I have submitted one of my favorite trick shots here. I realize this is not traditional practice for your game, but a good trick shot are great to have. I find that when practicing with drills and whatnot sometimes practicing a good trick shot rejuvenates me to go back to practice. Its a great break from the drills, and most trick shots require great pool skill to complete, so you can hone in on your skills while having some fun.

One of the most stunning shots I've ever seen done by none other then the great trick shot man Mr. Rossman aka "Dr. Cue" He performed this shot during the 2002 finals of the "Trick Shot Magic Tour" against Mr. Pelinga. This shot begins with sending the 9-ball for a 6 rail ride aiming at #11 diamond. Speed and timing is the key here. After sending the nine ball off on its journey (point 'A') prepare yourself to hit the CB into the rail into point 'B'. Depending on the speed you hit the 9-ball, you should hit the CB when the 9-ball is in the vicinity of point 'C'. This shot is made by shooting the CB into the rail and since the balls would be frozen and pointing along the path shown the shot is the easy part. The timing of the shot is the challenge. If you timed this amazing shot correctly the 9 and 3 balls will meet at point 'D' pocketing the 9 in the corner. Truly an impressive shot!
