Stupid bank shot....................

The harder you hit it, the more it turns.
Bar rules, really?
Grady was mistaken it was called as a 2 railer and went as a two railer. The three railer from this spot would have really crowded the nine ball going across after the first rail. Spaeth was one of the top two or three bankers at the time and was unbelievable. In '87 I saw him run 14 banks only interrupted by the breaks playing a match of nine ball banks against Wade Crane in Lexington Ky
Sent you a greenie......:thumbup::thumbup:
Patrick, I apologize for my ignorant comment to you, made in the Indian/arrow thread. Was going to send a PM, but rather it public. I do usually enjoy the information you post. I had my panties in a bunch, that day.
Both the two railer and the 3 railer are rather common shots at one pocket
It has been my experience that if you hit it too hard it won't go 2
also hitting the shot with not much English produced better rests than getting out on the edge of Judy
When Eddie Taylor hit most banks he was usually close to center ball
Especially on the little 1 rail shot that looks a lot like this where you have the object ball in the well
and need to cut it an inch or so up away from the coener pocket and reverse it to come back cross corner
I think John Brumback demonstrates these little shots that are so important in one pocket in his videos
Some of you guys might find these and post them for the rest of us
Tom Wirth might demonstrate these also,they are crowd pleasers but not too difficultonce you get the knack of it
or I wouldn't have made them

One of the best for sure. Shots like this were entertaining but not surprising.
No, it is a serious question. Many straight back 1 railers rub a second rail on the way in.
Someone responded he called it 2 rails, I clearly saw 3 rails so what gives?
You don't need left depending on the cut angle. I normally demonstrate it with center ball.
At bank pool, hitting the cushion adjacent to the called pocket just before the ball goes in does not count as a struck bank. Grady misspoke when he called it a 3-rail shot.

I have made the 3 in the side a couple hundred times , 4 in the side the same way multiple times although it is hard for me to generate that much power, but the shot Gary shot is 50 times harder becuse there is no where for the cueball to go except perfect or it's a double kiss.
This is one of my standard demo shots I show new players and others for fun. Though, "mine" is the triple bank back to the other side pocket. It just looks more cool going that extra rail, lol. Super easy shot actually. I remember Brian Gregg shot the triple rail shot into the corner in that major comeback of his that year he won the DCC ring game over Daulton if I recall. Easy shot, try it (with left as Jay says...:thumbup

Except the left is completely unnecessary!
My standard placement for the 3-rail shot is with the object ball centered between the two side pockets (on the center spot) and the cue ball about 10 inches straight towards a side pocket. The shot is a half-ball hit on the object ball with no spin whatsoever on the cue ball. That works fine and it is easy for a beginner to do on his own, as long as he can hit the ball hard enough.
The shot does not work so well on new cloth because you tend to get slippage rather than reversing side spin on the slippery rails.
Does anybody know if the 3-rail cross side can be made with the OB crossing between the pockets off the first or second rail (and then reversing into the pocket)?
Seems to me I've seen that done...?
pj <- maybe I've done it
