Two Step Twister

Trick/Fancy Intermediate

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!

Epiphany

Trick/Fancy Beginner

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!

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!

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!

Four In A Line - 3 Ways

Trick/Fancy Beginner

A fan requested the basic version of this shot. I'll demonstrate two other ways to make it go. In the basic version, the two end balls split, one to the side and one to the corner, and the two middle balls go into the same corner pocket. Once that gets too easy, you can the middle balls around the table into different corner pockets. Yoshikazu Kimura demonstrated this on his video. Learn how!

Any Questions

Trick/Fancy Beginner

This shot is an extension of the smily face/slam dunk/half moon shot, which only uses 5 balls. The two extra balls form the bottom part of the question mark. In one shot, seven balls are scattered into six pockets. Mike Massey and Rick Malm call this Inquisitive, but I use this clip at the end of my presentations to invite questions. Learn how!

Joplin's 3 Ball Shot

Trick/Fancy Beginner

Another of Willie Joplin's creation. Quite simple really, one ball into the near corner, another across the short side to the other corner, and the middle ball banks to the far corner up the long rail. Learn how!

I'm Going Over There

Trick/Fancy Beginner

Here's a pretty easy shot where two balls stuff in the corner pocket, but another one decides to go around the table four rails to the opposite corner pocket. Learn how!

Kyoto Freeway

Trick/Fancy Beginner

This is another setup shot invented by Yoshikazu Kimura. It was named by Paul Gerni as Kyoto Freeway for the balls travelling in different directions at different speeds. Two balls split in the corner pockets near where I shoot from. The cue ball goes down and splits the other combination into the corner pockets while the final two balls slowly trickle down, following them in. Learn how!

Joplin's Dream Shot

Trick/Fancy Beginner

The story goes, Willie Joplin came up with this shot in his dream. I pocket all four balls in one stroke, the end balls splitting in to the corner pockets, one of the middle balls forces its way through to the side pocket while the other one banks cross side. Learn how!
