Sky Hook

I freeze an object ball to the short rail, even with side pocket point. I freeze another object ball to it, hanging in the side pocket. A wall of object balls is about a half diamond away. (Figure 1)

The two frozen balls are pointing to the short rail point of the corner pocket as shown in the picture. This will allow for the throw. (Figure 2)

I place the cue ball so its edges are even with the point of the side pocket, as shown in the first picture. I aim for a half ball hit on the first object ball with a jump-masse at 6 or 6:30. Aiming too full will keep the cue ball from getting across the table or not bouncing far enough off the far rail. Aiming too thin won't let the masse take off the far rail.
