What is YOUR shot?

Freeze the object ball on center diamond on end rail. Place two balls at the other end of the table next to each other maybe 1" apart. Half way between the spot and the 2nd diamond up the rail. Place the cue ball directly behind the two balls obstructing the veiw of the object ball. Proceed to jump the two balls and cut the object ball in at the end rail with the apporiate english.

Even Hillbilly can't change the laws of physics. If you hit the cue ball low and hard at a ball two feet away, it will draw, not follow. Unless your description or your diagram are wrong, the shot doesn't "seem" impossible - it *is* impossible.



I'd be interested...

I'm with PJ on this one... I'd have to see it to believe it. Not only do physics not lie... they CAN'T lie

OB on the short rail about 1 diamond from the corner, Cue ball approx. 2 diamonds from the corner on both rails. Hit it hard, full in the face, center, and the OB goes 4-rails into the nearest corner.

I typically cut the OB to an imaginary spot close to 2 diamonds beyond the corner pocket if you follow the long rail...just as a general reference.

Cuetable please?

Ok, I have seen two versions of this shot. First is the one in the side with a string of 6 balls. Place the triangle under the first ball and hit medium firm and they all go. Second is that by, as implied by my previous thread, add a touch of saliva to the contacting points of all the balls and fire away. The saliva takes the spin off the balls and they all travel forward. If this isn't how you shoot it I would love to hear how.

And cuetable, again.. please?
 
usually anything from 115 -120 yards - PERFECT 52 degree wedge for me. $$$$$$ Also pretty good with partial wedges - feel shots from 30-80 yards. Actually those are most impressive since I can hit a wide assortment of shots from that range....lifesavers on short courses :)

As for pool....??? ball in hand for the last all on the table.....
 
help!

Ugh. For some reason every time a Cuetable diagram is used all I get is an empty table with the message "Beta version expired" or something. I keep heading to the CT site for the update but I can't even see it there let alone get it to work!

Can anyone save me from my uselessness? Please?


I'm having the same issue as well. Could someone help a brotha out? thanks!
 
are you guys saying that my shot cant be done??? well it can be done quite easily actually... you just have to know the "trick".... let me show you guys but i expect a tipper from all the money your going to hustle your friends out of :D

CueTable Help




three balls (or 4 or 5 or however many you want to use) are frozen to each other and also frozen to the back rail. you set this up and tell them to try... they can put the cueball anywhere on the table (except frozen to the object balls) and shoot this shot 1000 times and unless they know the trick they will never figure it out... when they finally get tired of trying this is what you do.

if your using 3 balls you will need 2 balls and the cueball (total of 3 balls) to make the shot... you will have to set it up like this.

CueTable Help



you take the other 3 balls and freeze them together and also frozen to the back rail (since they are frozen you can push through them and make a legal shot). just shoot it with a touch of top english... i can make this shot 4 out of 5 times (all 3 balls in the same pocket on the same shot).

its a law of physics... it takes 3 balls to make 3 balls.
 
aparently i cant get the wei table to work either... hopefully i have explained the shot well enough without the tables though... if anyone doesnt understand then send me a PM and i will try to explain it better.

That makes you both wrong :D But I do understand, even after I watched it I swore there was a trick involved, I will try to post a video of this as soon as I can.

I'm having good luck with cuetable so try what I do.

I click the "wrench" to get the tools to draw my cuetable diagram. Once I've completed the diagram, I push the "save page" which is the page of paper with a red dot in it. After that, I "export to clipboard" which is the red circle with a lightning bolt in it. That puts the cuetable link in your computers clipboard.

I move over to AZB and push ctrl-V to paste the link and surround it with the

I'm going to start a new thread in the main forum regarding help on Cuetable

I'm pretty good with cuetable and I do tech support for a living... so I figure we should be able to get the table's up and posted with a bit of luck, and some patience.

"CueTable Help" will be the title

The wei table is also not working for me. The tables show up in this thread, but there are no balls on them, and none of the controls work. When I go to cuetable.com, the table shows up, but none of the tools work, and the balls do not show up at all. The only thing that is visibly different on the table is the text "Beta version expired, please go to CueTable.com for latest updates" at the bottom of the screen.

I have successfully used both versions of the cuetable many times in the past, both for single and muti-page diagrams, and have only recently encountered this problem. So far I have used two different browsers (IE & Firefox), and have updated my ShockWave player to the latest version, but to no avail.

I will post my solution here when/if I get it to work.

YES.... thats what i meant... for some reason the cuetable kept deleting the middle ball but thats how you do it.

its a simple shot and noone ever thinks of doing it that way... ive made many bucks and drinks in bars with this shot.
 
Cuetable

Ok, I tried it again in IE (had not done that since updating ShockWave), and now it works for me. I would recommend that anyone who is still having trouble go to adobe's website and download the newest shockwave player. I still cannot get it to work in Firefox, however.

I heard that Larry shoots this shot one-handed. Is that correct?

Interesting... I'm running into the same thing... sorta

I'm using Firefox and I'm not seeing the balls or page numbers or tools or anything in the threads. If I go to Cuetable.com and do anything, it seems to work just fine... multi page and everything works ok.

Maybe something to do with the AZbilliards code isn't translating it correctly? A bug or something... I'm going with a fluke, but there's about 4 layouts above that I can't see any balls on.
 
I haven't seen this posted, so I will share.

I saw Efren make this same shot on youtube somewhere> I proceeded directly to the pool hall to recreate and couldn't do it until I got some help from Amsterdam Billiards house pro Rolando Aravena.

The key is to hit the ball top right, so that it curves a bit as it comes of the short rail. I can hit the 8 ball about 70% of the time, but making it is a bit harder. I could put the 8 right in the jaws, but then there are much easier ways to pot it.

Ok, I right clicked... went to "About Shockwave Player"... had to allow a popup... it took me to a shockwave update sites, I clicked download now like 3 times or so... then it downloaded and pulled up the cuetable, balls and all, version 1.09
if you haven't already, you might give that a shot
 
Bar fun trick shot

This shot works best on a 9'. Set the balls frozen as shown. Challenge the fish to make the combo on the 9. It should be set up frozen on the rail and all OB frozen together.

How to make the shot? Apply a little saliva between the two and nine then freeze em up. Works everytime. No saliva, no 9.
