I learned this shot from Robert Byrne's Treasury of Trick Shots and parlayed it into a few points at the 2009 Ultimate Trick Shot Tour Championships. The cue ball splits the 1-2 cluster by the side, hits the rack pocketing the 3 and 4 balls, goes off the side rail and comes back for the 5 ball where it all started. Amazing! Learn how!

I invented this shot for the 2009 Ultimate Trick Shot Championships. I wanted to invent a shot where the tray was used for more than just a stationary extra rail. The cue ball hits the tray first, opening up a path between the tray and the side rail. The cue ball hits two rails, gets guided up the edge of the rack, goes off the side rail and the tray again, pocketing the hanging ball in the side pocket. Learn how!

Here's a nifty little shot, whose origin I'm unsure about. There's a ball hanging by the side pocket, two more in the left corner, and one final one in the right. The cue ball pings around, knocking all four of them in with just one trip! Learn how!

This shot combines a couple classics. First, the 5 ball squeezes past the 3 ball into the side pocket. Second, the cue ball draws back to make the 1 ball. And third, the 3 ball banks 3 rails, reversing direction on the way, to find the far side pocket as well after the 1 ball is gone. Learn how!

This is a shot I believe Andy Segal invented for one of the Ultimate Trick Shot events. The cue ball is on top of a stacking ball inside a rack. By hitting a masse shot, the cue ball flies out of the rack, then masses back into it, pocketing the hanging ball in the corner pocket. Learn how!

This shot evolved out of a creation of Bob 'Bad Hair' Stangby, which Tom Rossman used on ESPN Trick Shot Magic. The original version juggled the cue ball 15 times and pocketed a single object ball each time. This version, however, only juggles the cue ball 3 times and shoots a set of 5 object balls each time, with the first set being shot with an air bridge, the second set with the bridge on the table, and the third set left-handed. It's called the Easy Button because in the ESPN events, there's an Easy Button which the cue ball must go around each time. Learn how!

Here's a good speed shot. Shoot the cue ball 2 rails and, before it gets into the corner pocket, shoot 3 balls up into the far corner, 3 more in the side, and clear the last 5 balls into the near corner before the cue ball comes by. I call it 11 before 2 because I shoot 11 balls before the cue ball goes 2 rails. Learn how!

Here's a fun shot I picked up off the internet somewhere. The cue ball is sandwiched between the rail and an object ball. I masse it out of its tight spot without moving the object ball (there's even a coin balanced on it for proof!), curve around the big 8 ball and pocketing the hanging ball in the corner pocket. Learn how!

This is a neat stroke shot. The original concept is Joe "The Phantom" Lemaine, but Dave "Triple Jump" Nangle added the blocker ball and required the curve. The objective is to shoot the cue ball into the line of 4 other balls causing the cue ball to deflect out and then hook back around the blocking huge 8 ball and pocket the hanging ball in the far corner pocket. Learn how!

Here's a great setup shot invented by a good friend of mine 'Jersey' Joe Bonge. Lots of balls are in action here. The cue ball hits the 1 ball, which combos the 2 in the corner. The 1 banks cross-side. The cue ball caroms off making the 6 in the side, then hitting the three ball cluster sending the 4 in the side, 5 up the rail in the corner, and the 3 is thrown across into the opposite corner. Whew! Learn how!
