Nonsense. The infantile drawings prove nothing. The cue ball has left the area before the cue completes its follow through. The white cannot react in the way it did if the cue tip, cue ball and object ball are all in contact at the same time - further proof of no push shot here.
You say: "The cue ball has left the area before the cue completes its follow through." That is an incorrect statement. Unfortunately, I can't prove it using freeze-frame because the frame rate is so low. So we just have to rely on good old physics. The white will not have left the area because it will have slowed down considerably due to hitting the black ball.. because there is a transfer of energy to the black. The black ball would not move away otherwise. Where else does it get its energy from? This transfer of energy and consequent slowing down of the white always happens so there will ALWAYS be a double contact when A is greater than B.. and a push if the object ball goes in the hole because of timing.. To say otherwise one would have to subscribe to cognitive dissonance 🫤
@@PatrickRyan147 sorry my friend, simply not possible for the white to react this way if tip , white and black are all in contact. If you have experience in playing snooker, you would know this.
You say: "Simply not possible for the white to react this way etc." Again, you appear to be a master of the incorrect statement today, I'm terribly sorry to say. A lot of people incorrectly think that a push will cancel spin on the white. And it will if the second contact is a literal push. But if the second contact is a well-timed jab then it will actually increase spin. A good analogy is: Think of a basketball player spinning the ball on his finger and he increases the spin by constantly thwacking the ball with his other hand. Same principle! It's funny: Every time I look at this clip, I see a perfectly timed push shot. You know.. the black flies into the pocket and the white lands on the next red with very little movement of the cue. Timing! But perceptions and infantile (but accurate) graphics aside, A is still greater than B and the white will always slow down due to the transfer of energy. You know.. that's the 'smoking gun' right there.. you can't argue with physics.. unless you subscribe to cognitive dissonance of course 🙂
@@Knightlore10 you are right mate, this guy is the definition of dunning kruger effect. He does have a few that are valid, but many are cut shots where the cue it traveling through the empty space, he doesn't seem to have any experience with how a cue ball actually behaves in real life when double hit. Double hit would deflect the ball off its natural angle or would add forward momentum after the hit, and that just didn't happen here. Can't tell if this guy is clueless or just trolling for clicks and comments
@@AdamMarromG.. it's basic physics.. the first law of thermodynamics: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be transferred. Even on angled shots, there is a transfer of energy from the white to the object ball. Where do you think the object ball gets its power from? Answer: The white. You know.. if the white hits the object ball at 30 mph.. and the two balls are at an angle..then both balls will move away from each other at around 15 mph each (barring air resistance and cloth resistance). 15 + 15 = 30 It is this unavoidable slowing down of the white that always allows the cue to catch up for a second contact when A > B. It's not rocket science (well, maybe just a little, lol).
Oh, my bad.. (RIP Norm) A push shot happens when the cue contacts the white exactly when the white contacts the object ball. This all happens in a split second of course.. but it should be easy to identify if you just follow the advice given in the video: If A is greater than B and the ball goes in the hole then it has to be a push shot.

Gentleman Joe, my arse 😅
I was 'on the fence' about this one but you can clearly see that A is greater than B. It's so simple, why has no-one considered this technique before?
There's a first time for everything, I suppose 😊
No-one has considered this technique because it's nonsense 🙈😂

Maybe you should define what a push shot is for the people at home (RIP N.M.).
