What do you have to do in the shot? Are all the balls frozen to the rail or just near the rail?

all 3 frozen to rail, make either ball using draw so that the c.b. comes back to contact the other frozen ball-just merely contact it. It's about 95% impossible. I made it once using elevated cue, masse with bottom inside.

No, it's 95% makable....BUT I too was fooled for a while. As noted in the other thread, I put my bridge hand between the back ball and the CB causing a higher than necessary angle of attack at the CB, which caused some combination of swerve and jump which is what makes the shot so hard.

But when I bridged BEHIND the back ball and used rail side english I made the shot routinely and almost made the back ball a couple of times as well.

Better start out betting a dollar to see if the mark knows the shot!!

Buy BE CAREFUL. An unscrupulous guy could lose a few bucks to you and then bet $100 that he can do it 4 out of 5 times and rob you!!
