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 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.
This shot I made many times. My past time hobby was working in pool halls. From top short rail to bottom short rail, did it many times. Br the way I'm 77.
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”
The key is to aim the cue ball slightly at the object ball so the 'deflection effect', caused by striking the cue ball on the right side (right hand english) changes the direction of the cue ball enough to move it to the left and fully onto the rag.
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!
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.
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. 😂
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.
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? 😊
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
Howdy! I'm pretty new to APA, and even though it's not super common, shots like this can come up a decent bit. It's a hard but not impossible shot, especially on the 7 foot tables most players use. So while a professional player would likely avoid being in this position in the first place, it is decently common in amateur tournaments, if still rarely made.

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 thought exactly the same thing but no one taught me anything there! I had to learn the old fashion way called play and pay.
I didn't learn that one either.
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

Yes, ten miles to get to school, uphill, in the snow.
@elpacho....9254 Snow in LB CA, don't think so. And it was only 7 miles to school and downhill. But already graduated, unlike others.

Excellent tutorial

Error, it's by the way not br,my mistake
3 rail bank in the side or one rail kick from top short rail.
3 rails in the side pocket
I practiced this shot many times before. Great shot!
Awesome trick shots🌲

Glad your back finally 🙌 😊
I was JUST thinkin about this shot for the first time the other day. thats funny
Almost anytime the object ball is frozen to the rail you should hit the rail first, basic pool shooting 101!
Couldn’t have said it better
@@bobbycuesroadhouse2204How about when the 8 is 60 inches from the pocket instead of 16?
To pot a frozen ball up the rail it's best to have 50/50 contact with both ball and rail
@@bmac7885 I disagree, though there are circumstances where this true

A Great lesson on a Great shot. One that I was taught this past Winter. By a good Friend, & i was successful with it. Thank you.
Very knowledgeable for a young dude....thanks ;)
Wonder how many tries it took?
He spliced the video so it definitely wasn't on the first try. Lol.
No but this shot isn't that difficult with a little practice. I can do it fairly consistently
@@brandonboatner9952 No,what?
Damn I like pools too but damn how many times you going to do that man just get on with the shot
How to make a 30s video 4mins long
damn, that's nuts ! :)

Well, that's not really even sound advice.
What if your opponent leaves you in that position?
That was a 4 minute explanation of a 5 second topic.
How many tries did it take you before you made it?
Go up and back. Or 3 rail.
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.
On RUclips, click on the "Settings" icon at the bottom of the screen (looks like a gear). Click on "Playback speed. Choose 0.25.
Thanks, Captain Obvious.
Exactly 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯😅😅😅😅😂❤❤❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊😊
@@zeetty i did this but the image is bad,
The Brand of your Queue?!
Great tip! Thanks
3 rails in the side has a greater chance to go in
Even when frozen, depends on how close it is to the pocket. I go down table for the bank, even if you're a little off, it goes in.
Really easy safety shot
Great shot!! 3 rails are more fun 👍
Yep. Start playing snooker, banks, and golf. You will learn many different scenerios to make this ball and 3 rail bank. How about just playing safety.
Tree rails First , 8 in that corner .
Do it with both balls frozen to the end rails mid dot. It takes a lot of practice but can be done.
Such a good teacher :)
How do you play with all that shit in the way?
Good pool player but a piss poor organizer.
Make wooden cues great again.
May I ask that's what brand cue
Cool, thanks! But where is the side pocket at the bottom of the screen?
Just to the right of the 3rd diamond.
DAMN!! 😲🙏

You sound like your high again my son... are you high 😂😂😂😂😢😢😮😮😅😅😅😊❤❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉😢😢😢😮😮😮😅😅😅😊😊😊😊
Great to see you back making videos...... Hope you keep them coming !!!! SALUTE !!!
No hit should hit the rail on the other side to get the cue ball hit behind the eight
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.
You will try it when you’re stitched up, not afforded any viable options, including safes.
I would use one tip off center qb
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.

True? 😊
Great shot man!
What about 3 rails in the side pocket?
how many tries did it take you to make it? 100?
I grew up in a pool hall
I have not seen any top snooker player using this technique, not applicable?
For one shoot, million talks
I am so going to use this for evil purposes.
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
That's called the "roadman cut" :-)
I wish I could've seen that in slow motion.
👍👍 Good shot, but to much blahblablablablaah!👍👍
3 in the same side
It's actually a bank shot.
How many attempts to make that low probability shot? I noticed all the other balls disappeared on the attempt you made it
It's a two rail bank shot
Take up snooker 😂... Sorry guys but your decades behind
you should have done this video in 30 seconds
need slow mo
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
Shot that is only made in playroom not in tournament. Even him would NEVER do this in actual game.
Howdy! I'm pretty new to APA, and even though it's not super common, shots like this can come up a decent bit. It's a hard but not impossible shot, especially on the 7 foot tables most players use. So while a professional player would likely avoid being in this position in the first place, it is decently common in amateur tournaments, if still rarely made.
You need to clear some room up. Too cluttered to play
The higher probability shot is to just do a safety shot.
