First of all hello everyone, Im an old time Fooser never played in any tournaments but was pretty much the best in my area bar crowds.
Anyway I'm not up with the lingo really but I have mastered (right hand) what we call the pull shot, push shot, rear "toe" Push and pull shots", Front "toe" pull and push shots, tic tac passing, Bank shots etc...
Well one shot we use I am not even sure is legal so I really don't use it much.
It starts as a strait push shot from the middle 3 man, as you are pushing the ball the left hand come off the 5 man bar pushing down on the 3 man bar(while the right hand is still on the 3 man bar). The 3 man completes a full rotation but is not left to spin around loosely. Of course all this is done very quickly and many times it is faked all together and a regular push shot is preformed.
Anyway, when the shot is completed is it legal?
Thanks in advance for your information.
Edit: Well I think I found out (from this forum) what the shot is technicaly called.
Alien (shot), The:
A novelty shot in which the ball is moved on a rod intended for the right hand (2-bar or 3-bar, and in singles the 5-bar also), but upon being shot, is shot by cranking the rod with the left hand. Usually done with the 3-bar. See also "crank (shot)"
