And that's what DCP needs to get his 90-degree cut, but it's unlikely that he will. That's more left than 99.99% of pool players ever put on the cue ball. Really. Of course Dr. Dave has a video about it. See also the "silly shot" video or Take Five.
In the context of DCP's question, this answer is apparently nonsensical.
This shot will always b hard. I’ve seen Gorst miss a very similar shot playing 1 pocket. U may get to 30% if u practice it all the time. Although ur practice could be spent on better things imho. But hey go for it !!
How so? The shot seems to be cut it in the side. The rest is how you develop the ability. The extreme outside is just the fringe of cinching it. One could easily slam it and achieve an elevated and therefore thinner hit. One could outright jump it and hit the far side as well on and on...
Ok, let me upset the apple cart here. I shoot that shot at 80 percent, not only into the side, but corner pockets as well. I know you don't believe me (everyone in this thread) so let's make it a challenge shot. I'll go with anyone who has some gamble for how ever much they want on every shot, you will win some of the shots, but I will have all your money in short order. I'm not bragging because it's true and has been tested many times .. lol .. Now here is the best part, guaranteed to drive all the instructors right out of their minds - Use extreme Inside spin and a very firm stroke - That's the trick, of course you have to have a laser straight stroke and a sharp eye, cut the ball as thin as you possibly can and see what happens.
Unlikely, but anything is possible. Let's make the shot more specific.
I once seen a guy hit a true 90 degree shot from the left corner pocket to the right corner pocket with the object ball on the spot...
He can’t make that 5% of the time.
