Week9:How about TURKEY?

There are some terms in bowling.
The one which impressed me the most is the TURKEY. What is  TURKEY?
In the past, it is difficult to bowl a turkey so the resident in the country will eat turkey when bowling a turkey. BUT!!! WHAT IS turkeyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee???
Alright, turkey is a term which means bowling spear continuously three times. Sounding difficult, yeah, it is really difficult LOL. I have ever bowled a turkey once so far~~
In other country, the people even use the REAL TURKEY to bowl when celebrating.
Do you think it is unbelievable?? Shot by turkey!! I bet most of you have never seen that.
Turkey is common is high class competition. Following is a woman contest video.
What a performance!!
And you can watch turkeys in this video.
It seems easy playing by them, but it is the result of a lot lot of practice and depress.
We can admire their skill, but also remember to learn their spirit of never-giving-up!!

Week8:Bowling TRICK Sh0t

        Now, I am going to introduce the BOWLING~
        Bowling is not only for competition though, it is also for breakthrough lol.
        Bowling is like billiard, many people may think it is a bad activity for teenager. Or only bad guys would go to engage in this kind of activity.
        In the past, it is partly true because drug lords or violent incident might occur in these places. But time will change the environment. The surroundings of bowling have improved a lot. I am not kidding.
        First, I wanna show you the "TRICKs" in bowling. Of course, just like billiard, bowling has tricks too. Tricks make people happy, making them enjoying in the middle of participating.
        There is a group called "Dude Perfect", which screens many video about fun XD.
        They take bowling ball to the outdoor place, and I wonder the ball will be hurt or not. Why dare they do that. FINE, they have lots of money.
        However !!! PLEASE DON'T IMITATE THEM !!! THEY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED !!

Week7:Billiard Skill

        Today I want to introduce skills in billiards, including MASSE (曲球), JUMP SHOT (跳球), KISS etc.
        When I saw the JUMP SHOT first time, I was stunned. Many people including me have a wrong concept that jump shot is to pole the bottom of cue ball, but it is wrong!! Although it will make the same result, it  The right way to make a masse is to pole the upper part of the cue ball from a high angle. To get a "high angle", we need to raise hand's level. Following is a video showing that:
                                                           (SOURCE : YOUTUBE)
        The second technique is the MASSE, it is holy awesome too!!
        We pole the cue ball then the ball goes straight which is normal, how could they let ball go along with a curved line?? 
        Not to mention that when you make a masse and the targeted ball drops into the holes how pleased and excited you will be. There is a video about this:

Finally, what is KISS? Is that mouth to mouth? No you are wrong, it is ball very close to other ball!!
There is no benefit keeping on explaining this posture, no, the skill.
~~ENJOY the VIDEO~~

Week6:Trick Shots

There are many kinds of ways to playing billiards, if not, this game must be boring!

In Taiwan, eight-balls and nine-balls (sometimes fifteen-balls) are most common forms in pool room.
But these two are very "DIFFICULT". If you are just a beginner in billiard, these two are not kind for you. Because when you are playing with a proficient, you probably could't hit the balls many times.

Once you make a mistake, you might sit yourself until the proficient end this game because they have practiced the same postures hundreds of even thousands of times! However, making mistakes is also COMMON for them. Stability matters you are the winner or not.

Billiard also requires WISDOM and CREATIVITY. Why do I say so? You will know after watching the videos.

Then, "Trick Shots" is a recreation for those who play billiard, gradually, it becomes a form of competition. Its contain is funny, not formal rules. For example, let balls, maybe two or more, enter the holes within one shot. Following is one example for you. Hope this can broaden your horizon!
