Billiards: Advanced Shots: Part 2 : The Carom Shot in Pool

[rfrancis95]

well what this guy didnt mention, what it looks like cuz he dont postion the camra to where we can see, the 1 ball can go by itself, no need to carom the 1 ball off the 5, if u couldnt make the 1 ball by itself here then u need to stop playing pool forever cuz i can make that 1 ball by itself with my eyes closed

What the video didn't point out is that the ball will only follow the tangent line if it is stunned (no spin/roll) at the point of impact. He hits the one ball quite slowly, giving it a chance to develop forward roll before it hits the five ball, so the final angle would be more straight than the tangent line. The reason the shot is still successful is because the five ball is quite close to the pocket and hence there's a fairly large margin of error.

One of the most useful shots in the game. When there is no straight shot, chances are there is a pretty sweet carom shot you can make happen. VERY EFFECTIVE.
