  • Gav and Dan have never been immensely happy with the kind of break a pool cue can provide, so they try something a little more serious.

      Being in the center, the eight ball dispursed it's energy into more balls and, thanks to equal and opposite reaction, had a higher chance of staying relatively put...
      I'm not a scientist, what I wrote above is an utter guess and my actual answer is that's just how skilled Dan is at pool.

    12:20 is the break. Around twenty years ago I was playing pool at a friend’s house, in his basement. On my second break of the night, the cue flew up in the air several feet and split in half, almost dead middle. The top half flew past my friend’s head and the bottom half hovered in the air for a split second. It landed on the middle of the table and spun, just like a top, for what seemed like a minute but was at least 20 seconds or more. I’ve been playing pool for over 40 years and have never seen anything like that before and haven’t since. He doesn’t have that table anymore but the cue ball is still down there on his shelf.

      Playing a tie-breaker in a tournament many moons ago, my opponent broke, after striking the 1-ball, the cueball went straight up, shattered the stained glass light above the table, came down and landed on the 8-ball (which had pretty much stayed stationary until then) and, despite the debris that was falling on the table, sank it in the side pocket. I conceded the game and yelled, "Cleanup, table seven!" 😏

      I learned very quickly that I shouldn't break at an angle as I had a knack for launching the queball after contacting the first ball and people in the bar I used to play in quickly learned to avoid 1 particular bar stool as that is where the queball would land every time after the first nutshot no one would sit in that stool when I broke at an angle and let's just say that guy drank alot that night as I bought all of his beers the rest of the night

      *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.*
      As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
      Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.

    This was a treat to watch. While in the military I was in artillery. What is really neat about his video is the curve balls it was firing, this was due to primary the shape of the round and no riffling. As the cue ball is coming out it super heated which makes it malleable, as it travels through the air, its hitting hot and cold air spots, that causes one side to snape back hints first curve, then the other snaps back an you get the other curve. Overall great thing to watch my eyes are pleased!
