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!

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.

Happy Endings

This is a great example of a set up shot on the pool table. The four red balls go in four different pockets with the cue ball nicely set up to pot the black with the next shot.
