The OB wasn't frozen. He said after watching this he'd been practicing the shot before I arrived .
Thanks, Lenny. Although not super slo-mo, it helps. From this vid, it looks like a simple double-kiss.Fast Lenny said:Doc, here it is in slo mo.

Redemptinosity is what it was ..practiced hard on it for about 15 mins before the Rodster got there ..I didn't want him to see me practicing it..He said a couple of months back.."no more of your spectacular shots" ..relative to me; not to him..when I was practicing that shot I never made it ( roughly 15 tries )..but.. the harder I shot the closer I got..after 3 hrs and one ball on the table for the whole match..I realized I was thunderstruck with redemptionosity..and here at the"Church Of What's Happenin Now" we consider this a"Life Alterin Experience"..Brothers and Sisters ..I felt like I was.."Scotch Guarded and Static Free"..Me and Rod are constantly tweakin the game so I'm guessin fri afternoon my spot will decrease by one ball.androd said:Yep, they go like that also. This wasn't that shot though. Mark made the kiss shot on me yesterday.
Rod.
PS, Shot, game, match.

The under 30 crowd likes to see runouts because their mindset is 9-ball. It's macho to run out, therefore from their standpoint one-pocket should be more of a run out game.
I too like to see good shooters, but that's not what one-pocket is all about. I much prefer watching players take the correct shots according to their skill levels.
Watching Scott is very entertaining, but few are really going to learn anything by watching his methods, simply because he plays at such a higher level than most everyone else. From the Ariz. crowd, I like watching Bernie. He takes the right shot 90% of the time; and as far as shooting, when he takes aim at a ball, it's usually going to go in.

That would be a good video. IMO a great approach would be to show a number of situations where there are several shots or moves available. An expert could say what he likes best, and why; then show all the shots and the results of each one in turn.Fast Lenny said:I agree Doc. I personally enjoy the shots that players like Scott and Mitch come with but they are not high percentage for us mortals. I do appreciate a good simple move just as much as one of those shots or when someone is in a trap but intelligently finds a way out of it. Perhaps I will make some videos where someone is in a bad trap and comes with a great shot to get out of it.
