Hurdle and Hook
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!

A Hop, A Skip, and A Jump
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.

Leapfrog
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!

Just Showing Off Extreme
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!

Double Jump
Just like skipping stones across water, this shot skips the cue ball across the slate. I jump the cue ball over the first set of blocking balls, it bounces near the center of the table and over the second set of blocking balls, finally pocketing the hanging ball in the corner pocket. On this particular one, I get lucky and the cue ball stays on the table. Learn how!

Sky Hook
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!

Jump Three Rail Masse
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!

Reel It In
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!

Resistance Two Rail Masse
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!

Pyramid Blast Masse
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!
