Tight Double| This is very much like the shot that Paul Newman plays at the beginning of "The Hustler". The red ball is frozen to the rail with the cue ball almost touching. It looks impossible for the red to get past the cue ball and into the opposite corner pocket, but it can be done. Watch and learn! |

Clever Shunt| This was one of the first trickshots I mastered. I forgot everything about it until recently when I tried it again. It was trickier than I remembered! It's a shot that is easier on a snooker table or an American Pool table because of the pocket to cushion ration. On the small English Pool table, you have to be precise with the set-up and execution to make it all happen – best of luck! |

Alcatraz| This week's trickshot is a classic. Pot the Black ball from within the group of yellows. Once you know the set-up this is a very reliable shot, so it's often used in a pool exhibition. |
