By the creators of “50 cheap billiards excuses” and “20 thoughts that make us fail”, today is the turn to review the 30 greatest snares of the billiards. In other words, what annoys us the most, what rabies gives us and what we most hate billiard players. Whether in the heat of the championship or during training, there are a number of situations that get us out of our squares. Admit it, you have also lit yourself sometime for the moments that come next. To laugh at ourselves, it's time to review all those frustrations. There are 30, but there could be 300.
1- Enter the white when breaking
2- You miss the cues at the airport.
3- Put a good ball with jump shot but enter the white.
4- Make three consecutive fouls in Ball 9.
5- Striking the butt with the table inadvertently (and leaving a mark).
6- Losing in the previous round of the prizes.
7- Win a rival in the double ko and lose against the same in the ko direct.
8- They ask you if you have won when you have lost.
9- When it comes to playing with someone who has always won.
10- Make a perfect match and leave the 10 on.
11- Let the tip jump out
12- Buy a 314 and it turns out to have problems
13- Have to play with the white without red dots.
14 - Start at 12 when your party was scheduled for 10.
15- When they tell you that you won because you got lucky.
16- See how the ferrule gradually takes the dreaded blue tone.
17- That the rival does not say a clear fault.
18- That in the good, the rival puts the nine in when breaking.
19- In a training you made a great a play and realize that you were not filming it.
20- Being unable to finish Darren Appleton's exercises.
21- When the Magic Rack wrinkles.
22- Make a fault because the chalk has fallen on a ball.
23- Raise from 6-1 to 6-6 and lose 7-6.
24- See how the cue is falling to the ground and you can not do anything to save it.
25- Suffer a kick.
26- Failing the black of 147 like Thepchaiya Un-Nooh.
27- Score one of the best shots in history (like this one by Deuel) and then watch as the white approaches dangerously to the middle hole until it falls.
28- Losing six consecutive years in the Mosconi Cup.
29- To think that you are going to make a mess and make a mess.
30- They tell you that billiards is a sport of vagrants.
In short, patience and humor. Whenever you experience any of these situations, remember this post and get a smile. Although sometimes it seems that the rival has very good luck and that the happy Murphy puts everything against us. Remember the most important thing: the billiards is to enjoy, not to annoy.
