Trying the Alex Pagulayan impossible jump shot | Your Average Pool Player Live 

Alex seems like such a friendly and genuine guy. Bless him

Meeting Efren should be the final boss quest

Ok, I started shooting pool thirty years ago and I've watched pros on tv and I never knew until now that this is possible.

he hit it 5 times in a row!

3:13 The guy in the background is learning almost as much as Rollie is.

Title: IMPOSSIBLE Him: nails it 5 times in a row

This is by far my favorite of what Rollie has tried so far. Shows there is like a super computer attached to these pros' minds.

Hahaha 5:13 "when I look at the shot, you know one of those moments" -average player "No I've never had that feeling" 😂

is it weird that i enjoy this channel so much even tho i don't play pool?

I started playing pool when I turned 40. I've been keeping notes from being a very poor player to mediocre with the thought of sharing my journey. After seeing Rollie, I think my tag line should be, "hello, I'm not Rollie and I'm not your average pool player." Love your videos. Thank you for sharing!

I think it makes the most sense and explains what's amazing about it if you call it the Alex Pagulayan double jump shot. Or impossible double jump shot.

Pagulayan's goal: to put some more draw in it Rollie's goal: to just make the shot My goal: to hit the cue ball without getting a foul

You may think this is a low percentage shot, but this world champ here made it 5 out of 5 times.. I think they play different percentages

I've been a sub for a long time.i gotta say your channel just level up leaps and bounds.congrats!

WTH! I’ve played for years, but never seen anyone do that before... New skillset to learn!!!

Alex is like a "Tito" (uncle in Filipino) who tries to speak fluent english but ends up having an accent. Hahaha

Here’s an idea for a video. Interview the great players. Then show them their famous shots and ask them, at that moment what was going through their mind. I really want to know how they think

4:50, sound like Alex is crying

Pagulayan is an absolute legend of the game, super impressed that you got to hang out with him dude 👍

Alex is my favorite pool player, I loved meeting him in Chattanooga Tennessee years ago. Super humble guy.

This is one of my favorite shots ever.

when will you meet efren? :D

I remember seeing this guy on TSN in the 90's and saying to myself he's the best player I've ever seen.

This for me is the most impressive shot of the series. I didn't even know about this sort of shot, what a legend to do this in a ranking tournament.

Now try this, same style shot except as a bank. Bank the object ball into the rail, it jumps off the rail and over a blocker ball into the pocket. Taught to my by Jerry Breiseth a few years ago. A passer by told Jerry it was impossible and bet Jerry $20. Jerry made it first try.

I showed a guy this shot once and his response was "probably never come up in a real game". In the 3 years since I've used it about 10 times

I've never seen a shot like this! Incredible!

I did not know this kind of a shot was voluntarily possible. Amazing!!!

This is a great shot. I can do it too now, but had no idea about it until I saw this video.

Getting better every video. Keep it up hoss

I wonder how many times it would’ve taken you to make it without his help... that shot is nuts

Tip: The angle of the cue stick will tell how high the cue ball will jump when you stroke it to the center downwards, so you must analyze the distance between the object ball and the cue ball. The center of reference is the cue ball the angle of the cue stick is equal to the hit on the object ball...

MORE OF THIS SERIES PLEASE!!!!

Please do this often if possible I love this so much.

I do like your behaviour but you gotta put a smile with someone like alex pagulayan , laugh with him..enjoy the great moments you have with this star.

So awesome these videos you do! Keep up the great work!!

My only complaint is that there isn’t more of these videos.

This opens up a lot of possibilities.

Filipinos man 😏 efren Reyes genes 😏

This shot is effing crazy!!! 😯

Nice... keep it up plz m8 I love your video's your really are teaching all of us by showing us the tips and tricks the world can learn from you

when I watched the shot for the first time I though Alex was just try to get position for the 8 ball, then I found out the 14 did not pass the 1 my mind was blowed

05:53 Rollie died inside

Imagine if Efren and Alex had a game of killer, it would last days I think. This shot is on another level, in the type of pool I play we can't jump the cue ball intentionally. Jumping the object ball too is just ridiculous. Alex seems like a nice guy too, like almost every Canadian I've ever met.

One of my top 5 pool players in the world

Its really insane doing those shot during tournament ...

When your in zone, its automatic.. Preparation.... Good vid(as always)..

Bring this series back

love the videos Rollie keep it up super entertaining and interesting to watch

Wow this is the first time i see this kind of shot.

Fantastic.... Really interesting video...

We miss the average pool player series!

Alex seems like such a cool guy tbh

Love your videos

Love your vids on kimui brand and your channel

Great vids. Love the in depth look and breakdown of each shot you cover. You also get to meet all these great pros. I've met a few playing the joss tour tourneys at snookers in R.I.

Do a django bustamante break video 🙏🙏

I found this shot in match from 1988, so this is old school skills ;)

I just saw the previous lion video and here's your upload

Alex is a surprisingly nice guy!

He needs to understand that you can inject MASS into a shot without increasing the speed. One way to do it is to grip the cue a little tight but there's the risk of generating a "punchy" stroke. The trick to this shot is to generate enough mass upon contact to trigger the hop. Then, with a smooth enough but relatively moderate speed cue action, he'll be able to generate enough down spin on the cue ball to draw it back. With this shot, a long "pull back" isn't necessary because you don't need the cue ball to go fast. You just need weight to trigger the hop. The same goes for the follow through because there's only so much distance available. If one can understand how "injecting mass" into a cue ball works, the number of lines you can play will greatly increase. Your kicking game will increase drastically too because knowing how to control mass will greatly open up more kicking routes, not to mention greater consistency in running the same kicking paths.

Alex Pagulayan seems like a really nice dude.

I’m definitely gonna try this

Hey Rollie been watching your stuff for a long time. Would you ever be up to meet for a couple games and a couple lessons? I’m hitting my plateau and would love to learn some better tricks to improve with

And to do that in a tournament . Wow

You should change all the shots made by the pros in the intro into your shots as you slowly make all of them

Two lovely guys with cue stick

Most insane shot ever

AMAZING IF YOU COULD DO IT ONE TIME IN A REAL MATCH. OUTSTANDING.

Awesome sir just awesome

When you're styling down at your local hall and Pagulayan walks in

I say the same in my shot thoughts... If i think I can I'll try it.

Pure Awesomeness!

Cant believe l never knew such a shot was possible.

Alex is unreal 😳😳😳

Amazing.

Alex is the son of God..the junior version of Efren..who is the Godfather of Pool

Visit Corey Deuel please....... And try his legendary shot in 2002 Mosconi Cup...

Hey could you try some of Ronnie O’Sullivans safety shots?

Jump shots are for those who can't kick at a ball. Strickland is right. Jump shots were never allowed until recently and should be outlawed. And, did I mention, jump shots quickly damage pool table cloth by leaving burn marks.

What the hell, just saw this under different title.

This skill is very common in pool but you need to get more basic skill then practice this jump skill will be easy.

So impressive

0:03 What the video is about

Meet the magician in the Philippines:)

So skilled

Try the jeffrey de Luna draw shot the one that he does against jason shaw

Is in Amsterdam billiards??

Man, Alex is nuts. But, in a good way. Lol

Best shot i think....beesstt

Totally random question. I just got a new kamui tip on my cue (professionally I’m too bad to do it) and was wondering can I shape the tip w a cuetec tip tool ?

I do these all the time. They are just terribly hard to make consistently . just an edge is the easiest obliviously

Try the eferen Reyes shot from 2004 where he does a 4-rail bank plz

What pool hall is that? It doesn’t look like Society?

You should try some snooker shots.

I have captions on and i saw alex packet lion hahahah

I can only imagine howmany tries it would take him if alex wasn't there coaching him. Ahahahah

I rehabilitate dogs, I train pool players. I am Caesar Malaysian

You guys chewed up the green a bit... ;-)

You got it only in 6 tries because the one who make that shot teach you personally.
