  • Offense wins games, but defense wins championships. One thing that separates the champions from the pool hall hopefuls is the realization it's not always about making the shot. Check out some of these world champions playing the kind of lock-down safety shots that win them tournaments time and time again.

      Do you guys think they’re more common in snooker because of the size of the table and the smaller balls? Or the sheer tenacity in training defense?

    • @97Andrewjs
      @97Andrewjs Před 4 lety +2

      @@pjtyra2106 I feel like it's the added focus of safety play, it's sooo much easier to run out in 8 and 9 ball than to clear up in snooker. Also, it's much harder to play these precise safety shots given the smaller ball size and the size of the table so it's easier to play safety shots in 8 and 9 ball. It just makes snooker players so impressive

    I'm not sure why this happens, but it is always annoying to watch recent Mosconi Cup matches. Audiences are inevitably filled with low IQ a-holes, loudly farting and smelling their fingers for their own rancid stench. The only way to watch Mosconi matches is with the sound muted, or just skip it altogether.

    I LUUUV Pool--I prefer it to Snooker... but that's a talent-biased choice (i.e. I lack the talent for Snooker). So that said and having watched Snooker players do wayyyyyyyyy harder shit on a table that's over 12 feet long, I'm forced to say: this is kindergarten stuff.
    Focus these videos on the cool shit that Pool players pull off all the time like jump shots, stupid-level masse shots, squeeze shots, unbelievable canons, run-outs that just shouldn't have happened, etc... not this.
