I spent a lot of my youth in the local pool hall. Nobody taught this shot to me. That was fun. Thanks for posting.

I learned this shot in the late '60s but on the long rail and using low English with the spin. Back then there weren't any low deflection shafts and even more compensation had to be taken into consideration.

Awesome. Made me literally LOL when you did it. I grew up with pool tables in our basement as a kid on Chicago's NW Side and was seen as pretty damned good. I could hold my own against some regulars, but I've never seen this kick-shot made. In that scenario, I might have tried for a safety shot off the 8 that put the cue ball at the farthest opposite corner from me...and then 🙏.

I practiced this shot many times before. Great shot!

Very knowledgeable for a young dude....thanks ;)

He’s missing the ball by a millimeter, with spin, then after the rail, it will kick off and hit it in perfectly. That’s an awesome shot. I always said:”It’s all in the cue contact or English”

I practice this shot from the head rail to the foot rail, its called the impossible shot, very hard to do, but looks so cool when you make it

Excellent tutorial

3 rail bank in the side or one rail kick from top short rail.

Wonder how many tries it took?

I was JUST thinkin about this shot for the first time the other day. thats funny

Great tip! Thanks

How many times did it take to get it? I notice the other balls mysteriously disappeared. The best way to play this shot is to never leave yourself in that position in the first place!

How many tries did it take you before you made it?

Awesome trick shots🌲

You can do from an even more extreme angle if swerve it, but the the issue that is you have hit it with so much power with millimeter precision just knock the object ball along the cushion with the thinnest of cuts. The shot is most likely to be played if you're ball is near a rail cushion and the object ball is inches from the pocket and tight on the cushion. Good luck ever pulling off that shot in a pressure situation.

Really easy safety shot

Damn I like pools too but damn how many times you going to do that man just get on with the shot

Glad your back finally 🙌 😊

3 rails in the side has a greater chance to go in

Great shot!! 3 rails are more fun 👍

Almost anytime the object ball is frozen to the rail you should hit the rail first, basic pool shooting 101!

The Brand of your Queue?!

Such a good teacher :)

Great to see you back making videos...... Hope you keep them coming !!!! SALUTE !!!

DAMN!! 😲🙏

May I ask that's what brand cue

Wait a doggone hairy-legged minute!! In other videos you said left spin on the cue ball makes object ball go to the right, right spin on the cue ball makes object go left. I know I heard you say that- you repeated it three or four times. So, if the desired pocket is to the right of the object ball, you would want left spin on the cue ball, not right spin. True? 😊

Go up and back. Or 3 rail.

You might get away with that a couple of times on a pool table with wider pockets that are cut with angled cushions to accept the object ball, but no chance on a UK pub pool table with narrower pockets with rounded cushions or on a full size 12 x 6 snooker table. 😂

Cool, thanks! But where is the side pocket at the bottom of the screen?

Great shot man!

Make wooden cues great again.

Cool! I wonder if you could improve the video by showing some slow motion. From the angle you're showing, and another angle overhead. It would be neat to see the English.

No hit should hit the rail on the other side to get the cue ball hit behind the eight

How do you play with all that shit in the way?

What about 3 rails in the side pocket?

I wish I could've seen that in slow motion.

I am so going to use this for evil purposes.

I have not seen any top snooker player using this technique, not applicable?

When you were talking about the spin and deflection. Could you just used backhand English in this case? In this way the deflection is taken care of

How many attempts to make that low probability shot? I noticed all the other balls disappeared on the attempt you made it

👍👍 Good shot, but to much blahblablablablaah!👍👍

Take up snooker 😂... Sorry guys but your decades behind

Very confusing. It's called right hand spin but the cue ball spins left [ counter clockwise ]? In the UK this would be called "running side" because the object ball is accelerated by the side. Interesting to see it used for trick shots instead of cue ball positioning / pace control like in Snooker. Different objective I suppose

3 in the same side
