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. |

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! |
