Billiards: Advanced Shots: Part 2 : Full Masse Shot in Pool

sweet shot

[007kclaw]

hello, i have been playing for about 20 years now and have made myself know locally for my trick shots. i use a masse a lot ( 2 or 3 times in 20 racks or so) when getting out of traps and have gotten very proficient at the light masse. i have won bets on being able to make the shot he just did with out touching the felt with the tip. the trick is to use more side spin and don't send the Q ball out so far into the table, does it have to be a yo-yo shot to be considered a full masse?

[kissm3123]

To execute a full masse shot, elevate your cue to about 90 degrees, and hit the cue ball on the right if you want it to masse to the right, and of cause, left if you want it to go left.

Your tip of the cue must end up hitting the table, and do chalk up your cue, as the chalk will fade very fast whenever you masse.

Hope this helps :)

"Cue For Christ"???!?? i want that t shirt, i can wear it when my "christians for firearms" sweat shirt is dirty

[bryngOneOn]

WOW! An actual expert on expert village, normally they just pull someone off the street and give them a book of a beginners guide to read on the subject in question before pushing them into the camera shot 2 minutes later. Until this video was shown i was never sure if expert village was meant to be some comedy wind up. maybe expert village just got lucky and the random member of public by accident just happened to be an expert on trick shots. well law of averages and all that.

A full masse is only feesible in a real game when there is no bank, kick, or legal jump available to contact the object ball. However, a slight masse is a VERY useful shot, and pro's use them more than you'd think. I use a slight masse around one out of every 10-20 games or so.

[crazy00metal]

does your pool cue hit the table?

and where do you aim at the white ball?

[adriadis]

why dont you just hit the white ball down to jump???

[XISpaceJam]

he didnt even explain where to aim it -__________-

[adriadis]

[kwyjiboy11]

Banking it would be easier

[changes8]

stroke it properly. thats funny.

[frankqio]

Masses shot is quite useful !

[MRCALIfornyay]

he said that its rare but it happens in like a 30-40% chance he just says not to practice it caz he cant do it

[PapieZ89]

"Cue4Christ" :D

[GyprockMusic]

No you wouldn't use it for money or a title but if your goofing around in the bar (and the bartender isnt looking, bars hate this shot) its fun to do.

[bish008]

what does he mean "leave this shot up to the trick shot artists and for t.v."Kinda like children, don't try this at home.He's a flippin idiot,besides it isn't that difficult to do with a bunch of practice.

[agindles]

masse is really pretty easy. way easier than an accurate jump shot.

[dianaji]

easy for you but i still cant it down

[iCaraMelSHOW]

ur an idiot !!!

[Polus24]

@daveyboy19841 I think he's saying that's it's a stupid shot to use in competiton because it's such a low percentage shot. I agree it's fun to do but would you risk it when playing for the title or lots of money?

[daveyboy19841]

thats a fair comment but i do use a alot of them shots. i dont play for money i play for the love of the game.

[lakunas23]

I can't speak for all, but I compete and I sometimes am forced to play this shot in matches, jumps also. With a lot of practise ( I have about 2 hours per day), you can quite nicely predict this shot. And I also play for the love of the game :)

[superschema]

Dude watch the video, He just did it

[yancywalker]

great teacher

[ttom00]

yeah now i just need to know where to hit it and learn how to aim it somewhat properly

[JessandJR]

YOU HAVE TO STROKE IT PROPERLY

[superschema]

I caught that one too!

[keenster14]

Yeah, this is more for me!! ;) I am an artistic pool player, and masse' is my favorite discipline. This was kinda well explained I guess...

[LitOBOo]

man none of ur videos are good they don't show where to hit the cue

[keenster14]

To make a masse' shot, you need to hit about 1 1/2 tips south of the center of the cue ball

[cuetech1127]

well explained. maybe a few different camera angles on how to hit the cue ball for people who aren't exactly sure.

[normanem206]

where do you hit it

[h4l0h0l4]
