90 deg cut shot

Same shot @Bob Jewett shot 20 years ago. Should work even if you are not on FB. My buddy Shaun in the Philly suburbs shot it. He's a 682.

Your friend's shot looks like a direct cut shot, maybe with the cue ball a little off the table when it hits the object ball. He hit it really hard.

The position I was playing from: The OB is on the spot. The cue ball is centered in the corner pocket about 6 inches from the brink. I shoot with max outside and a little below center to spin the ball in. You can tell how hard I hit the ball by the cue ball coming back after it hits long-short-long. The actual cut angle for the shot I made in the "Take Five" video was 93 to 94 degrees.

I think this shot is a "half-hour shot" -- however many tries you can do in half an hour is about even money.

For those who don't do FB for religious reasons, here is the shot on YouTube:

Even looks like an overcut. Definitely air ball.

I've seen Jim Rempe cut balls backwards off the spot with the cue ball sitting in the side pocket. He set it up and did it again.

Pretty steep cut.
Prop bet shot with a ton of tries.
But no one is flying at this in a game unless they are high.
