Have you seen this made? Looks like you'd have to hit it impossibly hard.Here is a very old proposition shot. How many tries would you give someone for a small wager? The one and cue ball each go three cushions and the cue ball hits the nine in.

For a small wager, anybody I know can have the rest of their lives to do it once.

It depends on the table. It works best on fast cloth with sticky, lively rails.Have you seen this made? Looks like you'd have to hit it impossibly hard. For a small wager, anybody I know can have the rest of their lives to do it once.

Maybe Norm Webber?I was shown that shot by an old player years ago called "Farmer" I think his first name was Norman. He could make the shot in like 3 tries. After he left we shot the shot all day and maybe it was made twice. Im not talking suckers, good players.
The problem with the shot is, it has so many elements that have to work to make the shot.
With that said, Norm could make it almost at will.

When I played regularly at Kip's (which is a block from the Cal campus but sadly no longer has pool tables), I made an unobtrusive mark on the wall by the front table. With the ball on the second diamond as shown, all I had to do was shoot the ball towards the "spot on the wall" and spin the cue ball a little. My usual offer was ten tries.
One time I had the bet up -- something like three dollars. I asked for three warm up shots and made it on the third try. Then I failed to make it in the ten counting shots. The client paid me the three dollars anyway saying that seeing the shot was worth it.
It is much easier as a three cushion shot on a carom table.
No, it's from the fact that the drawing program has a glitch that tends to put in an extra short segment at the start of a multi-section line and Bob has a glitch that keeps him from always catching the program's glitch.... Is the small curve in the 1 ball's initial path intentional? ...
So you bank the object ball two rails and it comes back and caroms the cue ball 2 or 3 rails into the ball hanger...like Barry Bonds one must hit it
Egggsellllenttt!I just tried it about a dozen times. I'd pay up to see it live![]()
