Awesome. Made me literally LOL when you did it. I grew up with pool tables in our basement as a kid on Chicago's NW Side and was seen as pretty damned good. I could hold my own against some regulars, but I've never seen this kick-shot made. In that scenario, I might have tried for a safety shot off the 8 that put the cue ball at the farthest opposite corner from me...and then 🙏.
I learned this shot in the late '60s but on the long rail and using low English with the spin. Back then there weren't any low deflection shafts and even more compensation had to be taken into consideration.
You can do from an even more extreme angle if swerve it, but the the issue that is you have hit it with so much power with millimeter precision just knock the object ball along the cushion with the thinnest of cuts. The shot is most likely to be played if you're ball is near a rail cushion and the object ball is inches from the pocket and tight on the cushion. Good luck ever pulling off that shot in a pressure situation.
Cool! I wonder if you could improve the video by showing some slow motion. From the angle you're showing, and another angle overhead. It would be neat to see the English.
You might get away with that a couple of times on a pool table with wider pockets that are cut with angled cushions to accept the object ball, but no chance on a UK pub pool table with narrower pockets with rounded cushions or on a full size 12 x 6 snooker table. 😂
I spent a lot of my youth in the local pool hall. Nobody taught this shot to me. That was fun. Thanks for posting.
I thought exactly the same thing but no one taught me anything there! I had to learn the old fashion way called play and pay.

Excellent tutorial
I was JUST thinkin about this shot for the first time the other day. thats funny
3 rail bank in the side or one rail kick from top short rail.
3 rails in the side pocket
Very knowledgeable for a young dude....thanks ;)

Glad your back finally 🙌 😊
Awesome trick shots🌲
I practice this shot from the head rail to the foot rail, its called the impossible shot, very hard to do, but looks so cool when you make it

On KRplus, click on the "Settings" icon at the bottom of the screen (looks like a gear). Click on "Playback speed. Choose 0.25.
Great shot!! 3 rails are more fun 👍
Yep. Start playing snooker, banks, and golf. You will learn many different scenerios to make this ball and 3 rail bank. How about just playing safety.
Such a good teacher :)
Damn I like pools too but damn how many times you going to do that man just get on with the shot
Great tip! Thanks
Great to see you back making videos...... Hope you keep them coming !!!! SALUTE !!!
Almost anytime the object ball is frozen to the rail you should hit the rail first, basic pool shooting 101!
Couldn’t have said it better
@@bobbycuesroadhouse2204How about when the 8 is 60 inches from the pocket instead of 16?
To pot a frozen ball up the rail it's best to have 50/50 contact with both ball and rail
@@bmac7885 I disagree, though there are circumstances where this true
DAMN!! 😲🙏
Really easy safety shot
The Brand of your Queue?!
Go up and back. Or 3 rail.
Make wooden cues great again.
How do you play with all that shit in the way?
Good pool player but a piss poor organizer.
I wish I could've seen that in slow motion.
May I ask that's what brand cue
Cool, thanks! But where is the side pocket at the bottom of the screen?
Just to the right of the 3rd diamond.
Wonder how many tries it took?

Great shot man!
3 rails in the side has a greater chance to go in
No hit should hit the rail on the other side to get the cue ball hit behind the eight
I have not seen any top snooker player using this technique, not applicable?
I am so going to use this for evil purposes.
Take up snooker 😂... Sorry guys but your decades behind
3 in the same side
