First, I send an object ball around the table 5 rails. While it's moving, I shoot a rocket masse, pocketing an object ball, and have the cue ball masse down the table to meet the first object ball and kick it in the corner. I first saw this shot attempted by Paul Gerni in ESPN Trick Shot Magic 2001. Learn how!

This is the jump-masse version of the Rainbow Masse. I jump the cue ball out of the rack and it makes a beautiful arc around the balls and pockets the hanging ball in the corner pocket. Learn how!

I developed this shot to try to pocket a few more balls with a jump masse stroke. The cue ball hits the cluster by the side pocket, splitting one into the side and one up into the corner. The cue ball then jumps over the blocker balls, slides across the table, off the far rail and masse's back to get the hanging ball in the far corner. Learn how!

This is an extreme jump-draw shot. I pocket one ball across the table into the side pocket while the cue ball jumps over a bridge and draws around the rack to pocket a hanging ball in the corner. This shot was invented by Stefano Pelinga. Learn how!

This is a shot that I invented. Two balls are in line between the side pockets. I jump the cue ball over the object ball heading towards the side pocket, but before it gets there, I jump the object ball over the cue ball so it gets to the side pocket first. This will test how quickly and accurately you can jump. Learn how!

This shot made an appearance on 2006 Trick Shot Magic. Mike Massey missed it, but Tom "Dr. Cue" Rossman made it. Utilizing two jump cues, I jump two balls at the same time out of a rack and into the side pocket. Learn how!

Here's a close draw shot where I pocket one ball in the corner, taking out a tube and drawing the cue ball two rails pocket the second ball in the same corner. Mike Massey used a similar shot in ESPN Trick Shot Magic 2003. Sometimes this shot is played with stacked balls in the corner, but then the object ball you hit doesn't go. Other times, it's just played as a position shot where the cue ball has to land in a zone near the corner pocket. Learn how!

Here's Mike Massey's power draw shot. Again, I use a striped ball instead of the cue ball so you can see it better. In this shot, I cram an object ball in to the corner and draw back 3 cushions around the table. Usually, this shot is played so the cue ball gets position in a 1x1 diamond square by the other corner pocket, but this is Eric Yow's adaptation where I use a rack to push in another object ball. Learn how!

I thought up this shot as yet another variation to the classic tube shot. This is just an addition to my Tubular Draw, but I use a jump-draw instead. It's really pretty the way the cue ball hits the first object ball, jumps up, and lands between where the two balls on the coin wrappers have dropped. Then the cue ball spins back escorting the two balls in the side pocket. Learn how!

My friend Gabi Visoui (Vas) came up with this shot for me, based on my Tim's Twister shot. Placing the cluster on the bottom rail this time, I pocket one directly in the corner while sending the other object ball three rails to fall into the same corner. Meanwhile, the cue ball gets juiced up and spins off two rails to pocket the hanging ball in the opposite corner pocket. Learn how!

I created this shot based on the TC Fun shot Chris Woodrum and I developed. It's a one person, moving jump shot. I jump the ball three different times over three separate walls of balls, kicking off the far rail each time. After the last time, the cue ball kicks in the combination in the corner pocket. Learn how!

I adapted this shot from one of Lukasz Szywala's. I form a diamond of four balls and balance the cue ball on top of it. Using a masse stroke, I split the diamond so one ball goes into each of the nearest four pockets. Learn how!

On this shot, the cue ball jumps out of the rack and goes three rails to pocket the hanging ball. You'll notice the cue ball hits the first rail below the side pocket, which necessitates a masse to get it back on track. This is one of the classic jump-masse shots that have been bouncing around the internet. Learn how!

Here's a cute little shot that Dr. Cue Tom Rossman used in ESPN Trick Shot Magic 2006. I call it the chain reaction jump. Lined up along the table are combinations of two balls, one on the slate and the second on a piece of chalk. At the start of the line, the cue ball is close to a blocker ball. I jump over the blocker ball and hit the first combination setting off a chain reaction that finally pockets the last ball in the corner. Learn how!

On this jump-masse shot, the cue ball jumps out of the rack, goes up and pockets one hanging ball in the opposite corner pocket, then reels back in along the short rail to get the other hanging ball. This is an adaptation from a simple masse shot without the jump. 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!

Here's one of Mike Massey's inventions. The cue ball is pretty well trapped against the side rail and some blocker balls. With the right stroke though, you can kick it off a couple rails and spin it around the wall to pocket a ball in the upper corner. Learn how!

This is an extreme version of a classic masse shot. The cue ball kicks off the long rail and above the wall of balls, then masses back to pocket the hanger in the far corner. In competition, only a 6 ball wall is used. Playing around with the shot and my stroke, I've gotten it around a 14 ball wall. Learn how!

Here's a variation on the Poolhall Junkies timing shot. This time, I jump over a row of balls and kick off the opposite rail, catching the object ball as it rolls in front of the side pocket. In this shot, there's only a one ball gap between the cue ball and the wall of balls, making it more difficult. Learn how!

On this masse shot, the cue ball is frozen to an object ball. On the masse stroke, the object ball is sent to the side pocket while the cue ball squirts out and makes a big curve to go two rails and pocket the hanging object ball in the far corner. Learn how!

Here's a variation of the Rainbow Masse. This time, I freeze another object ball to the cue ball pocketing it across the table into the corner pocket. The cue ball makes an awesome arc around the row of balls to pocket the hanger in the corner pocket. Learn how!

The cue ball jumps out of the rack, swoops around at the far end of the table, goes two rails and comes back for the hanging ball. This shot is similar to the Jump Rainbow Masse, except it's aimed farther out. This is another classic jump-masse to work on. Learn how!

This is an adapted shot from a classic hustler shot. Two balls support another ball on the rail. I shoot the cue ball into the cushion near the stack, causing the supporting balls to split and the top ball to fall. The cue ball goes three more rails and comes back to pocket the former top ball. Plan on a lot of attempts, because it doesn't work often. Learn how!

If you're stretched for a long draw shot, see if it's not easier to hit a masse shot from the other side of the table. On this shot, I masse the cue ball towards me, pocketing a ball in the corner pocket I'm standing behind, and the cue ball masses across the table to pocket a hanger in the far corner. Obviously, you could use this for position as well. Learn how!

This is a difficult version of a simple timing shot, popularized by the movie Poolhall Junkies. Here though, the cue ball and the object ball start on top of the side rail. I shoot the cue ball across the table, which rolls the object ball along the rail. The object ball falls onto the table when it reaches the side pocket, just in time as the cue ball kicks back off the opposite side rail to pocket it. Learn how!

This is an adaptation from the Yo Yo Masse, just adding the jump part. The cue ball jumps out of the rack, slides down the table, and then spins backward to pocket the hanging ball in the side pocket. It's not as difficult as it looks since you have to hit any jump-masse pretty hard to get it to spin back, but it's by no means easy! Learn how!

Here's a one-handed masse shot where I pocket the first object ball in the near corner and the cue ball runs up the short rail to pocket the other object ball. Mike Massey played a similar shot in ESPN's Trick Shot Magic 2005 going up the long rail, which I would show you if the table was faster. Learn how!

Another classic masse shot, where the cue ball starts at the 2nd diamond, goes up past the side pocket, then makes a sharp U-turn to clip in the hanger in the side pocket. Most guys would shoot this with their shin on the rail so they can bridge on their leg. This version is for those not-so-tall people who aren't comfortable doing that. Learn how!

Here's a prop masse shot. I masse into a vodka bottle, knocking in two balls, one of which is balanced on a shot glass on top of the bottle. The cue ball masses back up the table, hugging the rail to pocket a ball in the far corner pocket. This shot is one of Lukasz Szywala's creations. Special thanks to Jennifer, Jeremy, and Albert for emptying the vodka bottle for me. Learn how!

I first saw Stefano Pelinga do this extreme version of the Passing Lane shot. The cue ball is frozen to an object ball near the far side of the table and a second object ball is hanging in the side pocket. I masse the cue ball, sending the first object ball up the table. The cue ball masse's around the first object ball, pocketing the ball in the side pocket, and getting out of the way so the first object ball can get all the way down the table into the corner pocket. Learn how!
