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!

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!

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!

The cue ball rebounds off an object ball frozen to the short rail, masses around the wall and pockets the combo in the side. You don't even need the helper ball; heck, I probably would have scratched in the side if they weren't there. I first saw this shot attempted by Stefano Pelinga on ESPN Trick Shot Magic 2002. 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!

This is a great stroke shot I adapted from one of Andy Segal's creations. It's a jump-fouette (or whip) shot. The cue ball is less than a chalk's width away from the object ball, but with the right stroke, I pocket the 3 ball in the side pocket, jump over the wall of blocking balls and swing around two rails to get the 1 in the corner. I think this is my new favorite type of shot! 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 basic, and perhaps the easiest, jump-masse shot. I jump the cue ball out of the rack and have it masse straight back pocketing the ball in the corner pocket. It's more impressive the farther up the table it goes before the masse takes. Learn how!

This shot combines Just Showing Off and Over, Around, and Under. The balls are set up as in the Just Showing Off with the addition of a bridge lying across the table. The five object balls find their way to their usual pockets while the cue ball jumps over the bridge before going around the table for the hanging ball. Lots of action in this shot. Learn how!

This is the jump variation of the Kick Masse, except I don't go around a separate wall of balls (although you can, if you want to dress it up a bit more). The cue ball jumps out of the rack, kicks off of the long rail, and then masse's back to catch the hanging ball in the 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!

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!

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!

I combined two classic shots to come up with this. It's really an extension to the Over and Under shot, but I add in the four ball draw back. I split the three ball cluster, the cue ball jumps over the bridge, and draws back under the bridge over half the table length to get the final ball hanging in the corner. 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!

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 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!

This is another Stefano Pelinga shot I saw him perform on ESPN Trick Shot Magic 2005. The cue ball sinks the frozen object ball, masses into the long rail, banks out and masse's a second time around a wall of balls to knock in a second object ball in the opposite 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!

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!

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!

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 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!

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!

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!

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 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 on the Poolhall Junkies timing shot. This time, I masse around the rack, catching the object ball as it rolls in front of the side 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!
