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 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!

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!

Here's a simple-looking tube shot that's a variation of a classic follow shot. There are two balls by the side pocket, the cue ball splits them up, one in the side and the other in the corner knocking out the tube. In the meantime, the cue ball hits the long rail on the far side of the side pocket and follows back up the table to knock in the ball that was on top of the tube. Learn how!

The first part of the shot was invented by Paul Gerni for ESPN Trick Shot Magic 2001. Two balls are forced in to the near corner pocket, and one banks cross corner. The cue ball meanwhile, follows up the rail to pocket the ball hanging in the side. It looks a lot prettier if you don't catch the side rail first, but I didn't have the camera rolling during those takes. Learn how!

This is a classic follow shot. The cue ball pockets the first ball in the corner, caroms off of the end rail and around an obstacle to pocket a second ball in the far corner. I saw my friend Eric Yow do it with a two ball wall, so I thought I'd do it too. It's easier with one though. Learn how!

Here's a more advanced version of a simple follow shot. After pocketing a ball in the side, the cue ball caroms off of the cushion on the other side of the side pocket, arcs around the blocking ball, and eventually makes the hanging ball in the corner. The easier version is to do it without the blocking ball. Learn how!

OK, so my creativity's running low as far as naming shots. In any case, here the cue ball pockets the object ball in the left corner, caroms off of it and goes around the wall of balls, making an arc to pocket the ball in the right corner pocket. The first clip is around a 5 ball wall, the second is a 6 ball wall with a side view. Learn how!

In this curious looking shot, the cue ball caroms off the object ball on the rail, reverses to go around the second object ball, and then changes gears again to follow up table, completing a circular arc, and pocket a hanging ball in the corner pocket. This is one of the shots in the artistic pool program. Learn how!

The cue ball rebounds off an object ball frozen to the long rail on the far side, jumps backwards over the "bridge", and then curves around the 6 ball wall with follow to pocket the hanger in the near right corner. This is another shot of Stefano Pelinga's that he tried to show the world on ESPN Trick Shot Magic 2001 with his last shot. Learn how!
