Hardest shots for you

Question

Which shots give you the most problems?

Mine are side pockets banks from an end cushion esp. on a strange table

Answer 1

Cuts into the side pocket, and any time I'm on the 8 ball--that little black ball of death!  I can usually cut into a corner pocket pretty good, and I have a reasonable percentage at banks.

Answer 2

cutting the ball i always under cut it

Answer 3

The bank shot is intimidating for me because you have to hit at least two cushions and you need to make multiple imaginary paths.

The jump shot is hard also for me because I need to get that cue stick perfectly straight.

Answer 4

The Circular Draw shot, though I've done it ;^)  Check out the video and try it for yourself.

But there are plenty of shots I haven't done...

Answer 5

side pocket banks

Answer 6

A tight massé, when I don't have a jump/short cue handy.

I love side pockets, kicks, banks, combos, throws, rails, kisses/caroms .....mhmmm.......definitely the 'tight' massé is my nemesis .....definitely.

Fun question. Thanks for exposing my weakness, Johnny!?

:-P

LAG

Do WHAT best? A tight massé or expose weaknesses? I'm assuming the latter.

Answer 7

i would have to say back-cuts from one end of the table to the opposing back corner.   Massee shots are very difficult for me as well.  RF  

Answer 8

For me it's cutting a ball down the rail and running the ball along the rail to a pocket. For me, once you add that rail in my vision, I fall apart!  One time I will under cut it and the very next shot I will over cut it, I can't seem to find the in-between. Once, recently, I was cutting the ears off the balls, it had seemed as if I had reached that great big billiards epiphany on how to cut down the rail, but POOF, just like that I was back to my old habits and have been ever since. wud up wid dat?

Answer 9

when the only open shot is from across the table. I hate when I have too much green b/c I usually s***w it up and scratch. I don't do well with rail shots as well. not like walking the dog but, when you have to bank it off three rails kind of stuff like these pro trick shot kinda c**p. My bro taught me if you don't have a shot make sure to think like 2-3 shots ahead and block your opponent from making  a shot. He's done tournaments but, I was never that good. I'm just a Recreational player.

Answer 10

The easy straight in shots. I get over confident and miss when I should ALWAYS aim at my shots. I enjoy all all the difficult shots. I miss a lot of them still but I'm getting better.

Answer 11

having to combo bank shot to the opposite side of the table

Answer 12

The crappy shots that my cocky smart-a** pool shark son-in-law leaves me are the hardest and most infuriating.

Answer 13

i recon a break of 147

Answer 14

all

Answer 15

Some Bank shots cause me trouble because I am more of a cutter than I am a banker. Combos on the money ball give me trouble also but that just may be nerves

Answer 16

The ones where I'm on the wrong end of the weapon.

Wait...we are talking about POOL ain't we?

Answer 17

Next to the last shot to the money ball and a close second would be the money ball shot!!! ....(draw shots into the corner pocket that I continually rattle would be right there with these)
