Explaining the bottle trick on Sky Sports
The first two episodes of the 2012 World 8 Ball Pool Championship programmes have now hit the screens of Sky Sports here in the UK.
The first episode featured the Women’s final between Sue Thompson (Scotland) and Sharon Wright (England), programme number two presented the first Men’s team final – England v Wales.
While I was in Blackpool introducing the players and teams into the World Championship Arena, I also filmed a number of segments for the television production. The first two of these have now been shown as part of the programmes. In ‘Steve Daking’s Masterclass’, so far I have explained a little about the break shot in English Pool and last week I performed a trickshot with some balls balance on top of a bottle – I even manged to pot a couple too!
In future episodes I will be talking about how spin works after it’s applied to the cueball, and performing a very quick trickshot.
