Make This Shot
Place the stacking ball on the 1x1 diamond intersection from the corner pocket and put the cue ball on top of it. Setup, done!
Hit the stacking ball out from under the cue ball. Find the right speed; too slow and the cue ball will roll off too, too fast and you won't have time to line the cue ball up. I like to aim 1/2 diamond from the side pocket. Then use a 1/2 ball aim and fire the cue ball when the stacking ball is about 1 ball width from the rail. The cheater way to do this shot is to just shoot the stacking ball to a natural angle bank.

Tim's Tidbit
This is an old classic from the Trick Shot Magic playbook, although I don't think it ever made it on TV.
