Child’s Play

Another simple shot that is used in other more elaborate shots. However, there is something elegant about the simple set-up and the way the balls find their ways into tthe pockets.  You need to do some work to get the cue ball in too!

caticonslite_bm_alt 3 Clear

This Pool Trick forms the basis for some other shots. The principle of potting two balls set near the middle pocket by playing across the face of the outer ball is used in many other tricks, and so is the idea of taking the cue ball around the table from that position. You need practice and a reasonably good table to pull this one off.
