Guess how to make this shot.....

[Onepocket73]

Just goes to show ya...with a 'proposition' shot, there's probably some con involved...so get the rules straight before you bet. If I was betting this guy, it would be on a LEGAL shot...not the one described by him.

Made this shot about 6 or 8 times out of the 40+ tries during matches.
In one pocket, even if you miss it, the cue ball kicks back across the table leaving a ball near your hole and your opponent without a good shot.

A real crowd pleaser when you pull it off and it can take the wind right out of your opponent's sails.

I don't get it, what's illegal about the shot?

Andrew...My mistake. When I first read the "correct" response, it seemed like the OP was saying to shoot the 1-ball, instead of the CB into the 1-ball.
That would be illegal. Now that I read it again, I see the OP's reasoning. However, the two options I described are much easier, imo, than banking the 1-ball, and trying to carom it in off of the CB. jmo

I dont think its an illegal shot, there are several page's diagraming this type shot in "Winning One Pocket". I belive it's called a kiss back shot.

Not on 1 try, they are not. you can not cut the 1 ball to get enough angle off the 6 to make the 1 in the corner, IMO. It would fall short of reaching the corner pocket. If in a game, I like banking the 1 across for the carom back into the cue ball (not paying attention to defense, of course).

Read the posts Scott. The OP said FIVE tries, not one. I'll shoot the 3-rail kick before anything else. That's a natural, given the correct spot on the first rail.

he said 5 tries, I meant in an actual game situation with only 1 try to do it.

 

[cuetable]

Ok,the object here is to pocket the 1-ball in the corner closest to the cue ball and 1 ball.If you gave me 5 try's,I know I would get it!
Note:It is impossible to bank it cross corner,due to the interfering balls.

Maybe this?

Page 1 shows a stop shot, and page 2 gets the cheese

There are a few variation of this in Winning One Pocket.

I will take 5 shots on this however I don't bet much.

A simple 3-rail kick pockets the 1-ball in ONE try! If you don't want to bank it in, then you could carom it in, by cutting it backwards towards the 6-ball.

3-rail kick for the make, not likely. And it looks too thin to carom it in, you'd have to cut the 1-ball so thin you couldn't hit it hard enough to carom it the rest of the way...at least not at my hall.

I have to admit, I'm stumped.

 

[seymore15074]

Eleoi got it right.Just shoot the 1 ball straight away and kill your rock dead.1-ball comes straight back across and caroms off the cue ball into the corner.I can usually get it within 3 tries
Note:Hit it with pocket speed for best results

I thought of that for a second, but then figured, no way. I'll have to try it for myself. I'm sure it is possible, but to do it in a few tries? ...I doubt it.

This is a standard 3-rail kick. It may not be likely for you, but I shoot this shot routinely in my shows. The 3-rail kick is the most accurate, and easy to duplicate, of any of the multirail kick shots.

You could have PM'd me that

Dude, with as many one-holer's as there are around here, I can't believe you came as close as you did to getting action on that shot. I figured you'd be blown out of the water within 3 posts, lol. Rep to you for the effort, though; that's definitely a cool 1p shot.

Scott, Now I'm not meaning to sound overly competitive here, but speaking as a knowledgeble 3 cushion and one pocket player, I disagree with your assessment of which shot has a higher percentage of 'makeability' and I'm willing to 'put my money where my mouth is'......As the balls in the diagram lie, I'll gamble with you and you can shoot the 3 rail kick and I'll shoot Onepocket73's one rail kiss/carom shot.....You want to do that at the DCC next week? - we could even do it in the AZ/Onepocket.Org room for all to see.

I don't doubt you'll hit it, but to make it is tough. It's not hung, nor is it in line with where the CB will be coming off of the rail.

I've Seen It Done

Jump the cueball over the oneball and make the one in the proper corner on the rebound..... VIOLA !

And if you hit it bad you knock the cue right in the corner, it's a prety simple 3 rail kick.

 

[JimmyB500]

I can make it by banking it in the side and letting it hit the titty and shoot straight back down in the correct corner pocket. I do it one handed for the dough. Just need 278 tries...
