Six Pointed Star

I used to practice something similar when I was a kid working in the pool hall.

I would put all 15 balls on the rails around the table and try to make them without the cue ball touching another ball.

For this drill I was not shooting the balls in numerical order.

1) Yo Yo ( two balls, one on each long rail)
2) Terific Three ( 3 balls, half of 6 pd)
3) Skillful square (4 balls on long rails)
4) Six Point Diamond (All 6 balls)
5) Elite 8 (my own set up, as shown below)
The way I play it, in no particular numerical order, except the eight ball has to be made last, and you start with ball in hand. It is more difficult than what one might think, especially as I have all the balls frozen on the rail. If one needs to make it a bit easier, just move the balls off the rail to a distance you are comfortable with. I always like the challenge, so I leave all the balls on the rail. Sometimes to make it even more difficult, I move two of the long rail balls another diamond, instead of two diamonds up, they go three diamonds up!
