How to Make a Kick Shot


Submitted by Mick Turner (mick)

Your CB contact point on the cushion is at the arrow point on the Black Line. Hit your CB at the cushion with center hit, no english, top or bottom, and hit at medium speed. The CB will contact the cushion, and bank into the OB on the rebound, pocketing it (if you hit it right). Just as in shooting cut shots, depending on angle of approach, you will have to compensate your aim more or less to make the CB actually hit the contact point. On longer shots, the CB will roll forward more and tend to rebound wider... so you will need to compensate the aim slightly outside the angle of aim. On a kick going left, aim slightly right and visa-versa on right kick. How much depends on distance, cushion and CB speed. Practice this to find out how it works on your table.

Of course in this example we ignore the fact that the CB will likely scratch in the side pocket. I tried this shot several times and made it but also scratched. The reason for this example is to show that bad things can happen...so you might want to try the next shot instead.

Other considerations: If you come up short (not enough angle), you hit to soft...long (too much angle) you hit too hard, assuming you put no side english on the CB. In that case you will cause the CB to go off path either way depending on english. That is why I suggest, until your skill is more advanced, shooting these shots with NO english or top/bottom so the effects of ball speed, cushion compression/rebound, and english are minimized.
