    1 for the golfers

    A golf ball hitting a steel plate at 150mph - filmed in super high-speed at 70,000 frames-per-second and played back in slow-motion.

      Think I'll sell the golf clubs and buy a cue stick. The competition looks good.

        There are just far too many things I could say about that right now. BTW Gang I played in semi pro competitions in Las Vegas IN 92 + 96 in what you see now on the tube in BCA and APA league competition. I'm no slouch on the table and have personally played against Minnesota Fats and other pro's,Fats beat me in a 9-ball competition exhibition game with a broom stick handle quite easily. However I did win the Ga. Amateur title in 9 ball 2 yrs straight and our team placed 9th overall out of 565 international teams in Vegas in 96.I also beat Steve Mizerak in a 9-ball tournament here in Atl. in 1998 to win 5K and an assortment of stick,case's and a nice 8ft table, which is what we play on in competition in Vegas, just like the small baroom tables you see everywhere. I prolly should get a lathe and try my own but a local guy here a retired cabinetmaker make some of the best cues in the business in Woodstock, Ga out of a small shop behind his house Danny Tibbetts, also a fierce competitor on the tables. http://www.dannytibbittscues.com/index.htm

          While the golf ball was easier to understand (unbelievable, almost - that change of shape), the pool display escaped me until I saw it a second time; somehow I kept getting distracted the first time, dunno why...

                Probably married to her, and po'd her earlier, so she kept her mouth shut.
                She couldn't tell the difference between the escape pod, and the bathroom. We had to go back for her.........................Twice.

                  Some cool shots, but I wouldn't let any woman with high heels on my table... unless she was...naked.
