When hit well, it is a good hit (no double hit or push). In the slow motion replay, it looks like the ferrule might have hit the CB (because I didn't hit the CB quite high enough). If so, this shot was technically a double hit. However, since the double hit is not visually obvious, the shot would not be called a foul. For more info, see: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/foul/double-hit/ Also, under the official rules of pool, you are allowed to hit into a frozen CB per the info here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/foul/frozen/ And the shot was not a "push" (prolonged contact) based on the "pool" use of the term, per the info here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/foul/push/
@@DrDaveBilliards well that's some BS, it was fairly obvious even without the slow mo, so if i played against you, i would ddfinetly call it foul.. you and your double standarts.... when you made the exams (your exams) there were more than 5 shots where you said "pfu, that was close... but it's in", i speak about shots that should have been with the CB in certain place on the table, let's say in the square of the first diamonds in one of the corner pockets, and you never showed us better look, the camera was high and with bad angle so we had to trust you, ok, i can trust you, to a certain point, when you had 5 or 6 close calls, but you judged all of the as points, i wanted proofs, that's how you got your high score of 90, or 95 idk out of 100, so you want to tell you are better than van boenig, who got 84 or something like that on the first exam.. but you and your doble standarts, all of your close calls were "in", when it was clear, that you missed some of them and other were controversial.... now the same double standarts, i did a foul, but it wouldn't be called a foul, because i hit it too fast, BS, Dhead, it is a foul, just like probably half of your close calls on the exam were OUT of target
"You just need to aim the cue in the right direction, and hit the cue ball with the right speed" I believe that applies to literally every shot, dr. Dave :)
Thank you for having a table. This might as well be an asmr video for us pool players who can’t play for the time being. The sounds of pool make my day.
Thanks Dave, your the best😁👍 Another GREAT VIDEO! These are just the kind of videos we need to take our minds off of things, keep them coming. I cant wait to try out some of these shots when I can get back to the pool hall. It’s times like these I wish I had a pool table in my home. If I did I could get in so much practice, Dang it!😩
Hey Doc. If you've never seen Turn the River, I'd highly recommend it. One of the few pool movies about one pocket. There aren't a ton of great shots (although there's one you can't miss that's pretty great), but it's an authentically good movie with a ton of pool.
The brand shouldn't matter much, but I used "Snap." After the shot, I cleaned the CB with Dawn liquid soap and water, then I cleaned/polished the ball with Aramith ball cleaner.
@@DrDaveBilliards I believe it was only one hustle shot. At the end. When he said "I paid for YOUR shot." As he set up perfect shapes for the easy nine ball.
I have that center extension but do not use it as it is not made right. when you roll the stick the shaft wobbles as if crooked. pin not dialed in straight. Doug Carter makes these and they are perfect you can get what length you want and even get phenolic which seems to help the hit.
Yo Doctor! Speaking of "not so popular" you have to see Shooting Gallery. It's the best pool movie I've ever seen. It has such a beautiful twist at the end that makes the whole movie a million times better.
@@DrDaveBilliards Thank you so much for all the work you put into your videos. They are just perfect in every regard, informative, educational, entertaining, perfect length... Also I love the slow motion shots. The massé looks so cool in slo-mo.
Hey Dave , I’ve been trying to do the shot of the point of the pocket that you said comes up often in game but i can’t seem to get it down. Can you make a more in depth video or give a few tips please?
It doesn’t “come up often,” but it does come up on occasion. There are also other times where going off a pocket point (side or corner) might be the only good option. There are no secrets to this type of shot. You just need to hit the right amount of the point. If it is not working for you, keep adjusting the your aim left or right in small amounts so you can see how it changes the CB direction. If you hit the point too far to the right, the CB goes too much to the right. And if you hit the point too far left, the CB will go too much to the left. Eventually, you will find the middle.
I noticed you didn't use the Revo for the upright masse shots (for obvious reasons), but I'm curious what your take is on people using shorter cues/shafts with the specific purpose of it being a masse cue. Have you ever used one, and if so is it a potentially worthy investment if someone were to take the dive into trick shot?
I don't feel like I need a masse cue (shorter and fatter, with a soft tip) in normal play; but if I wanted to do exhibitions or post lots of trick shot videos, I would definitely buy one.
I had #9 come up in a game situation. I made contact with the object ball, but it came up just short. My opponents reaction was priceless though. Thanks Dr Dave.
@@DrDaveBilliards I had never thought of practicing that shot. I wish I had a table at home especially with the self isolation that we're going through. Love your videos

Hey Dr. Dave! I've been a long time fan. When I started a few years back I found your vids and they have been a huge help to my game. I ran into some serious health issues almost 2 years ago now and I haven't played since. I have some really decent predator shafts which I finally looked at today for the first time since then and they are warped. I was wondering if it is possible for them to be straightened. I'm sure there are resources online but for some reason I thought to ask you first. It also got me thinking that you could do a video on cue care. Thank you for all your insight and I hope to hear from you!
Sorry, but I don’t have any experience dealing with warped cues. The online cue repair resource I have on my website deals with removing dents: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/cue/dent/
nice shooting, I worked on that shot from 61 hustler movie,( back in the 60,when I 1st picked up a cue) and made it. I got bored with it and decided to walk the frozen shot up the rail. Some lady was watching ( we were at a barbox tourney, I was practicing) and ask how I did that shot,her husband said that's easy and did the shot, she nice honey but he was going up the rail and making it. The guy just looked at me. I walked up in half diamond increments to middle diamond, just adjust the angle a little each half diamond. thanks for the great videos
What about TV shows? There is one I had seen on an episode of Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, where Will lost the car in a pool hall and uncle Phil plays to get it back. The shot was at the end of Uncle Phil's hustling sequence where he shot 4 balls at the same time, 2 on the side and 2 in the corner. Do you think you can recreate that shot?
@@DrDaveBilliards nice! I also have a forward extention on my Meucci...I like the forward weight better than that back butt extension, guess it's just personal preference though
I saw Rollie Williams and Jennifer Barretta reviewing 'The Hustler' recently, and she thought that Paul Newman had played pool before, judging by his bridge, and stroke. I guess Willie Mosconi must have been a good coach!
I don't think Tom Cruise (in "The Color of Money") was as good as Paul Newman before the coaching; but with enough coaching, and video editing, anybody can be made to look good.
@@DrDaveBilliards I'm certain that editing isn't necessary for you, though! Ha ha ha. (Except for your recent Tom Cruise impression, with the samurai cue movements. That might have benefited from a few more takes!) Thanks, Dr. Dave, for another interesting video, to pass the quarantine time.
@@kurtkensson2059 I actually tried to practice fancier Tom Cruise moves, but my low ceiling made it very difficult, even with my jump cue. You should see the nasty scrapes and chalk marks on my ceiling. That's why I toned it down some, especially with the wife working from home hearing my ceiling impacts and scrapes.
@@DrDaveBilliards I imagine she probably wondered what the heck you were doing in there. (What were you going to say? That you were trying to imitate Tom Cruise? That might be considered "irreconcilable differences" in a court of law!) Better that those scrapes and chalk marks are on the ceiling, and not the table. (It was Robert Byrne's table, wasn't it?)
In The Hustler both players made a very soft break...What was the meaning of this? It is illegal nowdays? I think only one or two balls hit the cushion..
These are fun. I love all those pool movies, but they totally misrepresent what makes the best players what they are, which is fundamentals and consistency, of course. Efren is the closest thing we've ever seen to a real life movie pool player.
Great look-back at some classic shots! Here's one of my unlisted videos, a double version of your first shot, the frozen ball bank from The Hustler. Both pretty and elegant. ruclips.net/video/zTmB2W3gh3o/видео.html
I remember figuring out the shot from Poolhall Junkies me and friends tried it over and over again like 10-15 years ago. They need to make a new pool movie, I'll star in it...lol that won't happen, but I hope LOTS more good pool movie get made, defiantly need a sequel to The Color of Money and PoolHall Junkies could make a sequel work if I can think of script ideas why can't hollywood? lol they are lucky I don't have the money to make it work I do know some ppl who would help but it's far from having a decent production movie.
Under the official rules of pool, you are allowed to hit into a frozen CB, assuming the stroke is not a "push shot" (per the standard "pool" definition). For more info, see: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/foul/frozen/ billiards.colostate.edu/faq/foul/push/
That is not true under the WPA World Standardized Rules (the "official rules of pool"). For more info, see: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/foul/frozen/ and: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/foul/push/ Enjoy!
5:16 is a foul.... your slo-mo shows you double hitting the cue ball...good video otherwise... been doing most of those for years.... won lots of beers in the bars with them
I think you are incorrect. Watch it again. The tip hits the CB and the shaft rises above as the CB compresses the cushion. Then the rebounding CB hits the 8, transferring all of its forward speed to the 8.
If i had a computer screen I could probably get a better look... watching from an IPhone it looks suspect but i’ll concede that it’s a legal shot.... well done!!
This shot is a foul and it should not be used; but some people don't know any better, so it is important for them to be aware of this sort of thing. Regardless, it was in the movie so I included it.
First shot was a foul as your tip had more than momentary contact as seen in the replay. Your masse should not have had a cloth under the cue ball, because *you* should be able to make that stroke without hitting the table. Oh and masse shot practice will ALWAYS lead to rub marks (I do not call them burns). And your ball taps are WAY too hard and a ball tap should only be a single impact. Multiple impacts impinge and leave a permanent pit in the cloth. So you should always try a single, soft impact and then *see* if that was good enough, and ONLY add force or additional impacts when needed. That way, those impingements are kept to a minimum. I guess you were unable to perform the shot I laid out. Shot 6 also has a multiple impact cue drag foul that ball rotation can be seen to be stopped by the tip.
The first shot would not be called a foul by any experience and knowledgeable referee, even with the slow-motion replay. There is no conclusive evidence of a push or multiple hit.
Concerning the vertical masse shot, it is normal to drive the tip into the table. You can call the "burn marks" rub marks if you want, but that is not what most people call them.
Shot 6 was definitely a clean and legal hit. The tip hit the CB, the CB compressed the cushion, and then the CB hit the 8, making it lose its forward speed. Watch it again carefully.
FYI, they are called "burn marks" because the extreme force and rubbing spin creates a lot of heat in the cloth fibers in contact with the ball, causing them to be damages. Here's an infrared video showing the heat: ruclips.net/video/avFjRgzTL-w/видео.html
@@DrDaveBilliards One can see it in the slow mo, the ball rotation after the rail contact stops as the tip drags across it just *before* the object ball contact. You have to watch it a few times to see it.
You know, these trick shots are unlikely from a Funny Chinese Video about Chinese people cheated when playing Chinese 8 Ball. You see, they “win” the game by merging the balls into pocket while his opponent is looking away. You should check the funny Chinese billiard video. It’s hilarious. Just type “Funny Chinese Billiard” on RUclips.
... not under official pool rules. You are allowed to hit into a frozen ball per the info here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/foul/frozen/ And the shot was not a "push" (prolonged contact) based on the "pool" use of the term, per the info here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/foul/push/
Is that first shot a double hit or push shot?
When hit well, it is a good hit (no double hit or push). In the slow motion replay, it looks like the ferrule might have hit the CB (because I didn't hit the CB quite high enough).

"You just need to aim the cue in the right direction, and hit the cue ball with the right speed" I believe that applies to literally every shot, dr. Dave :)

Awesone video. I had to actually use the cb hit a rail to jump over other ball in actual play. No jumping house rules.
Thanks. Agreed ... the hop off a cushion is a useful and practical technique.
What brand of silicone spray are you using? And do you have to do anything special to clean the silicone from the ball?
The brand shouldn't matter much, but I used "Snap." After the shot, I cleaned the CB with Dawn liquid soap and water, then I cleaned/polished the ball with Aramith ball cleaner.

This shot is a foul and it should not be used; but some people don't know any better, so it is important for them to be aware of this sort of thing. Regardless, it was in the movie so I included it.
@@DrDaveBilliards dude... Joke
@@tuni2303 Oops.
THOSE SHOTS ARE NOT NEW TO EFREN REYES
Agreed. These shots are not new to anybody ... they have been around a really long time (even before Efren's time).
First shot was a foul as your tip had more than momentary contact as seen in the replay. Your masse should not have had a cloth under the cue ball, because *you* should be able to make that stroke without hitting the table. Oh and masse shot practice will ALWAYS lead to rub marks (I do not call them burns). And your ball taps are WAY too hard and a ball tap should only be a single impact. Multiple impacts impinge and leave a permanent pit in the cloth. So you should always try a single, soft impact and then *see* if that was good enough, and ONLY add force or additional impacts when needed. That way, those impingements are kept to a minimum. I guess you were unable to perform the shot I laid out. Shot 6 also has a multiple impact cue drag foul that ball rotation can be seen to be stopped by the tip.
The first shot would not be called a foul by any experience and knowledgeable referee, even with the slow-motion replay. There is no conclusive evidence of a push or multiple hit.
Concerning the vertical masse shot, it is normal to drive the tip into the table. You can call the "burn marks" rub marks if you want, but that is not what most people call them.
Shot 6 was definitely a clean and legal hit. The tip hit the CB, the CB compressed the cushion, and then the CB hit the 8, making it lose its forward speed. Watch it again carefully.
FYI, they are called "burn marks" because the extreme force and rubbing spin creates a lot of heat in the cloth fibers in contact with the ball, causing them to be damages. Here's an infrared video showing the heat:

@@DrDaveBilliards One can see it in the slow mo, the ball rotation after the rail contact stops as the tip drags across it just *before* the object ball contact. You have to watch it a few times to see it.
Cheated on #7 gotta be 1 handed
Now I need to watch the movie again. Regardless, the shot is so easy, no theatrics are out of the question.
You know, these trick shots are unlikely from a Funny Chinese Video about Chinese people cheated when playing Chinese 8 Ball. You see, they “win” the game by merging the balls into pocket while his opponent is looking away. You should check the funny Chinese billiard video. It’s hilarious. Just type “Funny Chinese Billiard” on RUclips.
Feel free to post a link. When I did a search, there was no obvious video to watch.
First shot was illegal, push
... not under official pool rules. You are allowed to hit into a frozen ball per the info here:

And the shot was not a "push" (prolonged contact) based on the "pool" use of the term, per the info here:
