The masse carom combo for breakout shot

I was dead stuck in this situation the other night in an 8 ball tournament. I hadn't been playing well in a couple weeks and was a little frustrated. I decided to just go for it as I thought I might be able to breakout the problems and make the seven in the corner. This is what I attempted and was able to execute.

Note: I am in no way trying to brag, because I can barely make two spherical objects clang together, so please don't take me the wrong way. I was simply pleased to have been able to make this shot as planned. I was amazed that I actually made the combo, because it wasn't "wired." There was a gap between the balls and it was not lined up perfectly into the pocket, so my masse had to actually cut in the combo with throw.

P.S. yes I was able to run out from here and win the match.

Great shot!

My problem with shots like these is if I make one, it makes me think I can do it when it comes up again. LOL

Thanks. It's kinda like when someone cracks your aces with 5 2 and tries it again later thinking they'll catch lightning in a bottle.
