it took a few tries before he actually made the shot.
Rollie you should go to the Philippines 🇵🇭
When he said just add 2%. What does f@(kin mean?
Should have asked him where he learned the shot
Great stuff, as always!
Mark Wilson taught me this few years ago and I used it against an opponent. He was mind blown too. Haha
Mark Wilson learned a lot from being around Efren. Such a good bond between them too
Great video please keep them coming.
That's a truly amazing shot
Wow.
Bullshit, this is an efren reyes shot

Spectacular Rollie ! ... and Alex. ! Thanks again.
Crazy ass shot
Gg
How'd Alex even think of, no, feel, like doing that? In a TV match! WTF #beautifulmind
THE REAL GOAT.
Ok mind blown 🤯
Rollie, whats keeping you from coming to The Philippines and follow Efren is his tour of the barrios looking for his protege.
Please make a fail compilation of some of the greatest of all time players like Alex. It is scary how these players think about shots a normal person wouldn't even dream about. 😂
Hey I did that once.. Didn't pocket the ball tho, but the object ball jumped high enough to break a window lol
Great video Rollie !!!
Can u do a video where you or any pro teach how to use side?
Like if they use backhand and fronthand spins or some other way .
Now, you have added another special trick under your sleeve, please don't screws it in us open, like you did in 6:36. Rise and shine, Rollie 🤘🤘
Wow. Been playing forever on and off and never knew, even a pro could make that shot so many times in a row. Kudos for you for making in on 6th time. Impressive. Got a try next time I play.
I'm just watching the Rollie clone sitting behind watching them play
Nice video Rollie, keep up the good work man, I’m always looking for these videos when they come out
what cue tip is best for an average player in kamui ? is it medium or soft or super soft?
What!?!!!
just wow !
from a golfer to a pool player, is there a wrist release at the end of a stroke, on normal shots at normal speed, or on the break?
Hey , come to newcity and make a video with a pinoy star , Mhatt
Unfortunately looks like you fouled on the 8ball shot lol
Rollie is gonna get Handy Cap 7.......
1:05
With a one-pocket two rail bank and a well practiced victory dance after you sink that eight ball as your opponent missed it because they were sipping at their beer can like it was fancy or something.
Great, great, feels good.
Did anyone else laugh 😹
Is it possible to do an episode with SVB?
This is a mind-blowing shot. So this is how pros think, hmmmmm.
Great vid. Been waiting for this shot since episode 1
Definitely a legal shot.
Phew man, these pros are on another level!!! Soon Rollie gonna be joining the pro ranks
Awesome video, awesome guy and awesome shot!
who wants to see efren in the next episode?
Absolutely amazing 🤯

Awesome stuff man!
nice ideas nice videos!!!
I clapped for you.
Soon he'll not be answering our comments, cause he'll be a famous person.
😂😂😂😂
that was a cool shot to see
Dude, this was great.
like the vids.
This is as hard a shot as it gets. I tried it the other day and it took me around half an hour to give up it's that hard...
I made it 3 times a row with first three attempts. Maybe lucky but it didn't felt as hard it looks.
That was sick
alex makes that look easy
Every Filipino is a beast in pool
My Girlfriend is a Filipina and I can tell you sir...she isn't 😄
@@Mojotasticification lol alright 😂
Unreal
Nice
I remember when I first learned how to do this haha. More common of a shot than you would think
Damn Rollie I wanted to see you play him.
There’s a previous video on Rollie’s channel where they do play
I will be amazing if u go to play snooker. May be Jimmy white or osullivan im just saying
Nobody in this channel cares about snooker!
Staying in your lane and your boring game!!!
Alex is a multi-time snooker champion.
The Lion!

Who invented this shot? Alex?

that is alexs playing cue im pretty sure
Tarl Kudrick I think that is just a normal ferrrule and tip, just brown color.
Im a average bar level player, when I seen this video, I tried it and made it three times a row with my 1st attempts. Good video.
What's up with the bottom Jump??
Never thought it was legal nor effective well... There I have it
I guess
