Or maybe this? It doesn't look like he can get it short enough this way?

Wow!

 

[iusedtoberich]

Is this shot possible?

This is actually one of my favorite shots. Not the kind of shot someone at my level should try at any serious game, but there is a version of this shot Sang Lee shot on an Accu-Stat video many, many years ago and I never forgot it.

If you hit the correct side of the first ball, in many cases the combination of spin will not only give you a good chance to score, but it is also a cool looking shot and I enjoy making these kind of shots more than banging out a bunch of naturals.

Very hard to aim. Speed, spin, angle into the cushion are all tricky. More a feel shot to me than any kind of system thing.

Efren plays the second half of my shot on a pool table. Watching this, I think the full shot is possible on a carom table. I think it can have enough speed on a carom table.

Willie Mosconi did that shot but from close to the corner pocket to Efren's right.
