Awhile back we had a thread where someone mentioned a propostion shot where you take ball in hand behind the headstring and sink a spot shot while not letting the cue ball contact a cushion.
My best result is about 4.5 ball widths from the rail, was wondering how quickly a top player could kill the cue ball.
thanks.

I have also seen Scotty very effortlessly shoot the spot shot and draw it one rail with the cueball hitting more than a diamond above the side.
He has a great stroke.


I did not believe it until I saw it but Efren can shoot a spot shot and damn near stop it cold. Of course Efren can play a little.

What if you bank the ball. I think this would become a sucker bet if you don't make it clear that you have to cut it in a certain corner.

I shot this a few times today. I was slow rolling the cue ball. The best I could do was about 5 ball widths from the end rail.

I I just shot it about 20 times, got distances from half a ball, up to 5 and a half balls from the foot rail.

CueTable Help



This was on an 8 ft table, what are you guys shooting it on?

How high was he elevated?

I've seen a player pocket a spot shot and draw the cue ball a foot straight up the table. He was probably elevated 60 degrees.

We must be talking about different shots. Are you saying that they shot in a spot shot (which is about a half-ball cut shot) and stopped the cue ball dead on contact with the object ball while shooting with a level cue?

If so, I simply don't believe you.

Aim fuller than you normally would to make the shot and then use english to throw it into the pocket. This is how you can play a stop shot on a cut.

If im wrong someone let me know.

how to make it

i made it once and it was a fluke... don't get me wrong i would never shoot this for money even if you gave me 100 to 1 .... the way i made it was, the best way to describe it is a half-masse into the ball.. my stick was elevated at least 45 degrees and it was basically a masse shot where the cue ball curves into the angle cutting down on the tangent of the cue ball with a lot of "kill" or inside english... thats the only way i have ever seen it shot... i am not questioning anyone but making it with a level cue seems a little much to me if the shot is set up right.... unless they are playing on a slower nap cloth where the english will catch with a level cue the same as it did with my cue ball on simonis... any thoughts?
