No hope for me
I'm a pool hall junkie...watching this 3 minute video, not only did I know who this counter man (guy who works a pool hall counter) was talking about, I could visualize the gaff game and the shots he describes. Anybody else here able to translate?

I feel like I should be drunk and digesting some greasy fried food to be listening to this story.

Poor Nostro- who usually knows everything...not a clue? Probably to your credit...

I might feel differently if pwd posted billiard videos often. I did not understand where he called a couple of the balls "Hangers". It was in the context of two rail shots.

Hmmm, there seems to be a reluctance by some here to learn anything about cultures other than their own.
Bob..think he was saying balls were made "like it was a hanger"...or perhaps a 2 rail kick shot to make a hanger? (edit) Okay, listened again. "He banked in 4 or 5 two railers...the ball near a pocket like it was a hanger.". That means, an object ball was near a pocket, but not the one pocket Corey had to sink it in. So, he hit the object ball so it hit a rail, then the rail on the other side of the pocket, and it travelled on a path into the pocket he was shooting for. (a bank is when the cue ball hits the object ball first. A kick is when the cue ball hits the rail first.) So, he's saying that Corey made 4 or 5 of these shots...takes talent with a bit of luck to do even one of these. A hanger is an easily made ball. "hanging" between the jaws of the pocket. But even a hanger can create problems...easy to scratch. Obvious that this guy was highly impressed with the talent display he'd witnessed...

If someone is going to tell a story, they should learn story telling. It's not about culture or appreciation of someone's hobby or interests, it's about making it interesting to the uninitiated.
Paul, you have to admit, that was boring. And the story had potential. |
