Field hockey. The tomahawk.



Not the best quality video but it gives a great POV.

Baseball - an outfielder climbing the wall to rob a home run.
- a shorstop going deep into the 5 1/2 hole and throwing out a runner at 1st.
- a collision between a catcher and base runner at home plate.
- game winning walk-off home run.
- any play by Mike Trout.

Now that I think about it....

RUGBY UNION: The process for a scrum....CROUCH, TOUCH, SET, Collapsed Scrum, Penalty, Penalty Goal!

Cricket: the slips catch, especially after a good build-up where the edge is beaten a few times first

Association Football: nothing beats a solid header meeting a well delivered cross and going into the top corner, away from the scoring a player who takes on and beats a couple of tacklers can be scintillating

Golf: definitely the chip-in, particularly from a bunker or tough lie

Tennis: unfortunately the power game is now probably the sport's signature, even if it makes for dull viewing it is the sport now

Cycling: the attempt at a break in a sprint finish

Basketball: the alley-oop

Gymnastics: Rick Disneck plowing into the vaulting horse ----ing hard each week on the show

Athletics: the start of the 100m

Watch 2:30

Surely the last out to a perfect game is the height a Baseball Awesomeness


Oh yeah and this..

Gotta love that one....the one handed backhand down the line, either the short backswing punch type, or the big backswing one.

Also the running forehand top-spinner across court or down the line beating the man at the net is alongside that.

There just simply isn't a better feeling then hitting a running forehand passing shot for a winner. In any sport. Period

Big call. This thread highlights many signature moments. Clean bowling a batsman must feel awesome for instance.

agreed, each to his/her own

I'd go for hitting a round, dimpled ball into a small hole personally. Infinitely more difficult and therefore much more satisfying.

The way shane warnes body did a leg break on release of a big leggie and then the late drift and drop before the ball mirrors on landing what he did on release.

For hockey I would say a big hip-check into the boards. Maybe a great glove save.

My post was a bit tongue-in-cheek, it obivously comes down to personal preference. Although more dififcult doesn't necessarily mean it's more satisfying. Don't discount the difficulty of hitting a running forehand either but the rush of adrenalin after hitting one isn't topped (again obivously personal perference and bias noted) and that's including a couple of chip-in's I have done on the golf course

I imagine just finishing a marathon would be satisfying in itself.
