- Gav and Dan have never been immensely happy with the kind of break a pool cue can provide, so they try something a little more serious.

Chads
Epic
pure strength
absolutely mental break lad
Someone please make that a gif😂
Truth be told, the outro with Dan doing his break looked really epic
Tomorrow on Daily Dose of Internet...
That one's gonna GIF well
It did! Even better than his hero pose in the giant balloon
quick upload it as a short
Post apoplectic pool.
I'm honestly still a little blown away that the black ball happened to stay on the table after that.
Not to mention the pocketed balls :O
"blown away" groan
That felt racist 🤣🤣🤣
Being in the center, the eight ball dispursed it's energy into more balls and, thanks to equal and opposite reaction, had a higher chance of staying relatively put...
I'm not a scientist, what I wrote above is an utter guess and my actual answer is that's just how skilled Dan is at pool.
well you had to finish the game
I absolutely love this channel. Why? Because it still is what it was a decade ago. Two guys filming themselves doing stuff in slow motion. Doesn't get more genuine than this.
yeah deffinitly one of the few survivors who sticked to their guns and just do what they love :P
Props to finding new ways to do the same thing for a decade and still finding content.
And also not making their videos 2 hours long to farm ad breaks has got to be worth a huge shout out. Slow motion guys will still be here when a lot of the bigger UA-cam channels have died after driving all their viewers away.
a vry simple premise that has made this channel a youtube staple: "dude, i wonder what this would look like in slow-motion"
just guys bein dudes
"Let's just move the pool table over here" *Snap cut of them standing in between the table and the canon with MAYBE 3 meters in between* "Yeah, that is a lot closer" was very topgear-esque and it really tickled me
yes indeed... Top gear :D
that's just what always happens when you put a couple of british guys together and give them a crazy idea
Oh my gods, that cannon perspective gag was _FLAWLESSLY_ executed. Hahaha!
It was great! I totally fell for it.
🎱😅👍
First it was Angory Tom, then it was Zullie, now it's Slo Mo Guys. Stop watching the same things as me Pierce, I'm getting scared.
I need a GIF of it
@@TheMirksta It just means that we both have exceptional taste in UA-cam content.
Dan's ability to precisely hit targets with the most ridiculous arsenal is unparalleled.
dude perfect is a student of Dan
So RL ussope from one piece
Dan taught Chuck Norris how to aim.
Royal Marines. Hundreds of years of badassery personified.
@@blobfish. woah woah woah there, pardner.
10:58 they were both walking perfectly in sync
Ohh how did you get that🤭
It’s because they are clones made by the Illuminati to distract us. Open your third eye!
1:10 as well lmao
The British way of life
i heard a long time ago that this is very common with friends especially if they are having a conversation while walking. Ever since then I can't unsee it.
The dragonfly experiencing turbulence at 6:29 😂
Why did I think that was a bird 🤣
In the words of Lythero/PaperBoxHouse/AlfredSnapcube, "This s--t tastes like TURBULENCE!"
Imagine being a dragonfly minding your own business and you nearly get shot out of the air by those damned monkeys up to their antics again.
yeah came for that, dragonfly like 'oh apparently I'm flying in a warzone I DIDN'T KNOW'
I love how the first shot went exactly how Gav predicted and the next shot went exactly how Dan predicted.
They were also both perfectly aligned for it - missed the table by the smallest possible hair to avoid totally smashing it, and hit the ball completely dead on.
Maybe the hitting shot happened before they prediction shot!
Am I right?
@@soroushsafarzadeh8321 ooooohhh...
I hadn't thought of that.
@@soroushsafarzadeh8321 the table was still intact when they made the predictions though
@@bluetoothpasteman5022 While I do think they made the predictions before the events, just fyi they probably had multiple tables as a just in case
10:58 perfect walk synchronisation - these two been hanging out with each other for too long
was looking for this comment. lol
Even when they started slowing down, they still held perfect pace with each other until Dan decided to walk a little further.
Everyone needs a friend they're this in-tune with.
ooooooh nice catch!
At 1:08 too!
it's like it was setup, but they were reacting so it couldn't be? so funny
12:20 is the break. Around twenty years ago I was playing pool at a friend’s house, in his basement. On my second break of the night, the cue flew up in the air several feet and split in half, almost dead middle. The top half flew past my friend’s head and the bottom half hovered in the air for a split second. It landed on the middle of the table and spun, just like a top, for what seemed like a minute but was at least 20 seconds or more. I’ve been playing pool for over 40 years and have never seen anything like that before and haven’t since. He doesn’t have that table anymore but the cue ball is still down there on his shelf.
🐐
Playing a tie-breaker in a tournament many moons ago, my opponent broke, after striking the 1-ball, the cueball went straight up, shattered the stained glass light above the table, came down and landed on the 8-ball (which had pretty much stayed stationary until then) and, despite the debris that was falling on the table, sank it in the side pocket. I conceded the game and yelled, "Cleanup, table seven!" 😏
I learned very quickly that I shouldn't break at an angle as I had a knack for launching the queball after contacting the first ball and people in the bar I used to play in quickly learned to avoid 1 particular bar stool as that is where the queball would land every time after the first nutshot no one would sit in that stool when I broke at an angle and let's just say that guy drank alot that night as I bought all of his beers the rest of the night
@@spike3082 Similar thing way back as a teen; I was breaking off. A mate, that wasn't part of the game, was sat on a bench the other end of the table, legs akimbo, chatting up a girl as he always did. This was one of the coolest, best looking guys in school btw. Anyway, I accidentally chipped it over the pack and got him right in the taters just as he tried to catch it at the last split second! Everyone in the bar was in tears, esp the lad that copped it. lol
These 2 silly best friends geeking over slow motion and physics are a huge part of my childhood I love them!!!
"best friends"
I love that even though these two have been doing these videos for so many years, we don't detect anything jaded or bored about their attitudes. They still are just so delighted by whatever the results are.
I agree but on the other hand thats the magic of tv, you can pick and choose and retake...
I love how they are still awkward in front of the camera doing their skits after all these years.🥰
And even after all this time this one was literally 12:37... jawdropping.
That's why they are still giving us all of those great videos.
They did forcibly have to take a long break from doing stuff together, pretty good for recharging motivation
And when the dust settles and the ringing in all the patron's ears died down, Big Jim emerged from the wreckage of the bar and said "Right, then. I'm stripes. Your shot."
Everybody knows you don't mess around with Jim
@@jackbelinski6460solid reference
@wouldiwasshookspeared4087
Just think, if Big Jim hadn't tried to hustle Slim he might still be driving around in that old drop-top Cadillac
*insert quagsire screaming*
Hey, hey Tom...
You should animate Dan doing the break that crumbles the cue ball
That hit couldn’t have been cleaner. Great shooting, Dan.
the fact that they almost potted the 8 ball off break makes this so much better
Wow. I honestly believe this is peak UA-cam. These guys have been at it for so many years and yet they still put out instant classics like this one. There's just something about seeing the power of physics in slow motion that gets me excited every time. Bravo
My thoughts exactly. It's an unbeatable combination of great footage, science and a great, laid back sense of humour
@@retrovideoquest Mixed with high class professionalism and legitimately wholesome fun
As someone that plays League pool, and likes antique cannons, this video could not be more perfect. I cannot believe how cleanly you hit that with a freaking cannon.
As someone who plays league pool, I thought you would be one to mention that it's not actually a cannon shot, it's a common mispronounced term but actually called a carrom shot
@@pferguson2212 tbf, this IS a cannon shot
@@pferguson2212 In England, "carrom" and "cannon" shot is pretty much interchangeable tho. Carroms, cannons, billiards, oh my!
This is maybe the geekiest comment I’ve read this week and I f-king love it 😂
@@pferguson2212 As someone who plays league pool, I'm surprised you're not familiar with British pool (and snooker) terms. Brits call a combination shot a cannon. They also call a bank shot a "double". A carom shot is a different thing. A carom is where the cue or the object ball makes a glancing blow off another ball as it goes to the intended destination.
i can't stop laughing and being blown away at the same time, this is soo fascinating
And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Psalm 50:15 ✝🌅
He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain: So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. Job 33:18-20 ✝🌅
The best part of y'all's videos is the genuine reactions. Seeing the absolute joy the both of you feel is so wholesome.
I have to say, the slow mo is obviously always cool, but whenever Dan turns on "Army mode" it's a real treat.
Yes, definitely!
Yeah, I'd never guess that recoil happens after the ball leaves the cannon..
@@RichChh yeah I also did not know. But if we think about it for a sec 🤔...
It is logical as other wise the bullet or Canonball would go not where you want it to be.
You know it will be a great video when Dan has to be in control for legal reasons
@@Ildarioon When the ball’s moving in the barrel, something’s gotta be moving backwards. Momentum is a conserved quantity and whatnot.
Dan having the same lab coat for 10+ years is so iconic.
Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness.
*God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.*
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.

That hit was so clean as well, Dan's aim is out of this world
10:42 I love how they just walk simultaneously
Change the timestamp to 10:58 and I think your comment would do much better and be a better experience. You have to wait like 16 seconds before you actually see what you are talking about.
@@chronicle8080 ty
Like an old married couple, so much time together, breeds similar behavior/ timing. 😂
Dan's wink and break at the end was brilliant.
I love your channel
agreed
The British artillery have contacted him - the need to enlist him for his aiming skills.
I love episodes where Dan gets to show off his munitions expertise. We always get to see Gav show of his optics and camera knowledge.
Thanks for watching you have been selected among the winner's for today contact me right now to claim*your prize*√√√√√√√√√√√√√√√🎊🎁🎁
1:32 I'm guessing Dan is good at estimating the distance from his time in the military. Then he goes on to more obviously pull from that training with the technical stuff about aiming. Love it.
The wink and the cut is perfect 👌🤣
Dan's wink at the end is just icing on the cake
The balls rolling into the pocket had such comedic timing. It's always amazing to see how much happens in just fractions of a second.
ok
ok
ok
ok
the second long range attempt really kicked me in the gut when the cue ball was pulling the gigachad magnus effect and flew away from the earth in a curve line
Legend has it, the cue ball is still orbiting earth.
One of the coolest and most entertaining UA-cam videos I’ve ever seen, thank you.
This was both awesome and hilarious!
Hello
Nic
Nice
Nice
Good
The joy on Dan's face at realizing he'd sunk two of them...
Made the video for me, lol.
Great job, guys. As usual.
Along with the shot of their faces when they were watching the footage back at 12:37. Perfection.
Elevating nerddom to the an impossible level to match. I'm insanely jealous.
10:59 The perfectly in sync walking is crazy
These two are going to be a heck of a grandpa combo. Like after a while their grandchildren will know it's a good story when it starts with "So one day Gav/Dan and I...".
It's even better. Gav has a brother so he's going to be a fun uncle as well.
They should do a super slow mo of their grandchildrens birth
I'm a regular pool player so I've always wondered what it would be like to have a REAL Cannon Break! Nice Job Great video!
The cue ball was "knuckling" because it wasn't spinning! Pretty amazing.
Gav and Dan's perfectly synced walk at 10:58 was arguably more satisfying than anything
Edit: Never mind he got two pockets
I saw that! Such good friends ☺️
@@micahpetersen2484 They did it earlier in the video too 1:07 something that naturally happens when you spend a lot of time with someone I suppose lol.
Even down to the arm swings!
How long have they been working together? Ten years?
@BradynLee09 Maybe they'll get more variety in the upcoming Slow Mo Guys: Edgerunners update
In all seriousness I feel pretty confident Dan is the first person in the world to sink two pool balls in the break with a cannon 😂
I think you underestimate the boredom, juvenile nature, and sheer bloody-mindedness of Napeoleonic-era officers :D
(Not to mention the availability of small-bore muzzle-loaded cannon, powder, and expertise...)
Sounds like the Guinness Book of Records 😁
Hi 👋
Ugh
Not to mention that because the cue ball never hit them, it was technically a cannon with a cannon done with a cannon.
That might be the coolest footage I've ever seen.
Den's accuracy as always on top😀
Dan @11:15 seeing he's potted 2 balls is maybe one of my favourite things on this channel, ever.
You could just feel his excitement of seeing a potted ball, and then the absolute joy of seeing that it was actually 2 balls 😂
He also scratched too!!! With that cue ball being unplayable!!! 😅
It has this amazing "double rainbow" vibes.
"2 balls in the pocket! What does it mean!"
This is really cool I love science the altitude the longitude the latitude of it it's just action taken I like the French for a second of all is going like you can actually see
Thats pure genuine excitement! 😅😂The two ohhh ohhh.. and then the loud one when he finds its two balls oooohhhh! Hahaha, hilarious. 😄👍🏻
11:14 Dan getting excited about potting two balls in one shot is the most amazing part of this video hands down. Change my mind.
What I love abt deze is how they’ve been doin slow mo’s for years and still tend to surprise us as well as dem selves
I have missed you guys, I was going through all your material up until 2020 and then pandemic, y'all kind of vanished and life moved on. 3 years later and I found your channel again as it was recommended to me. Miss watching your videos! Glad to be back watching again, as if nothing ever happened.
The flying bugs affected by the shockwaves in the wide shots are fascinating!
How privileged we are to have you guys share these wonders with us :)
Exactly, love the fact it dodges at 6:13 like "holy fat beetle batman!!!!!!" "Time to move, these bugs are getting to big for me"
If those bugs had a slightly different flight path they could have been utterly obliterated
@@TorvicIsSanta Luckily, dragonflies are absolute monsters when it comes to speed and maneuverability.
Your chemistry and entertainment is amazing! Thanks
Lots of trick shots out there, and this is my all time favorite! Absolutely perfect shot! Smashing results, quite a nice break too!
This episode probably went the most perfect out of all of the episodes. We got to see some cool physics, you got to blow stuff up, and of course, the ball hit square on and even sunk two balls at the same time. A deadeye shot if I've ever seen one. Congratulations Dan, you are now and forever more the champion of ballistic billiards.
Season 2 of Ballistic Pool: Slo Mo Guys vr Stuff Made Here vr Adam Savage/Tested.
It's not "sunk 2 balls", it's "potted 2 balls"
For some reason ballistic billiards has never caught on. Don’t know why.
@@pippipster6767 the spectators behind the cannon have fun much longer than the ones in front of it do 😁
The balls rolled in due to the gravity because the table was damaged….
That final clip of Dan's break is a cinematic masterpiece and arguably one of the best things ever recorded
Non-pornographic maybe. 👍
I’ve watched nearly all your vids, and I must say this one takes the crown 👑.
The most satisfying break I’ve ever seen in my life. Top notch.
god this is probably one of the coolest videos they've ever done (in like a 50-way tie)... the camera angles, the theming, even the editing joke was pristinely done, and the actual shots were perfect
Yeah they caught lightning in a bottle with this one.
The whole video was perfect, the commentary, everything
Perfect outro. These guys are consummate professionals.
Tamping the canon with a pool cue was pure class. Thanks again guys 😂
I haven't grinned like this in a while, good job lads!
Absolutley EPIC!!! Could not have been more perfect!!
I can't believe more people aren't talking about the absolute Chad of a dragonfly at 6:29 that flew face first into the shockwave of a pool ball going half the speed of sound and then just carried on about his day.
"Jaysus, that was loud. Anyway, y'all seen any tasty skeeters 'round here?"
Hahahah ,golden comment brother
Random question: are you Irish?
I thought that was a bird in the distance 😂😂😂
Dragonflies are chads, the most effective hunters on the planet with a catch rate of 95%. No one asked but there you go.
@@garrymcdonald5456 For context to show how awesome this is, wolves have a success rate of around 15%, and lions in a group have a catch rate of 30%. Dragonflies are truly exceptional!
These guys are the only youtubers that ever make me feel jealous of the job they created for themselves.
Living the dream.
Dude perfect?
@@stjepanhorvat8693 Didn't make him jealous I guess xD
Like Mythbusters but even more wacky
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ not a useful way to give the gospel at all
The humor of this video is amazing. xD That cannon intro. The table movement. The prediction. Supreme!
Thanks for this fella's, great idea and very entertaining and what a great location.
Seeing the still of the semi shattered cue ball dragged me in to watch.
Dan's aim with unorthodox projectiles never ceases to amaze me! well done
Gavin's amazed face at 12:37 is adorable LOL after all these years he still gets blown away with what they are able to achieve!
That frame could easily be a "What are they filming - Wrong answers only" thread on Reddit...
I LOVE the sound it makes when slow-mo is activated!
I keep rewatching your videos. They never get old! Great job, guys! Seriously, great job!
Okay that was crazy 🤣
try to one up this one 🤣
well. of course you would be here.

It’s super cool how all the energy was used in smashing the que ball and the 1 ball. For the most part, it was a relatively chill time for the other balls
I think it is spelled “cue ball”? Not certain
@@drdca8263 Yes, cue.
I was observing the same thing. The energy transfer was absolutely perfect
Today's forecast is relatively chill, with the chance of witnessing only two brutal disintegrations
What's not to love. Pretty much anything in slow-mo is awesome!
Thank you gentlemen for all of your videos!!
Dan's "Oh oh Oh!!" At 11:15 is officially my new favorite Daniel Gruchy moment and cements this in my top 3 favorite SMG videos
No matter how bad your day was
I will always enjoy your videos
my day exactly
I cannot believe the accuracy of Gav's first prediction, or the accuracy of Dan's shots
I've been rewatching a ton of Slo Mo Guys videos, and it is honestly very nice to see these shots again, even though I watched them not so long ago
Dans cheeky wink makes that last shot the best!😂
10:58 the way both of them walk in sync is satisfying
Y’all inspire me on the daily more than I could ever portray😅
This is insane. One of your best, most fun videos yet, in my not humble opinion.
After 12 years you'd think Gav and Dan would start running out of ideas, but nope. Its just banger after banger. Love this channel! great video!
Thank you Dan and Gav for carrying UA-cam for more than a decade :’)
the energy in two of you is amazing . the video didnt felt boring.
More importantly, it felt like a five minute video, not a sixteen minute video.
Tentatively gonna say that this might be my favorite episode.
This was a treat to watch. While in the military I was in artillery. What is really neat about his video is the curve balls it was firing, this was due to primary the shape of the round and no riffling. As the cue ball is coming out it super heated which makes it malleable, as it travels through the air, its hitting hot and cold air spots, that causes one side to snape back hints first curve, then the other snaps back an you get the other curve. Overall great thing to watch my eyes are pleased!
I don't know how much the temperature has to do with it, you see the same thing with knuckleball pitches.
@@forrest225 temperature has a lot do with it seeing that's exactly what birds use to fly... they rise with heat currents and dive in cold patches for maximum effect.
@@keith221191 A bird or glider thermalling has absolutely nothing to do with the instability of a sphere in flight.
@@forrest225 actually it does, a knuckleballer is controlled with said knuckles creating the spin where as a cannon uses heat due to not having any riffling like a barrel of a gun has to rotate the bullet.
@@keith221191 Knuckleballs aren't supposed to spin. The very quality a knuckleball is judged on is how little spin it has. Just watch some slow motion pitches. A good knuckleball might make 1 complete rotation, a great one won't even do that.
Dan now holds the world record for most pool balls made with a cannon
So happy that I saw the short first. Perfect teaser.
Had a greta time watching this. Thanks guys!
I love how Dan used the miniature pool cue as the ram for the cannon, so he's technically still using the cue to break, just instead of a bridge, he's got a cannon for the assist.
How about firing the cue out of the cannon to make the break ?
That final edit was so beautiful Gavin. It's honestly my favorite thing this channel has ever produced in all my years watching.
I think so too. It was perfectly integrated with the money shot and the end result is crazy.
Thank you
Congratulations. This is a new art form.
What a shot ! Absolutely incredible !
That low angle perspective to make the cannon look huge was well played. As was that final shot by Dan, of course.
The last couple seconds with Dan getting ready to break and giving that little wink, then cutting to the shot where all the balls start exploding is epic!
I'm glad they made and added that edit😂
That focus pull, too!
I love how you’re more fascinated by 2 pots rather than you annihilating 2 balls 😂
In my opinion, 2 pots are more fascinating than 1 pot, and much better than -2 balls.
Well, the annihilation was predictable. To think that they would be able to pot two balls with a 400Mh cue ball was not. So is legit.
ball breaking isn't something everyone likes
except for some people
@@alessandromerelli7221 well, they potted two balls because the table is way off level towards that pocket. I'm very impressed with the solid contact on the break with a cannon lol
ok
Ending is just like a cherry on top!
The slow mo camera is truly amazing!
That ending was gold 😂 16:16
That video was a pure Slow Mo Guys bona-fide masterpiece guys! 👌🧡
i hope this channel never changes, its just perfect
This video is actually one of the best
