This is an old shot that I picked up from Sebastian Giumelli. The cue ball splits the combo off the side rail sending one ball up into the corner pocket while the other banks and is directed into the corner pocket by the rack. The cue ball kicks off of three rails and rides up the side of the bridge finally hitting the bridge head and knocking in the final object ball. Learn how!

Gordon 'The Wolf' Hedges challenged me with this shot at the Ultimate Trick Shot Tour stop at Shooter's Billiards in Southington, CT. Neither of us made it that time though. A row of three balls is lined up by each side pocket led by a rack. The cue ball caroms off each rack, shoving each row of balls into their respective pockets, then travels down for the last solid ball in the corner pocket.  Learn how!

This is another of Andy Segal's pinball shots, pocketing one ball in each pocket. The cue ball initially pockets a ball in the side pocket, then hits the near rack pocketing another ball. It continues into the short rail then over to the long cue stick which pushes another ball in, then off a couple more racks for two more balls, then is guided nicely across the table by the short cue stick to pocket the last ball hanging in the corner pocket. Whew! Learn how!

This pinball-type shot is based on the Circular Follow shot. I first saw Andy Segal shoot this. The cue ball hits the object ball frozen to the rail, then curves around the blocking ball and is guided to the corner pocket by the short cue stick. The hit object ball travels around the table, pushing the longer cue stick out of the way, sliding off the rack and finally pocketing the last ball by the far corner pocket. Learn how!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!
