Tom "Dr. Cue" Rossman Trick Shot
 CUE BALL — AWAY!
DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY: 1.1
CONFIDENCE FACTOR:
2 minutes, 12 seconds per day for 3 days
SETUP/POSITION: Place 1-ball and 2-ball 2 inches apart and each ball
1/8-inch away from head cushion. Center near name plate or middle diamond
of rail the entire setup. Cue ball over edge of two balls from above
and head (eye) over cue ball aiming downward at ball edges. Body should
be rock solid stance and head motionless, with hold on (c). DOUBLE CHECK
SETUP!
BALLS(S) POCKETED/OBJECTIVE: With the thumb on one side of the cue ball
and the index on the other, hold the cue ball over the two object balls
below... 6-8 inches from cue ball. Sighting with eye over cue ball to
balls below, drop cue ball and make (1) in TL and (2) in BL.
ADJUSTMENT ANALYSIS: A
perfect drop is required in being successful on this challenge. If
object balls hit cushion and bounce out missing
pockets, move sighting and cue ball back slightly toward your body. If
object balls hit side cushions #1 and #3 without hitting head cushion
and therefore missing again, move head and sighting with cue ball out
away from your body more. If one ball moves more quickly than the other
or one moves and the other doesn’t, adjust right or left of the
aim view from above. Try not to throw cue ball downward—just let
go and drop cue ball. This a great little challenge for all. ENJOY!
Cue ball is held 6-8 inches over pool balls. |
