February 2006 Monthly Trickshot:
The Triple-Side Bank
(Large View)
The Triple-Side Bank
Place the 2-ball in front of the
side pocket, about 1/4 to 1/3 of the width of the table, away from
the pocket opening. Place the cueball one foot away from the 2-ball,
slightly off straight on, so that you can cut the 2-ball backwards.
Shoot the center of the cueball at the edge of the 2-ball, hard,
with a dead center stroke. The 2-ball will bank three times cross
the table, and go into the opposite side pocket. Even though some
trick shot books say you need to shoot this shot with sidespin,
it is not necessary. |
