Actually, this is a very good proposition shot when you think about it. Remember, if you're COMPETING against the guy, 75% might not be enough to make money and this is by no means a hanger.
that's kinda tricky if you're jacked up...tho it is a bar
box. how'd he do it? 2 rails with inside stun? 2 rails
with outside draw?

Oh just for kicks...didn't see this at the expo, but here's a 3 ball out prop
shot I've seen. You gotta shoot all the balls into the bottom left corner pocket (in order) with ball in hand.

I did it the 'hard' way...going up and down the table to get on the 3. Afterwards, I was told the easy way to do it is to draw the cb off the 1 into the 2, popping the 2 off the rail, giving you a better angle to get on the 3.

I withdraw my earlier comments until I find out exactly what the 2 shot out was, lol. I've heard about 4 different scenarios now, some with the balls frozen, some not, cue close to straight on the 1, cue almost on the opposite rail from the one, ball in hand, etc.
I was there Fri-Sun, but (un?)fortunately our team did really well, making it all the way to the semis on Sunday morning. I never saw the proposition shot in person (and didn't have as much time as I would have liked to check anything else out either). Can't have it both ways I guess. I'm hoping next year I'll be able to spend a lot more time "wandering around."
Definitely gonna look into a hotel next year, though. I figured since it was only an hour drive...lol. Doing it 6 times in three days, half of them at 6am, convinced me otherwise.

following will put you pretty close to the corner pocket scratch............drawing the ball puts you close to a side pocket scratch.........
is 75% good enough odds for you to put a nicket or a dime up for ONE shot???

I am pretty sure that I saw this one In Vegas last year. BabyFace Mike G.
was setting it up. It was at the Sledgehammer Booth or location.

The balls were at least close to this setup. You had to make the ball and get back to the end rail touching the other rails. I only saw one person do it.
I got to within a couple inches twice. I missed the ball the other two times I tried it.

Frankncali: Thats a sweet shot, very tough but i practice/use inside english shots on a regular basis, i think i could prolly nail it in a few tries. I love how the CB seems to push the OB along for a second with extended contact and barely visible multiple hits.

I dunno if i would be willing to bet on it, but if he promised to let me double i wouldnt hesitate. I like this shot loaded with inside english, center ball. At least thats how it appears to me on the WEI table. The side pocket is pretty dangerous with draw, and the corner is dangerous with follow. I didnt actually mean follow when i said it, i was thinking of the inside english i suggested here. I said 75% cause i realize the difficulty in the setup, i woulda said 100% if it was easy.

you probably could beat the corner scratch your way, making it and doing that would be a hell of a stroke, especially for the cash.
personally if i was felling good i'd just make the ball in the corner and go over and back again just to get an angle on the next ball, if its frozen to the rail just put some inside spin with a firm stroke and you should be able to spin the ball down the rail. i don't remember if the second ball was frozen, if its not, then what i suggested wouldn't work.
you would have to really hit the second ball hard the way i suggested and risk scratching a few different ways..........
