A Tricky Hicky
Freeze
the 4, 3, 2, and 1-balls in a straight line, to the cushion, at
the 2nd diamond. Tap the balls so that they stay in position. Put
the tip of your cuestick in the left side of the side pocket and
ease the butt of the cue over against the 1-ball. Place the 9-ball
along side the butt, with 1" of space between the 1-ball and
9-ball. Tap the 9 into place. Tell your audience that you're going
to make a good hit on the 1-ball, and pocket the 9-ball in the
opposite side pocket. Using low right english, and a medium speed
stroke, hit as much of the 1-ball as you can without touching the
9-ball. The 9 should go right into the side pocket. A soft stroke
will make the 9 go long, and too hard of a stroke will make it
run short.
