Very nice trickshot on YouTube

That was a very nice trick shot, but he's gotta give up that whole "Lord of Pool" moniker. I mean, really?
 
That is an old shot. I'll bet he had to shoot it a bunch of times before he made it on tape. That's not a shot you'd see in very many trickshot shows because of the accuracy needed to come back into the CB, in order to make the kick with the CB. Speed and spin can affect this shot tremendously. Nice shot nonetheless!

Yeah, I've played around with that one a time or two. As Scott Lee aludes, the shot is difficult due to the force needed to both spin the cue and drive the first ball accurately and ultimately in a repeatable fashion.

The cushions on that table look fast which makes the shot a lot easier. It can also be played as a 3-cushion shot on a carom table. I think Freddy the Beard said the shot was a favorite of Harold Worst, who made the shot look easy. The first object ball starts on the second diamond on the long rail. Mark or note a spot on the wall to line up the cue ball consistently. Lots of right side spin.
 
anyone can make almost any shot if all they do is practice it all day

they real skill is in duplicating it over and over again under different conditions
 
Here is a really great trick shot by Russian artist Mikhail Mossin. He invented it and named "From Moscow to Vladivostok". You'll have to download it to watch but when watching smth at YouTube you d/l it anyway.

Mossin reported when Mike Massey tried to make it he struggled until he broke his shaft :D

The best example of this is the amazing Kimura trick shot tape. I hear it took him six months to complete, but you will see a lot of shots that no sane exhibition player will try to duplicate. In one of the shots, he runs a masse shot between a long line of balls and the cushion and then shows that there was less than a business card's thickness of extra room between the cushion and the line.

I saw a video of this in a sales presentation out in Vegas at one of the tournaments there. You are correct. This guy is simply amazing on some of his trick shots. You have to see to believe.
