February 2004 Monthly Trickshot:
Gaff Shot
(Large View)
This is a Jopling
origional we call the Gaff Shot because there is a little bit of
trickery involved in making it happen.
Place the 5 ball along the foot
rail halfway between diamonds 7 and 8. Freeze the 2 ball against
the left side rail at diamond
No. 7. Freeze the 4 to the 2 directly in line with the 5 ball.
Tap these balls hard making sure they stay frozen. Pick up the
4 ball and secretly put a pat of chalk on what will become the
contact point when you replace the 4 against the 2. Position
the cueball directly between diamond No. 6 and the 2 ball. Hit
the
2 full in the face with enough speed to sink it in the corner
pocket. Watch it twist.
