I've seen a lot of videos of this shot on the internet, so I thought I'd do it too. Four balls are in a straight line by the side pocket. The cue ball splits up the line with each ball going in a different pocket and then the cue ball banks of one rail and pockets a 5th ball in yet another pocket! Learn how!

This is a shot I invented recently that's related to the Cluster Follow shot. A similar cluster of 3 balls is by the side pocket. This time, one of the balls goes up into the corner while two go into the side and the cue ball draws back to make the last ball hanging in the near corner. Learn how!

Here's a shot I invented that's a slight variation on a classic. Three balls are frozen to each other by the side pocket. Two go up the rail into the corner while one goes into the side pocket. Meanwhile, the cue ball arcs forward to pocket the hanging ball in the opposite corner. Normally, the cue ball would just shoot across the table to make a ball in the opposite side pocket, but I wanted to mix it up a little. Learn how!

This is a shot Stefano Pelinga used in a past Trick Shot Magic event. There's a kiss/combo set up by the side pocket and a ball balanced on top of one of the other balls, while a pool cue lays across the table. The cue ball sinks the kiss/combo, dropping the top ball in front of the side pocket, then goes two rails and is guided by the pool cue to pocket the dropped ball. Learn how!

This is a classic trick shot that resembles Moses parting the Red Sea. Some people call this the football shot. The cue ball blasts into the 9 ball which starts the 1 ball banking across the table. The cue ball caroms off into the 2 ball creating a massive chain reaction causing all of the pairs of balls to split open, clearing the path for the 1! Learn how!

This is an extension of Joplin's 3 Ball Shot by Bill Marshall (Willie Jopling), with 2 extra balls. Two balls each go into the near corner pockets while the 1 ball banks straight up the table. I love the way this shot looks! Learn how!

Finally, one of my inventions. OK, perhaps my only invention, that Al Relf christened Tim's Twister. The three balls in the cluster are all frozen together, with two of them (the cue ball included) frozen to the rail. One of the object balls pockets in the near corner, one in the opposite corner, while the cue ball runs three rails to catch the hanger in the far corner. Try it, you'll like it. Learn how!

This is a neat little shot I invented when playing around with two stacking balls. I hit the cue ball off the top of the first stacking ball and into the second stack. Both balls in the second stack go into the side pocket and the cue ball draws back knocking in the ball it started out on top of. Learn how!

The same setup as with the Two Rail Reverse, but this time the object ball goes in the opposite side pocket after travelling an extra table width, coming off a third rail. This is similar to a shot in the Artistic Pool Program, except in the program, the object ball is in the middle of the table. I think this shot is more difficult. Again, I first saw this on Willie Joplin's video. Learn how!

Here's a creative example of using the rack for a trick shot. The cue ball hits the 2 ball into the rack. The 2 ball caroms off into the side pocket while the rack pushes the 1, 3, and 5 balls across the table into their pockets. The cue ball finally draws back for a hanging ball in the corner pocket I'm shooting over. Learn how!
