TOP 10 MOST FAMOUS POOL SHOTS OF ALL TIME … And How to Shoot Them
Description
In a recent video, I demonstrated and analyzed the Top 10 Most Famous pool shots by the Greatest of All Time (GOAT): Efren Reyes. In this video, I present the Top 10 Most Famous Shots by everybody else. I try to recreate them, and I give advice for how to be successful if you want to give them a try.
CORRECTIONS (sorry for my carelessness - I should have found and watched the source match videos for context first):
- on shot 5, Corey was playing 1-pocket (not 10-ball), so it was a two-way shot where he was getting the 8 out of his opponent's pocket while also having a chance to pocket the 10.
- on shot 10, Shane was playing 10-ball, which is a call-pocket game, so he intentionally tried to make the 10 (or leave the 3 bad if he didn't). If he had called the 3 instead, the 10 would spot and his opponent would shoot.
