Trying the Jimmy White 2-Rail Escape Shot | Your Average Pool Player
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- The Mosconi Cup has always been about the best pool players in America vs the best pool players in Europe, but in the 1990s, a bunch of hot shot snooker players got called in to play for the European side. One of those snooker players was Jimmy White, and when Mike Massey and Bobby Hunter put Jimmy White and Alex Higgins in a bind, Jimmy had no choice but to shoot his way out. The life story of Jimmy White is really interesting, and I encourage anyone who's interested to read or watch more about it.
As always, if you want to suggest a shot, let me know in the comments.
The track used in the video is 'Rest' by Otis McDonald

WELCOME BACK. Please don't leave us again. You're doing a great thing for the game of pool by making these videos!
Do u know his got his own channel? Lol for ne he hasnt been gone quite as long as his bwen absent from this channel
I agree! I loved watching this video series back in 2018. Glad to see it continuing!
I think the absence was probably due to him setting up his second channel called Climate Town
He left us again :(
@@aaron6627 I know :(
"Basically aimbots that smoke cigarettes"
lmfao.you can't do that.almost spit out my beer..
Shit had me dead hahah 😂 Dudes just smoking/drinking right in front of the kids
Jimmy White was an astonishingly skilled snooker player too; he could play shots no-one else would dream of playing. Famously, he reached six world championship finals, and lost them all, but he won the UK and the Masters, and spent 21 consecutive seasons in the top 16, so he has nothing to reproach himself for really. Now an insightful TV analyst.
seem to surfer from nerves bottled it a lot though in Pool he had nothing to loose which is probably why he did so well
@@steviegbcool Why is it that despite the numerous titles Jimmy won, he gets the ridiculous bottled it claim that none of the other players get when they do not win a title?
Is it purely because he never won the world title?
The swagger required to talk s*!t back to the heckler and then nail that...amazing. Welcome back, we've missed your videos.
👍 I appreciate the 'bonus content' segment. Wouldn't mind seeing it in further vids (even though its more work for you Rollie, sorry.)
This is great. This is the 2nd time I compliment you on these videos. Such a wonderful idea, and you do it with humor. We all learn from you. Tell kamui they MUST keep sponsoring you. These videos are so successful !
All these videos of you attempting shots performed by snooker players on a pool table makes me want to see Rollie Williams attempts exhibition snooker shots on a snooker table.
The camera battery would not make it.
going back to watch some of the old-school snooker greats playing in the mosconi cup is so cool
I really think that getting the shot a second time is more representative of has difficult the shot actually is. And that it wasn't a fluke.
I hope you keep doing this, even though it might be painful at times. I'll concede that if it takes over 100 attempts to get it once, you don't have to do it again. :)
I don’t know what happened with the algorithm where I wasn’t getting these because I still enjoy these. I hope you come back and create more content, as well as achieve your goal of being a great pool player.
SUUUUPER happy to see you again Rollie!! Thank you for all the content you make, i'm gonna enjoy this video take it for granted 😎
You should try snooker 😉
Yes. Playing on a full size snooker table will make you appreciate just how good top level snooker players are.
one of your comments spoke the exact truth about every pool shot..."the shot should feel like shooting thru the shot and not just a poke.."
I'm a snooker player having a table home so i can pretty much spent as much time as i want playing for free,thank you for showing how much talent jimmy white as to do that kind of shot right away on is first attempt...truly an amazing player ..one of the best of all time
Always love how relaxing these videos are. Hope there are more.
Yesssss. This upload made my day!
The commentary on these vids is just so slick and exquisitely timed. PLEASE keep making more of them Rollie!!
Great to see you back Rollie! Shame the Open didn't happen for you this year. You definitely could've made R2 😁
The 4 ball in the Jimmy shot looks much closer to the rail than the 2 ball in yours. The cue ball hitting the 8 after contact in your video seems to confirm this. Good video anyways
And that's why Jimmy White played the shot with more speed and more side spin so he could clear the 9ball and also swerve more into the side rail to pot the 4ball (the side by side shot @ 5th minute portrays that clearly). Nevertheless, Rollie got the shot mechanics figured out and would probably hit the exact same shot as the original one with just a few tries more. What I consider amazing though in that shot, or any other extraordinary shot, made by Jimmy White (or any other legendary player on any form of pool) is not the "I made it on the 1st try" but the imagination applied to resolving a problem.
Another thing too is that Jimmy obviously put a lot of Draw/Screw back on the cue ball in addition to the left spin, look at how the cue ball rips away from the tangent in the Jimmy shot. I'd go so far as to say the shot was mostly backspin with a bit of left side, probably like a 7 o'clock hit.
Don't know how he missed that detail, the back spin is literally what gives him the shot on the 5.
Dude it's about time you started making videos again. There are so many awesome shots and not enough people to recreate them on youtube lol.
Yes yes YES YES MORE ROLLIE
As someone who are doesn’t usually laugh out loud I have to say you got me on this one. Great comedic timing and just plain old funny. Awesome content by the way. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours but I’ll be watching man. Subbed.
...I need to watch this channel more😆🙌🙌🙌 Absolutely love the subject matter of learning a pros move👌
Glad you're back, average pool player! Love it!
Love the OG intro, never change it
Love these videos, got me back into pool.
Great to see you back
We didn’t see you at US open this year Rollie any plans for future competitions
Oh, and I am really happy to see that you’re back, Rollie! I’ve missed your posts.
Welcome back!! So Happy!! Keep em coming!
PLEASE MORE OF THIS SERIES!!!!!
Its been a long time i the wait but it was worth it. Hope more great content is published. Best of luck
So THIS is where Rollie went!! Jesus christ I thought he just left youtube or something. Loved his videos.
It was about time you make one like this. Liked before watching
surprisingly good video (not saving the world good 😉) I so loved that you mate the pot two time to show that it was not just luck.
WELCOME BACK MATE!
Rollie thank you thank you thank you for providing the link to that match... Sports should be fun - and maybe from time to time a little drunk!
Welcome back Rollie, it's nice to see you again :)
Awesome! Glad you are back!!
Thanks for doing this again, very happy!
Missed those "Average pool player" videos. Great job Rollie !
Haha I enjoyed this vid far too much lol thank you Rollie!
Rollie your videos are really good! Please keep making these my man!
It’s a kinda illusion, Michael.
i found that channel by accident some weeks ago and I was like "so this is why he's not uploading pool shots..."
Glad your back! ✌
Great content as always
Love the miss on the 9 afterwards lol. Thanks for the vids
I went by the Kamui booth at the APA nationals in Vegas last week. No Rollie cards. Cards for a bunch of pros but none of Rollie. I was disappointed.
Educational and entertaining!
The legend is back
Who doesn't love an aimbot?
Nice you see back, thanks for the video. 🇬🇧
YAY! The GOAT series is back!
So….you’ve abandoned your own TH-cam channel? Miss your videos playing pros. Good stuff. That said, I love Kamui anyway and am subscribed to their channel so still glad to see your content.
He's got another TH-cam channel I think it's been taking focus a bit but it's a great channel, Climate Town
@@keatk_ bag, completely non-pool related unless climate change is warping my pool table
Good to see you!
FINALLY more Rollie content
The heckler shouted "go on wiggy" to Jimmy because he has recently had his bald spot cut out and then had the hole stitched closed, and Jimmy replied "somebody's gonna get knocked out".
Pretty insane shot. I hope that heckler has stopped heckling.
The Guy was heckling jimmy about his hair as he had just had a hair transplant then Jimmy said something about knocking him out lol
Great video. Thanks for allowing me to witness this.
Watch 'Jimmy White masse shot and tell me what you think please.
Also great content. Well done.
Now we know
Rollie still alive
Nice double of that shot Rollie.
A great One Pocket Masse Kick shot. To the corner takes me 2 to 5 tries since it's such a feel shot vs aim shot. And don't know how many to pot a ball 1 diamond away.
You're better than average in my book sir.
When you start your lesson videos again (which were AWESOME). I think you should do some of the TH-camrs. Lil Chris, Scott Rohleder, John Disque, Scott Frost (not TH-camr), Pat Fleming, Bob Jewett, Ding Dong Daddy Bert Kinister, Brian from FX Billiards Neils Feijen and of course Hunter Lombardo.
Love all your content.
Jimmy White - national treasure. Alex Higgins - national treasure AND a tragic story. I don't know how many American viewers will know anything about just how iconic they were, especially Jimmy, runner up in the snooker world championships six times. They both hugely transcended snooker. The 'it's a kind of magic!' commentator is the late great Sid Waddell who usually commentated on darts in an extremely eccentric way before his own premature end a few years ago.
Nailed it!
Just to make it cooler, after he plays the shot he flicks a V at the heckler. For Americans, that’s the English version of giving a middle finger. Cold as anything.
it's just an amazing entertainment, thank you!
We've missed you Rolly
These make my day
We back Rollie. We missed your videos. What about average to good i except you to make a videos with S.V.B (his aiming is out of this world) work on that. I hope you do it.
I really miss these videos.
Love your humor. “Apparently the table isn’t a fan of magic.” Move videos please dude.
Don't call it a comeback! Good to see you again, Rollie.
Rollieeeeeeeee!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
The best match of pool ever played! For entertainment value at least. If you haven’t watched it, watch it!
How the hell Higgins was still standing at the end; I’ll never know!
Just pounding 🍻🍺🍺
Good to see you back in good health buddy. Pretty far removed from the quarantine table right?
Omg my life was missing something with you gone. Don't do that again! 😂 Seriously though, my heart skipped when I saw there was a new vid
2:02 that's a British midfinger equivalent right there
I hope this leads to people stateside to look into the Hurricane and the Whirlwind, they really were both crowd pleasers who transformed the game of snooker.
I miss these videos!!!!
HE'S BACK
The heckler makes a comment about Jimmy’s Hair
Not sure if anyone here has met Jimmy white, but he's probably the sweetest snooker player in the world. He's very humble and kind and an insane opponent
I'm not trying to be, "that guy" but look how the actual position of the 8 ball and the 4 ball and you'll see that all the balls were much closer to the rail, vastly decreasing the threshold for mistakes. Not bagging on your shot, just pointing out how amazing the original shot was considering it was flashed.
A slight correction... Alex Higgins is not British
Missed ya!
Wow, 7 months of waiting
Not to be a pooper but he had the ball way higher on the table so it wasnt as hard as it was in the real match still better than me tho
You should try out the Mike Dechaine masse jump shot! Would love to see a breakdown on that one.
Hey Dylan! I think I know what that one is, but do you have a link?
@@KAMUIBRAND Yes! It’s played when Mike is down 3-2 in this match th-cam.com/video/8ZOoB9gOOQY/w-d-xo.html
@@KAMUIBRAND Be great to see you try this Jimmy White masse shot on a 12ft table. 😉

Missed you Rollie
Hey you gave up on the US Open thing Rollie! Did you have too much time to realize how crazy it was during lockdown? :)
Nice
Do a snooker episode Ronnie you coward!!
Back in the day Tony Drago was an amazing pool player
Love from india man
Pool players would score very little playing snooker.
Will you continue making pool content?
What are you using to mark the spots?
The thing is, snooker players can't afford to miss, for them a miss is straight up forfeit
Could the fact that the guy is Left-Handed have to do with the difficulty of making the ball go to his right? Or the handedness is completely negligent on this shot?
Does someone know why Rollie stopped posting those clips?
The difference between your table and the table where Jimmy hit his shot is that the professional table has different rubbers...
