The Pool Hustler's Handbook

Shot #4

Three Balls in the Side Pocket

Proposition:  In one shot, pocket the 7-ball, 8-ball, and 9-ball in Pocket X under these conditions:

1)                  You must make the balls in numerical order.

2)                  You cannot touch the 4-ball.

3)                  You can use a triangle.

Difficulty Rating:  1

Origin: 

Unknown.  This was the first shot I ever “got taken with.”  Unfortunately, it was not the last.  I lost a chocolate chip cookie to my mother when I was three years old.  Is it any wonder she is nicknamed “Cookie”?

Set-Up:

Freeze the 7-ball, 8-ball, and 9-ball to each other in front of Pocket X.  Place the 4-ball about one foot away.  Start with the cue ball in the center of the table.
