what's the name of this shot?
short-long, ball, long, ball (sometimes it'll hit the short rail just before the ball).
is this also an umbrella? there's 2-ways to this type of shot too.

i know this, outside umbrella > long-short, ball, long, ball
and this, inside umbrella > long, ball, short-long, ball
but both of the above starts with long.

i checked some of my books but cant nail it down. thanks. n_den

ah yes, the shot you describe is true. i must adjust what i meant to ask. it should be:

what's the name of this shot?
short-long, ball, NOT the same long rail, ball (sometimes it'll hit the short rail just before the ball).
is this also an umbrella?

see my shots below at the 46 sec and at 1:43 for the shots.

thanks. n_den

umbrella shot in 3 cushion billiards definition
.........................
In 3-cushion billiards, the umbrella shot is a standard shot where the cue ball hits two cushions before contacting the first object ball, then hits one more cushion and spins out to strike the second object ball.

  • This shot is often executed with inside english (spin) on the cue ball to facilitate the angle required to hit the second rail after the first ball contact.
  • It is distinct from the "lag ticky" or "inside umbrella" variations, which may involve different rail sequences or require hitting the rail before the first ball in a specific corner configuration.
