The Pool Hustler's Handbook

Shot #9

(Solution)

Secret:

 Although you are giving away the secret when you say, “Using a piece of chalk and a triangle…” most people would still not know what to do.  Do you?  The clever answer is to place the 1-ball on the piece of chalk and place a triangle in between the 1-ball and 2-ball.

Execution:

 Place the 1-ball on the piece of chalk and place a triangle in between the 1-ball and 2-ball.  Shoot the cueball with a medium speed and the 1-ball will be propelled over the triangle and into Pocket X.  Likewise, the triangle will push the 2-ball into the same pocket. 

Trick of the Trade: 

According to Rick, if you shoot the cueball at the correct speed, you can make the 1-ball land in the corner pocket.  Experience has proven you should make sure nobody or nothing is behind the corner while you are practicing.   Just ask my labrador retriever.  Sorry Paisan.

Happy Hustling
