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!

Leapfrog

Jump Advanced

 

This is a shot that I invented. Two balls are in line between the side pockets. I jump the cue ball over the object ball heading towards the side pocket, but before it gets there, I jump the object ball over the cue ball so it gets to the side pocket first. This will test how quickly and accurately you can jump. Learn how!

Corner Collation

Prop/Novelty Intermediate

 

Here's a speed shot Ralph Eckert used in the 2008 World Cup of Trick Shots. The cue ball is first hit three rails around the table. In the meantime, five object balls are machine-gunned into the corner pocket before the cue ball gets there. Learn how!

Quicker Curve

Masse Intermediate

 

The shortest distance between two points may be a straight line, but sometimes it's quicker to take a longer route. Here, I shoot the five ball towards the corner pocket. While it's on its way, I quickly masse the cue ball around the five ball to pocket the hanging ball and clear the pocket for the five to go in. Allen Hopkins showed this shot off during the 2008 World Cup of Trick ShotsLearn how!

Five Rail Escape

Bank/Kick Beginner

 

This is a combination of a five rail kick with a rail compression shot. I saw this on Allen Hopkins' Tip of the Day on the 2008 World Cup of Trick Shots. The cue ball is trapped between the rail and a blocker ball with the target ball in the opposite corner. I shoot in to the cushion and get the cue ball to squeeze behind the blocker ball, then go an extra four rails to pocket the hanging ball. Learn how!

Just Showing Off Extreme

Prop/Novelty Advanced

 

This shot combines Just Showing Off and Over, Around, and Under. The balls are set up as in the Just Showing Off with the addition of a bridge lying across the table. The five object balls find their way to their usual pockets while the cue ball jumps over the bridge before going around the table for the hanging ball. Lots of action in this shot. Learn how!

Cleereman's Carom

Trick/Fancy Beginner

 

This is a shot made up by Nik Cleereman, a fan of mine. It's a slightly different version of Tim's Twister. Instead of spinning the cue ball out of the corner, it kicks off the short rail, caroms off a ball hanging in the side pocket, and follows down table for the ball in the corner. Learn how!

Double Jump

Jump Advanced

 

Just like skipping stones across water, this shot skips the cue ball across the slate. I jump the cue ball over the first set of blocking balls, it bounces near the center of the table and over the second set of blocking balls, finally pocketing the hanging ball in the corner pocket. On this particular one, I get lucky and the cue ball stays on the table. Learn how!

Y Not

Trick/Fancy Beginner

 

Here's a setup shot that I developed after being inspired by my work for Radiant Pictures. There's a five ball cluster near the spot set up in a "Y" shape, hence the name. You may recognize a similar pattern to a four ball setup shot. In this shot though, all five balls go in and, if you do it right, they almost all fall simultaneously. Learn how!
