Aritz Aranburu (EUK), 23, current ASP World No. 39, caused the upset of the event, eliminating reigning nine-time ASP World Champion Kelly Slater (USA), 37, in Round 2 of the Billabong Pro Tahiti. For Aranburu, it would mark his first heat win of the 2009 ASP World Tour season the young Basque surfer putting up an impressive 17.27 heat total to Slaterâs 15.00.
I had this shot about a year ago during a 128 ball run during practice. I was at 112 balls and came up short on my break bal position. This was the only shot option I had, and it worked. I posted about it in the azbilliards Straight pool forum and made a diagram - many people thought the shot was impossible - so I set it up a few days ago and tried it again - and I made it on the 2nd try.
