About The Shot

Here's a variation of the Rainbow Masse. I freeze another object ball to the cue ball pocketing it across the table into the corner pocket. The cue ball makes an awesome arc around the row of balls to pocket the hanger in the corner pocket.

Make This Shot

I set the cue ball one balls width from the short cushion with its back edge in line with the point of the corner pocket. I freeze the first object ball to it, lined up to the short rail point of the opposite corner pocket. The arc of blocking balls peaks at the center of the table at 1 1/2 diamonds out from the long rail. And hang the last object ball.

I aim at the second long rail diamond across the table from the cue ball, hitting at 4 o'clock with 80-85 degrees of elevation. Hit it hard so you get enough spin to bring the cue ball over the rainbow.
