Hey all,
I've been working on some sub-standard, STRONG, position shots that are relatively simple (if you can remember them all). Here is one of my favorites... it is a very easy shot that works for me 85% of the time.

Here's the basic idea:
Set up your OB so that it is 1/2" off the rail with 1/4" of the ball hanging into the side pocket (refer to diagram). Put the CB on the spot. Give the CB a good stroke (babying the ball will force a scratch) with straight top spin (12:00 position). The CB actually comes off the back of the OB, hits the rail, and changes direction to travel towards the far, short rail! It's a really cool looking shot, and is VERY helpful.
Fred, Pooltchr, Scott, Cane or any other isntructor... why does the CB react the way it does in this shot? What causes the top spin to "hook" the CB like that?
