Efren shot this shot twice in two games against Billy Palmer. You can watch it on Youtube - he played it off the point both times.

hes using inside english to reverse the object ball off the rail.
I believe he's right. I've seen the same shot done the length of the table. Transfer of spin to the object ball.
Two cushions? I have seen plenty of balls twisted back one cushion, or two cushions in a "Z" fashion, but I have not seen what you seem to be describing (ie: right long rail, head rail, reverse into bottom right corner) unless the ball catches the point. Usually, the rub off of the first cushion puts way more outside spin on the ball than you could counter with inside spin transferred from the cueball.

It's not the same shot that the op was bringing up but yes,he's right in that you bring that shot back without using the point of the pocket.You pinch the ball into the rail with center and just a touch of english and it will turn back in.It would be called a two rail bank playing bank pool.The other way would work too,if the table was a couple ft wider,it just doesn't have time to take the english and or turn,at least not on any tables that I ever play on.

Like this? If so, I'm gonna have to add another one to the long list of banks I don't know yet. :frown:

I have tried this shot repeatedly and just can figure out how to make it go. Freddy says to use the "rubber in the round", and it appears that this guy makes it above that area. Anyway, and insight would be appreciated.
I shot this yesterday after seeing it on here. I tried it 3 or 4 times and made it on the 2nd try. It was close the other 3 times. With both balls frozen I shoot the object ball into the bottom rail and off the side rail just above the tit. I did not use any english. When it hit the side rail the ball reversed back to the pocket. Aim to the left of the object ball and it will be made or come real close every time. :thumbup:
