About The Shot

On this jump-masse shot, the cue ball jumps out of the rack, goes up and pockets one hanging ball in the opposite corner pocket, then reels back in along the short rail to get the other hanging ball.

Discipline: Masse

Difficulty: Advanced

Make This Shot

I place the base of the rack against the side rail so it will guide the cue ball to the hanging ball in the corner. At the other corner, I place an object ball near the short rail, but out enough so I can see all of it.

I hit the cue ball with a jump-masse stroke at about 5 o'clock. Putting right english on the cue ball means I have to aim a little way up the short rail. Try to hit the object ball full or maybe clip the short rail first so the cue ball doesn't hit the long rail. The masse and right english will reel in the cue ball up the short rail for the other ball.

Tim's Tidbit

You can always try this without the rack first, if you can't get the jump.
