Speaking of funny pool stories ...
I've been kicked out of a pub for doing what I call a top-spin jump. You hit the top of the ball into the table and the top-spin on the ball makes it loop over the top of anything in front just like a traditional jump-shot. It is a bit harder to control and needs to be hit at a fair pace to work.
Anyway, I needed to get over a ball that was inbetween the white and the black, with the Black being on the far end cushion from where I was. I pulled out a top-spin jump, bearing in mind that the local rules prohibited traditional jumping. I cleared the opposition's ball no worries, but when the white hit the black, it catapulted the white off the table, directly behind the black at a great speed.
Unfortunately it smacked into the forehead of a chick sitting behind the table
Even more unfortunately, this chick's dad was the local Police chief![]()

It's very hard to control, and only used regularly by the "big kids". Pool room shooters rarely master this technique. I've never mastered it, and in fact, I've never gotten it to work right. I was always afraid of tearing up the pool table felt ....the owners hate thatI'm so out of practice now that I suck royally.

Bending over and ripping up Ivy is a tough job
Don't get me wrong, I love my wife dearly, but I just can't help but comment on the scenery. -
