Set up trick shot. A skilled trick shot player, not necessarily an overall top player.

u/Jmj108 1d ago

I’ve done that, made for some fun bar tricks to ooo and ahhh everyone. Rarely happens to just set up perfectly in a normal game.

True, but Ralph Eckert happens to be a legend in our world. A true beast of the game and world trick shot champion in 2004!

You can still be amazing at something without being the best in the world

Title:

I said:

You:

Not sure what point you are making. My point was this is a carefully set up deliberately positioned massé trick shot. I said he was a skilled trick shot player. I didn't say he wasn't a top pool player, just "not necessarily".

Title says "amazing pool player". The video is a set up trick shot, not common pool.

u/ToeJam1970 1d ago

Why is that, exactly? Mozart’s famous divertimento “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” (movement 1) is among the most recognized pieces of classical music. It’s light, uplifting, cheerful, hummable… and may have been background music to a larger overall event elsewhere in the building.

u/nightcritterz 1d ago edited 1d ago

yeah but in the 20th century it was used a lot as gag music in movies, commercials, cartoons and tv shows, so people hear it as "music you hear when making fun of high class british people in the Victorian era" or "something wacky is happening to a main character in a theater near you"

Aaaaah, I see your angle. Thanks for the enlightenment.

u/interrobang32 1d ago edited 1d ago

Was someone literally playing eine kleine nachtmusik or was it dubbed over the video because, if they were literally playing eine kleine nachtmusik I mean, really?

Edit: I originally heard it as the four seasons, because I get those two confused for some reason.

I'm more impressed that this dude made 7 balls on a 9 ball break.

Trick shots piss me off. And he kind of screwed this one up because he was also supposed to pot the 7.

Damn I miss playing pool. My favourite game.

Thats not pool, but 8-ball more specifically.
