The Pool Hustler's Handbook

Shot #18

Cue Ball, Side Pocket

Proposition: 

Make the 8-ball in Pocket X and the 9-ball in Pocket Y and the cue ball in the either side pocket.

Difficulty Rating:  2

Origin: 

Unknown.  This is the first billiard brainteaser I ever used to hustle someone.  Shown to me by my Uncle Joey at my father’s firehouse in N.Y.  Even Kresken could not have predicted this shot would be in my book twenty-eight years later.

Set-Up:

 Place the 8-ball in front of Pocket X and the 9-ball in front of Pocket Y.  Surround each side pocket with four balls.
