I used to be a pretty decent shot. Had a pool table in my barn :) Yep. Fast forward 25 years. Can't shoot my way out of a wet paper bag :(. Anyhow,,this is some pretty good English these boys are doing :) I enjoyed it a lot !

I don't want to nit pick, but the guy scratched quite a few times.

PS. I love pool! Same as you my day was long ago, but I've noticed that after a few hours it comes back pretty good if your opponants are pushing you.

Hahaa.... is that a FACT?:lol::lol:

Is it still a scratch on a trick shot? I have no idea.... but super talented, regardless;)

Lol, you are endless my friend! I,,,,,,,,do NOT get better when pushed hard lol. I got a nice fancy 1 inch slate table,,used of course. In 2000. It is THE most unforgiving SOB I have EVER had the displeasure of shooting on! I DREAM of a bar room 3.5x7 ! Seriously! Even though I've never been in a bar ?? :wondering:wondering

I can't say the same. I played mainly in bars. My trick was to play snooker on a 6 X 12 for a few hours in a pool hall and then hit the bars and play for drinks.

6x 12 ????? That's a LOTTA green! In my old days, no problem. Not anymore. I think I will seriously pursue selling my big boy and getting a 3.5 x 7 .. Might be able to fit ONE more 3 wheeler in the basement too :crazy:;)

Yep, that's what the big boys play on. There was a time I could actualy hold my own on one of these, but they are long behind me. I'd love a 5 X 10 with forgiving holes and I have the room, but that part of the house is meant to be rented out when we get older and I wouldn't have anywhere esle to fit it besides my shop.

Snooker is the Top Fuel of billiards:lol: Watch the pro's play on TV sometime. It is amazing, like shooting with peep sights at 1000 yards.
