yes good idea, and when the ball is safe (cue ball is very closed to the bank) u can only use top spin (like in real snooker)...

in  real  pool  u  can  spin the  ball back far if u  know  wut  yur  doin  m8;)jus takes  practice

talking about snooker tables

 ;)

If Vexxed can play a full table shot and spin the ball backwards 4 table lengths on a full size US 8 ball table under normal conditions, I'd give him or her 100 USD.

nice 1 Beppe

 :D

Geez Beppe now I'm going to go practice on my table with a camcorner :p

Speaking of a camera on the corner, I think that would be a great idea! Maybe Fod can implement a few different camera angles, each one placed on each pocket so as to allow for those replays like on TV.

Oh and yeah, I think the swerve idea would make the game more interesting as well. I also find that masse shots would be another good thing as well as jump shots. I believe over the course of time, Fod might consider these things. I don't think that all these changes will happen in the next few days tho. But ya never no 4 sho.

GOOD1 caption , cuz it can b  done , its all wut u know about ball control , and  if you  know your gm like i do, you  dont even have to use full force to  do it;)

and beppe ,if you shoot the  cue ball with  heavy bottom against the  nap of the cloth, the cue ball will spin much further  back , try it ;) and also it  depends on the type of  cloth u have , some r very  fast  others r very  slow

I look forward to seeing the mpeg. You will not be able to do it.

well beppe i tried to do 4 banks on my sons table last nite , but only got 2 and a half, but his table is only press board  under the  cloth, not  slate, so its a lil slower  than a real  official  table....;)but it can b  done,trust me i know, i  used to  play  pro many yrs ago
1981-82 canadian snooker  champion and i have the  speed pool  record also, 15 balls in  32.6 seconds on a 8 bl  table record  made on april 17th 1997 and  videod

upload it for all to see

15 balls in 32 seconds I believe. 4 banks up and down - starting with the object ball almost full length away - still not convinced ;)

beppe   it  can  b  done , all  depending  on how  fast the  table is, but u do have a point,FOD  should fix that lil prob and  make it a lil more realistic as far as  ball  controll  goes, like  maby  they  could add masse  so  you  can  curve around a ball  to  get out of  snookers, i  use  masse alot  to  curve  balls  in  real  pool , i  dont  c  why  they  dont  add  that  option

im going 2 agree wit all of u the spin shud b betta than it is all though i like wot u did wit the fine-aim. n yes all it talkes iz practice;):)

under normal conditions

Speed cloths, extra thin tips, different balls, these don't count. I still don't believe it can be done by anyone here. Vexxed tried and managed 2 rails, and he claims to have been a pro snooker player. I am pretty decent at pool (nowhere near pro level though) and I know I can't do it.

Try it, capture it on a digital camera if you can repeat then post it on the net somewhere (or I'll make up an email for you to post it to).

i  give up beppe , i  tried  over  40  times  at a pool  hall  near me on a pro 9 ball  table  and  best i  cnn do is 2 and a bit and the table is one of the fastest tables  ive  ever  played on, and  now  the  funny  part  of all  this  is  that every1 at that  hall  is  tryin  it  now  and  there  gona  make it  into  a  compitition.  every time a person tries it  at  our   hall  , they  have to  put 10 cents into a  jar and the  person who   does 4 rails  gets  what ever is in  the  jar lol, i  think  theres  gona b alot of  dimes in that  jar after a  wile lol

in case that some ppl havent understand it,beppe doesnt mean that u cant screw back the cue ball 4 tables generally,but only when the object ball is on the one side and the cue ball on the other of the table.

i think i agree on beppe on this...


:)

Vexxed - you are a breath of fresh air in this forum. Thank you for trying to back up what you have to say, and for admiting that for the moment you may be wrong. I respect the way you approached this. Let us know if someone wins those dimes!

wow, good sportsmanship ;)and great going vexxed - what an unbelievable performance :O 2 and a bit from one end of table to other, great achievement in itself. ;)

P.S shame vexxed didnt do it though, id have loved to see Beppe give away 100 USD lol :p
