Backward Bank Shot

Bank/Kick Beginner

This is the shot Stefano Pelinga opened with in the 2000 Trick Shot Magic. With all of the balls frozen to the cushion, I bank the 3 ball backwards into the side pocket. This is a great example of spin transfer to the object ball. Learn how!

Two Step Twister

Trick/Fancy Intermediate

Here's yet another variation on Tim's Twister that I came up with. The 3 ball flashes to the side pocket as the 5 ball slowly rolls down the rail. The cue ball meanwhile kicks off the side cushion and pockets the 1 ball hanging in the corner, clearing the way for the 5 ball. Learn how!

Inside Escape

Bank/Kick Intermediate

This shot is similar to the Five Rail Escape except it's shot the other way. The cue ball is trapped between an object ball and the rail. Shooting in to the rail, the cue ball escapes out from behind the object ball going an additional four rails and pocketing the hanging ball in the corner pocket. Learn how!

Hurdle and Hook

Stroke Advanced

This is a great stroke shot I adapted from one of Andy Segal's creations. It's a jump-fouette (or whip) shot. The cue ball is less than a chalk's width away from the object ball, but with the right stroke, I pocket the 3 ball in the side pocket, jump over the wall of blocking balls and swing around two rails to get the 1 in the corner. I think this is my new favorite type of shot! Learn how!

Epiphany

Trick/Fancy Beginner

I first saw this shot in one of Willie Joplin's videos, but never figured out how to do it until Paul Danno pulled it off against me at the 2009 Ultimate Trick Shot Challenge. The cue ball hits the five ball, sending it and the one ball across the table into the corner. The four ball caroms off the three into the near corner while the three ball banks all the way back up the table. Learn how!

Ramaani's Recoil

Follow Intermediate

This is a shot requested by Ramaani, so I called it Ramaani's Recoil. Here, two balls are hanging in the corner pocket. The cue ball pockets one of the balls, bounces off one of the cushions, then, using tremendous spin, follows back in to pocket the second ball. Learn how!

Jennifer's Rebound

Prop/Novelty Intermediate

This is a shot Jennifer came up with, hence the name. It takes advantage of the giant 8 ball. The cue ball is jumped off the 8 ball, over the blocker balls and swished into the corner pocket. I've included both a side view and back view for this shot. Learn how!

Steamroller

Prop/Novelty Beginner

Here's a shot taking advantage of the giant 8 ball, which is initially propped up on a piece of chalk. The cue ball knocks the 8 ball down and caroms back to pocket the 1 ball hanging ball in the side pocket. Meanwhile, the 8 ball rolls and pushes the 3 ball in the side pocket, eventually following in (or as much of it that can fit!). Learn how!

A Hop, A Skip, and A Jump

Jump Advanced

I created this shot based on the TC Fun shot Chris Woodrum and I developed. It's a one person, moving jump shot. I jump the ball three different times over three separate walls of balls, kicking off the far rail each time. After the last time, the cue ball kicks in the combination in the corner pocket. Learn how!

Out Of My Way

Follow Intermediate

This is an expanded version of a tournament shot. In the tournament version, there are only two blocker balls, but I moved it up to three. The cue ball starts the chain reaction and all of the blocker balls clear out of the way. The cue ball follows straight up the rail to pocket the last ball in the corner pocket. Learn how!
