The Hustler
This shot can be made so the average
player cannot tell what has happened. He knows the shot was not “on”.
The balls must be arranged in a similar manner
as the ones you see diagrammed. “whitey” and the nine
are lined up straight in the pocket. The two interfering balls,
the 7 and 8, are angled
not only to clear the way for the one coming cuestick, but to deflect “whitey” out
of its path also. The nine goes in the pocket like a bullet.
I advise you not to try this technique in a
stakes game with anyone other than amatuers. You may get thumbs
busted.
Do the shot over in slow motion for those who
thought it was legit. |
