This is a shot invented by Dave "Triple Jump" Nangle. A rack is balanced on top of balls which on top of chalk cubes. An object ball is within this tower. The cue ball banks the object ball straight back and subsequently jumps over the top of the rack and travels down table to pocket the hanging ball in the corner pocket. Learn how!

This is a creative shot invented by Gordon "The Wolf" Hedges. The 1 ball is cut into the side pocket, the 2 ball banks into the corner pocket, while the cue ball travels two rails and kicks the 3 ball into the corner pocket that it hangs in. Learn how!

This is also called the Chopsticks Jump shot, but any way you call it, it's a one-handed double jump shot. Gordon "The Wolf" Hedges was the first to figure it out. Here, I jump two balls simultaneously out of a rack and into the corner pocket down the table with the help of another rack. I also do it twice, once right-handed and once left-handed! Learn how!

Here's a shot I invented. Two balls are stacked near the side pocket. The cue ball knocks the bottom ball in and then proceeds around the table 3 rails before knocking the second ball in the same side pocket. Learn how!

This is a classic shot with two balls stacked in the corner pocket. The cue ball pockets the bottom one, then goes around the table 3 rails and comes back to pocket the top one which has since dropped on to the table. Learn how!

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!
