Welcome back genipool we missed u

[@Isuc_at_poolgolf]

That SVB power draw is one of the best draw shots I’ve ever seen, love him, Looking forward to see his great performance in the mosconi

[@Tanfo77]

@4:15 that's some really good draw shot.

[@BillarRD]

I Love This Game ♥️🎱

[@EynkiYoom]

4:16 i just love these screws when people dont drop their elbow. Such a fine technique.

[@genipool]

Shouldn't dropping the elbow be better, as it gives longer follow through?

[@EynkiYoom]

@@genipool basically, not necessarily. At snooker you can actually witness deep screws without the dropping elbow. Dont get me wrong tho, it requires some sick technique to perform insane screws with dropping elbow, specially in snooker.. But since timing is what its all about, its fun watching these shots. For me, im just extra amazed when they follow through a small portion of the shaft.

[@Krushard]

He stood up on the shot tho, I'm wondering if staying still can generate a similar power.

[@Crxig3]

@@genipool the follow through is more so to ensure that you're 1) shooting straight down your line of aim and 2) you are accelerating through the ball. Your tip is only in contact with the cue ball for a fraction of a second, so theoretically the length of the follow through is necessarily all that important. The most important part technique wise for a draw shot like Shane's is the grip hand. It needs to be very loose. Maintaining that type of accuracy with that loose of a grip is the impressive part. Aside from technique, new felt and freshly cleaned balls make this shot a lot easier to do once you get the hang of it.

[@Crxig3]

@@EynkiYoom he does move his elbow up and then down below the 90° mark. So not an "elbow drop" but there is movement.

[@watchouch]

Amazing drawshot by Shane. Man…

[@soonboy1009]

That draw shot is incredible , that's some shit

[@montyidohair]

Great compilation! Thanks for sharing your time to put this together. Good stuff! 👍👍

[@kriskringle6173]

Shane has got a powerful game. Power and control. Hard to balance that. His draw was the most impressive here. I've done it many times on kid table but it's another thing to pull that off on 9ft10ft. Whole other ball game.

[@barguiarenax]

That 4:15 shot by SVB is amazing. He is my favorite top pro player. To see that kind of precision firepower is amazing 🪄

[@dalerobertson138]

The craziest part is he didn't even hit it that good. He kinda jerked stroked it and his stroke is usually so much cleaner on extreme draw shots like that. But what do I know I'm a total moron

[@barguiarenax]

Maybe it looked like he jerked the stroke a little bit. I think that was because of the cueing angle with the ball distance to the rail, the amount of speed that he had to put in and the camera angle. It could be smoother but I wish I could shoot like that regarding of the type of stroke.

[@dalerobertson138]

I know that's right my man lol. I seen him play live at the blue diamond in Detroit and his stroke is just filthy.

[@antoniotrew5894]

See I'm an amateur I would have tried hitting off the long rail and cutting the ball in and hopefully get back up table....Been a rookie mistake for me probably lol

[@sub_second_life3174]

the crazy thing was is he had a few other options to choose and he was down by 1 in the match. I’m not sure if he just figured he would have a shot on the 4 ball no matter what or he’s just that good but what a touch 😂

[@thegodofpez]

Incredible talent on display here. My goodness.

[@ohhhRambo]

I always find it interesting to think about how all these awesome shots we see in highlight videos and replays would just never exist if they were miscalculated or misplayed by the tiniest margin. They would just fade away never to be seen again and just be a missed shot in a random match.

[@skoobasteve1237]

The word 'sin' translates as 'to miss the target'

[@Joe-Z]

That draw shot by shane was incredibly difficult to execute perfectly straight back. Very small margin for error. (if any)

[@physicsguybrian]

Straight back is technically zero margin for error. Cue ball literally has to hit with no angle else it will deflect on impact. Also, the draw must have zero side spin component (since he cued with some down angle else the cue ball would swerve some). That stroke was ridiculously impressive. If I had half that much draw I'd be thrilled!!!!

[@sphigel1]

And it was on a 10ft table! Crazy.

[@mrsnookerhd]

[@luxuryviplifestyle9494]

Amazing

[@jredziniak]

The game at @8:37 where Alex gets the 10 ball in early - that is a win? I thought 10 early does not make a win even if called

[@shayne.7770]

Despite living in norfolk I couldn't afford to attend, so who won?

[@simonleroy9576]

I guess it's in an attempt to make it more entertaining but I really don't agree with that choice to make it a win when you pocket the 10 without calling it. It's basically 9 ball with an extra ball now. Pointless.

[@hawkwind769]

When did this start?? I agree should go back to the old rules... Keep 9 ball 9 ball and 10 ball 10 ball🤣

[@Peropero337]

What the nuts was that cue ball pop height from Van Boening at the very start of the video lmao

[@SamuL147]

2:29 De Lunas force follow shot.. Hes the only one to even attempt that but to execute that as well.. Bruh

[@Krushard]

Extreme follow but not a force follow shot.

[@haies09]

Link or title for the break shot in the intro please

[@johnbritton9498]

Is it really necessary to have the text block so much of the viewing area? How about placing it in the upper corners so we can see all the balls and shots?

[@genipool]

What text? If you talk about subtitles, you can turn them off, this is automatic KZbin feature, which isn't controlled by me at all

[@DBZ-Mousa]

4:15 for the thumbnail!

[@mario_vicente]

6:03 In my opinion, SVB's shot was a fluke. He was trying to cut the 1 ball into the lower left corner pocket and get position on the 2 ball, but instead, he got a perfect safety shot. The reason why I believe it is a fluke, it is because SVB is looking at the 1 ball after the hit, not the cue ball. If he was planning to make a safety shot, he would be looking at the cue ball path right after hitting the ball. Check the video and you will see SVB is following the 1 ball until he realizes that he misses it.

[@San-cs6lk]

I think SVB was searching for someone who asked?

[@waylandquiaoit3871]

9:12 It kinda looks like this shot came from snooker

[@sololegit]

I love Shane as much as anyone and give him more credit than he probably deserves sometimes. I'll be a god damned monkeys uncle though if he was playing that roll up on the 2 4 rail safe. He might have been playing part of it but, that's a hard sell for me. Unless he came out and said he was playing that and i missed it or something.

[@chili015]

I have to believe he was playing the 1 safe and the bonus was getting behind the 2. He knew what path the 1 would take and also knew the cue ball would end up on the opposite end rail... there was always the chance of getting behind the 2 in that scenario.

[@sololegit]
