HSV B.11 - One-pocket "beat the kiss" cross corner bank shot

http://billiards.colostate.edu

Example rail-frozen cross-corner bank shot in the pool/billiards game of one-pocket, where the pocket is used to delay the cue ball so the object ball can clear without a double kiss.

bottom-left-english, to make this shot? :)

@mortensen741

The english doesn't matter much if you hit the pocket point i the right spot.

One must wonder why anyone would rate a video like this below five stars: are there any more helpful videos of pool shots than ones with high-speed cameras, which allow us to understand (and discuss) the physics of a shot (as well as improve upon our execution thereof)? Thanks for uploading, great work!

[DrDaveBilliards]

Thanks. I guess some people out there just don't like me. :(

I agree with you. I think the information in this video is "gold."

Agreed. This shot won't work on every table, and the best ball placement will be different from one table to the next, depending on pocket geometry. Also, tables with tight pockets will require a more accurate hit.

@DrDaveBilliards Try it on a tournament table, it'll make a difference :)

No English is necessary. The cut angle throws and induces a small amount of spin on the object ball, allowing it to bank cross corner.

do you use any english on this shot?

[DrDaveBilliards]

Agreed. The pockets play "big" on this table. If the pockets played "tight" it would have taken a lot longer to film the video. The shot is hard enough already, even on an "easy" table.

I wasn't referring to the video,it is cool, just the table is easy :D
