There's a new masse shot invented by a Japanese player, Sosumi Sudo that will almost guarantee you can make the shot when you have a ball frozen to the short rail and the cue ball frozen to it at an angle of 45* or less. The technique involves getting a 75* or more angle with the stick. You get the tip very close to the cue ball and when you're warming up for the shot you make tiny movements. Then you quickly PUSH through the shot with a quick wrist and arm motion and it flies in the corner.
Of course it's not legal but you can spoof some buddies with it. It's all in the presentation like any magic trick. You can hem and haw with the angle and etc.. The reward is the look on their faces when you call it and it flies in. I pulled it on my Bud's one night and it was great. It's like that look a puppy has with a cocked head and puzzled look in the eyes when he hears a dog whistle. Simply priceless.
Well, before I took the shot I built up the story of this new masse by a Japanese guy that just hit the states and etc.. Then wham and it popped in. I confessed my crime and sat down and we had a good laugh. We sat it up after the game and I showed them how it worked and that it was only a disguised push shot. Sooooo.. If you feel like pulling someone's chain and the shot pops up, see what you get.
Remember it's called the So Sue Me Pseudo Masse. Smart people those Japanese. :grin-devilish:
