Make Two, Go 4, Make another

I know, I know! It's been like forever!! But Summer is over and here's some more shots!!

This is a good shot here! Anytime you use props.. the crowd loves it! Here the 3 ball is up on a piece of new chalk. You want to use new chalk because the 'well' (indentation) isn't deep, so the slightest hit knocks the ball off. The 2 ball is on the foot spot. The 1 ball is frozen to the 2 ball, lined up to the left hand side of the corner pocket that the 2 ball goes into. The 3 ball is on a piece of chalk 3/4 to 1/2 diamonds above the corner pocket. The cue ball is between the 2nd and 3rd diamonds on the long rail and 1 to 1 1/2 diamonds on the short rail. The cue ball is considered 'in hand' on this shot, so you may adjust it freely. The 3 ball on the chalk is also free to move.


To make this shot, you need top right (running) english on the cue ball with a slightly more than medium speed. The hit on the 2 ball should be thin so that the majority of the ball speed stays with the cue ball. More typically than not, players come up short on this shot (the cue ball hits the long rail before the 3 ball.) Keep all the variables the same (english, speed...) and just move the cue ball until you find the spot that allows your stroke to make this shot. GOOD LUCK!
