    As someone who plays out of Society Billiards, I can attest to the fact that Rollie has been working on the drill he learned from Ralph Eckert in the previous video. Every so often you see a faint outline of a square left in the center of the table as a sort of "Rollie was here" calling card.

    The thing that stands out to me is that you follow through the cue ball a good 12" where as AO barely follows through at all. Either way it's a cracking shot and you did well to replicate it at all; I doubt many others, even pros, would do the same in many less shots than yourself. Hats' off sir.

      Was going to make that same comment but saw you beat me to it. New cloth slides different than older, "more experiencrd" cloth.

    • @johnkuhl6698
      @johnkuhl6698 Před 4 lety +14

      It is Somonis cloth. But agreed, newer cloth is COMPLETELY different than older cloth. Even 3 months makes a difference.
      Also, if the balls are dirty or old that will affect a lot as well.

  • @anononomous
    @anononomous Před 4 lety +48

    I reckon 40 was probably okay, as even a player like Ouschan was probably going for either/or rather than that specific contact on the 2.

    • @whitelion204
      @whitelion204 Před 4 lety +13

      This. I'm sure this is a percentage shot because as long as you don't hit the wrong side of the 2 it's likely that you'll get a position. That's why to me shot #40 is even better than the original shot.

    • @jamesroboyle
      @jamesroboyle Před 4 lety +2

    • @chrisp2272

    I've seen every video. The final cut reel has great explanations as to what works and what doesn't. What's even more impressive, is that you are able to adjust when making all your attempts in real time at the table and remembering what you needed to do differently to recreate the shot. Pretty powerful skill to hone! Keep up the excellent work!

    To be fair, I'm impressed you were able to do it at all on that cloth! Remarkable! I imagine, dont know for sure, that the slicker and faster cloth albin had makes it a smidge easier but he did get it on try 1. Still impressive. Love your videos and commentary!

    • @michaeltrumph121
      @michaeltrumph121 Před 4 lety

      I told him that myself. Albin was playing on far better equipment: brand new table and brand new cloth. That means the balls skid/slide more and the table plays much faster.

    Rollie my man, u forgot to factor in the fact that Albin was playing on a brand new table with a brand new cloth. Basically, it plays a lot different than yours. New cloth means the balls skid/slide a bit more and it's also way faster.

  • @gishena
    @gishena Před 4 lety +20

    Welcome back mate! A couple of comments I wanted to share:
    1) Being an average player myself, this shot seems a lot harder than the Efren trick shots, which you just need to get the hang of. Said differently, it can take you another 50 shot to pot the ball here again, while you probably would be able to pull off some of the other shots more consistently.
    2) I look forward to you crushing the above average players in the tournament, would be sick if you can pull off some of the shots you trained :D
    3) I'm sure you have fun with Florian and the rest (who is a really nice dude btw, I've talked to him briefly) but this series is the one which created your hype and the one we like (e.g., only here you can make jokes about the casino, baby, etc.).
    4) Happy new 2020 year dude!
    Cheers,
    gishena

    I think the pro player's shot was luck or a fluke. He was hoping to come back down table but the cue ball hit the point which rebounded it back to the side rail which pushed it into the two ball. 52 tries to mimic a fluke shot. That shows your dedication to the craft. I'm just happy to do a full table draw shot.

    This is the first one of your videos I've seen. I *really* like the concept. I'm not a pool player, but I'm interested in watching Snooker, so I always wonder what the players are actually doing and/or thinking while planning their shots. It's really helpful having you try the same shot repeatedly and describe what's going wrong and right--that's one of the things missing from match commentaries. Thanks muchly!

  • @poolgod214
    @poolgod214 Před 4 lety +1

    Hard to tell from the angle, but I think Albin is bridging higher off the rail with a closed bridge, rather than right off the cushion. That will help with getting the top spin. On many of your shots you were hitting too low; I think it was because of the bridge.

    The fact that you got the ball there and had a shot is what matters.
    Keep shooting man, well done.

  • @BryanO92
    @BryanO92 Před 4 lety

    I think part of the difference between his shot and yours is your bridge technique. He keeps his bridge closer to the tip of the cue giving him more control. When I slow your shots down, there is often quite a bit of play in your follow through, which suggests there's probably variance in your stroke. Watch his stroke: it doesn't wobble on the follow through at all, it's under 100% control at all times which gives him 100% precision. If you can perfect that one thing, I think you will get much more consistent and reproducible shots.
    I love watching this series, please keep them coming, Rollie!

    Hey rollie...I was watching a video of "the best shots of the decade" or something, and saw earl strickland make a jump shot from corner to corner (top to bottom, opposite sides). The real difficulty is how he had so much back spin on the cue ball that it draws full table right back to where it started. Maybe give the shot a try for your next video?

    Remember those TV tables have new cloth and are under lights so no moisture on the table that makes it super slick that's why his ball slides so easily and he used way less effort and still got more action than you but you did well...

The shot I want you to recreate is hit power shot into the bottom corner and run 4 rails around, with top english, for position at the head rail for the next shot. Please do this. Also do an everyday carry with your cues and case, I'd love to know what cues you have.

    Another awesome vid! Albin's the man and always has been, thanks for showing him respect. Next time make it easy on yourself Rollie, your one-ball is too far to the left and too far up table. I know I'm splitting hairs but it looks like at least half to three quarter's of an inch difference both ways. Look at 9:35 frame and you'll see it. Not hating on you, in fact you made a much harder shot because you had more of the 3-ball to clear and more angle for the spin to take. AWESOME shot Rollie!!!

  • @lindastevens3547
    @lindastevens3547 Před 4 lety +2

    Albin executed a fairly simple 3 cushion billiard shot. This confuses pool players because they don't understand what they're seeing. It's a 2 o'clock follow shot with a delay built into it. When the cue ball strikes the side rail, it looses a little forward momentum. The side spin is now more than the forward stroke, so it bites the top rail and heads back down table along the rail, it's intended path. It must be stroked, not poked. If this shot is not part of your 9 ball arsenal, you're a victim.

  • @IWillSayMyPeace
    @IWillSayMyPeace Před 4 lety +1

    There are so many variables and differences in circumstances at play here from where that pro player did that shot to from where you are trying to re-create an exact copy of it. What I am trying to say is; even albin ouschan himself would not be able to exactly replicate that shot on that table without trying many times, just like you did. He would get as close as you did perhaps with much fewer tries, but still...

  • @mike2687
    @mike2687 Před 4 lety

    In fairness Rollie, Ouschan was simply going for the general area and would've been happy with contact on either ball or getting position to pocket the 2 ball in the left corner--it's unlikely that he was trying to bump the two ball specifically to play in the near corner... I consider shot #15 to be a successful replication of the original shot.

    To be honest I think that the outcomes you got for shot 40 and shot 42 are better than the pro example . . Even though it was unintended.
    For shot 40 in particular; I’m willing to bet that the pro would have preferred the way your layout looked

  • @enricokohler475
    @enricokohler475 Před 4 lety

    takeaway message: to get a shot on the 2 you don't neccessarily need to do what Albin did - he's stroke is just moster, the Revo shafts shines brighter then most CF shaft with those extreme spin shots, it's TV table table with much more dry conditions due to TV lights...

  • @Minhbee18
    @Minhbee18 Před 4 lety

    I think shot depends on lots of things like: your cues, cue tip, cloth table, balls, humid cloth and of coz your pool skill but can not forget a lucky also. Obviously Albin is great pool player. But i like Mika Immonen’s play style. He had a lot of trick shot too.
    P/s: Lot of respect for your trying :)

  • @Alexander0011
    @Alexander0011 Před 4 lety +1

    I think the shots where you hit the ball in front of the 2 ball was more what he was trying to do, or even the ones where you got a good shot on it in the bottom left corner. There’s no way he played that shot to do exactly what it did by grazing that 2 ball and leaving a lay up like that .?.?. Unless I’m totally wrong and he did mean to do exactly what he did.... In either case it was a beast of a shot, and nicely done replicating it as well as you did.

  • @interchangexVP3
    @interchangexVP3 Před 4 lety

    Albin's shot is not a fluke, but neither was it planned to hit it exactly that way. He took a calculated risk to get the cue ball off those rails near the 2, possibly bumping one of the balls and ending up with some sort of shot or reasonable safety. The way they laid going that path, it's unlikely to end up snookering yourself, and if you do you'd be close to the ball with likely an easy 1 rail kick and great chance to kick safe. So it's a smart thing to try without a precisely certain outcome. Sometimes that's the best you got. I'd say in this video you succeeded multiple times, getting better than Albin on some, and well within the range of his intent

  • @TimZ007
    @TimZ007 Před 4 lety

    In all fairness. Table felt conditions, humidity, and level of polish on balls is likely making this near impossible to duplicate.
    Considering the layout of would think top inside going 3 rails leaves a more consistent repeatable breakout position on the 2.
    Good to know this is a possible way to getting position though.
