The Pool Hustler's Handbook

Shot #17

The Infamous Three Ball Pyramid

Proposition:  Hit the 8-ball before you hit the 1-ball or 2-ball.

Difficulty Rating:  1

Origin: 

 Fred Hermann.  This is one of the most popular pool betchas ever created.  It is simple to do, yet seems impossible.  Then again, don’t they all.  People have been fleeced with this shot for over a century.

Set-Up:

Freeze the 1-ball and 2-ball to the end rail.  Balance the 8- ball on top of them, with half of the 8-ball resting on the rail.  Fred Hermann suggests rubbing powder on your hands and then rub the ball in it.  This will help the top ball to adhere to the other two.  My recommendation is to lightly tap the lower balls into place.
