Setting up the Shots
The diagrams in this book were designed for the beginner as well
as the advanced player who is interested in learning trick shots.
The instructions, which may seem lengthy to some, are deemed necessary
for the beginner. However, anyone familiar with trick shots can
simply memorize the key below, set up the shots from the diagrams,
and whack them in as instructed by the silhouette. |

Key to Diagrams |
|
Solid Ball—The Cueball, Whitey, Snow, the Rock. |
|
Numbered Balls—Object balls. |
|
Broken Ball—Balls used for setting up the shots and then removed
from the table. |
|
Dotted Lines—Aiming and lining up balls |
|
Solid Lines—Path of cueball |
|
Broken Lines—Path of object balls. |
|
Cuestick—Indicates the direction of shot |
|
|
Cueball Silhouette—How to hit the shot. |
|
For better visibility the balls in these diagrams are large in
proportion to the table. However, this should not interfere when
setting up the shots.
The following trick shots were proven on 4.5' x 9' commercial
tables. Some may need adjustment on smaller or non commercial home
tables, because, the rails on less expensive ones rebound differently.
