Ok, so this is the same concept as the last shot- it's one of those illegal push shots! Except on this one you will need to hit it harder and go 3 rails with the cue ball. I've seen this shot set up like 20 different ways. My husband, Stefan, sets the 5 balls way further out from the short rail, but for my stroke, this is where I need to put the set up. I've left the cue on the table to show you how we set up the row of 5 balls so they are straight. I put the middle ball right in the middle of the short rail. Because of where my cue lies on the table during set up, I place the 5 ball in the corner after the set up of the other balls. As in ALL resistance draw shots all 5 balls must be frozen!!
So look at the english I've put on this shot. WAY bottom right, to spin around the table clockwise as you're standing at the shot. Sometimes people look at this shot and think that left spin gets you around the table... no... common mistake... think.. the cue ball is coming back at you. Push right through the cue ball. I aim at where I've placed the chalk. You may have to play with aim and set up, but I'm sure you will all get this one!! You only have to make the 4 and 5 ball on this shot.
As a side note, I was attempting this shot in competition (the 2008 Masters I think) and made the 1, 2, 3, and 4 ball, but missed the 5 ball by about a half inch. Dr. Cue says from the crowd "She should get something for making all four of those balls!" It's actually VERY rare for the four to go and come that close to the fifth. I just wish that fifth had dropped!!!
