Tht will only ork if the table is in good condition but in the mean time using double kiss to ur advantage is a much better option. I mean play the cue ball into the object ball forcing it rebound back into the cue ball then knockin it in the side pocket.
It's not a BS shot and it would work on any american table. Mika Immonen even teaches this same shot in his videos. And I'm pretty sure that guy knows what he is talking about.
Snooker is a great game but I have yet to see a snooker champion win the US Open 9 Ball Championship. Darren Appleton is the first Englishmen to win it but he's no snooker champ either...
British people have problems with Americans in general. They seem to forget that the balls are bigger in AMERICAN POOl @@. That and the Pro play on very tight pocketed tables in pro events. 4 1/2" corners and 4 3/4" MIDDLES (as they call them) side pockets. It takes a great stroke and huge amounts of concentration to play at the pro level on these types of tables. Hell Ill bet whatever any shit englishman has said on here in a game of snooker and ill clean em out. My highest break is an 86!!
SeeGe30 had it right, cushion compression. Shot is documented in Ray Martin's book, "The 99 Critical Shots in Pool" Shot number 33. It is easier to do then sending the ball down to the corner pocket, past the other corner tip. Oh yeah Ray Martin was a world champion straight pool player, so I think he knows his stuff.
nukm4 shot would only work if the table was crooked.
American tables are absolute bs. I play on REAL tables with angled side pockets and small pockets, not those buckets you guys play with; also, you will never see a pro play that shot, because they will most likely play on real tables where that is impossible. Instead, they use a little finesse and cut the ball, very thinly, across the front of the pocket with as little speed as they can; as the ball passes the front of the pocket, it should curve inward and drop.
@nukm4 Nearly every professional pool tournament in the world is played on those so called BS American tables. Any professional pool player of any notoriety in history has made their name on this style of table rather than the UK style.
@Gotwired Great comment. My thoughts exactly. I get tired of all the Snooker and/or English pool players trying to bash our game by saying the pockets are huge. Maybe one day they'll realize how difficult it is to consistently play 9 ball at a high level. I've never seen an Eglish pool table but I love watching snooker and I love playing 9 ball. Why can't they understand that they're all completly different games? This is more of a "trick shot" than a practical in game shot. 99% it's a safety.

the ball just compresses the side point of the cushion allowing the object ball enough time to pass, i like to drill it with bottom myself.

@nukm4 One more thing, on properly set up tables, balls passing in front of the side pocket along the rail at any speed will NOT fall.

Or you could do a frozen rail shot and sent it down to the corner pocket.
