Awesome. Made me literally LOL when you did it. I grew up with pool tables in our basement as a kid on Chicago's NW Side and was seen as pretty damned good. I could hold my own against some regulars, but I've never seen this kick-shot made. In that scenario, I might have tried for a safety shot off the 8 that put the cue ball at the farthest opposite corner from me...and then 🙏.

He’s missing the ball by a millimeter, with spin, then after the rail, it will kick off and hit it in perfectly. That’s an awesome shot. I always said:”It’s all in the cue contact or English”
@leh38272 ай бұрын
The key is to aim the cue ball slightly at the object ball so the 'deflection effect', caused by striking the cue ball on the right side (right hand english) changes the direction of the cue ball enough to move it to the left and fully onto the rag.
@gerryspiro39454 ай бұрын
I learned this shot in the late '60s but on the long rail and using low English with the spin. Back then there weren't any low deflection shafts and even more compensation had to be taken into consideration.

The only problem with using low inside spin instead of just inside spin is you can't quite put the same amount of extreme spin that this shot requires sometimes. Using low with the sidespin does however help the cueball curve back a little after the squirt.

I had a pool table growing up, and taught myself a lot of shots, including this one. But I never knew about the cue ball deflecting due to the off center strike. I guess I just adjusted for that. But now when I shoot on another table with unfamiliar cue sticks I know to test that to see how much the cue flexes. Many thanks for that great tip!! Edit: Liked and subbed. 😀

You can do from an even more extreme angle if swerve it, but the the issue that is you have hit it with so much power with millimeter precision just knock the object ball along the cushion with the thinnest of cuts. The shot is most likely to be played if you're ball is near a rail cushion and the object ball is inches from the pocket and tight on the cushion. Good luck ever pulling off that shot in a pressure situation.

You might get away with that a couple of times on a pool table with wider pockets that are cut with angled cushions to accept the object ball, but no chance on a UK pub pool table with narrower pockets with rounded cushions or on a full size 12 x 6 snooker table. 😂

@blackboardblokeАй бұрын
@@Regoriroger Agreed, UK pool and snooker table pockets have rounded cushion openings if they don’t just graze them, they bump between and just sit over the pocket, so a right angled shot is not on, but very doable at less steep angles. On the table in the demo, the pocket has a flat cushion that steers the ball into the pocket.

If this was actually in a competitive game whoever was shooting would go off the end rail and come back and it would be called two banks you would hit the rail a second time just before it hit the black.. also if you were smart you would hit the end rail with a tiny bit of inside English to straighten the ball out before it came down to contact second rail and then contact the black..

Wait a doggone hairy-legged minute!! In other videos you said left spin on the cue ball makes object ball go to the right, right spin on the cue ball makes object go left. I know I heard you say that- you repeated it three or four times. So, if the desired pocket is to the right of the object ball, you would want left spin on the cue ball, not right spin. True? 😊
@RegorirogerАй бұрын
I don't think you understand the physics of this shot. He definitely explained it correctly. Right hand spin makes the cue ball go off the rail to the right. What you misunderstood was when he was talking about deflection. Deflection always occurs in the opposite direction of the spin. Right hand spin makes the cue ball deflect to the left, and vice versa. This does not change the spin though. Right hand spin is always going to make the ball spin to the right.

Very confusing. It's called right hand spin but the cue ball spins left [ counter clockwise ]? In the UK this would be called "running side" because the object ball is accelerated by the side. Interesting to see it used for trick shots instead of cue ball positioning / pace control like in Snooker. Different objective I suppose
@RegorirogerАй бұрын
He never says anything about the ball spinning to the left. When you put right hand spin on a cue ball it deflects to the left, and vice versa. Deflection and cueball spin are two different things.
