I masse with the my right hand 'reversed' on the cue - "thumb and foreFinger closest to the butt".

I'm feelin' more and more - DO IT! YEAH BABY on these shots. Gettin' pretty darn good at pin-point masse. Check this shot out - made about 5 minutes ago :)

Any other 'masse' fiends out there? You can really get to "feel" these things just like any other stroke. Been doing it for years - but its just been better and better!

I love masse shots, and I'm very good at them. the reason is that there's a progressive masse drill I've practiced for years, which is shown below. all you have to do is keep making the one ball by masseing around the obstructions. Don't use a full masse, just a half masse, and you'll master many of the combinations of slide and curve pertinent to masse shots.

Wow - great Drill. Sure I can nail it to the 4th ball - 5th and their after require some real stroke on that dude :)

Glad to see I'm not the only 'insane' shooter out there. Takes GUTS to apply this stuff in a match and I live for the moment.

9-ball I recieve many shots require 'jump' or kick - Most time I can nail it with leave with some very kool masse. Thanx for the drill, I'll be jumpin' on that one for sure :)
 
LOVE Masse

I love masse shots and I too 'feel' them and make them a large % of the time. One time when horsing around at a bar, on bar table, with bar cue, (ball and stick) with new friends -- who didn't know I played pool -- made this shot twice in about five games:
