How to Make the "Impossible" Cut Shot

need slow mo

Just shoot the cue ball to your left side of the table off the bank and hit the 8 ball

This shot I made many times. My past time hobby was working in pool halls. From top short rail to bottom short rail, did it many times. Br the way I'm 77.

You need to clear some room up. Too cluttered to play

Thanks

Too much blabla

TAKE 232

step 1: play on a table where the pockets are as big as the grand canyon

this shot is over fifty years old. I learn this shot in the 60's.

Thanks sir ❤

Dupree’s Diamond Blues is an old Grateful Dead song check it out if you haven’t heard it - the song references jelly roll will drive you so mad - in pool jelly roll means lucky miss

☝️😉

I wish u would have left your misses in there also. U know everyone will miss this a lot but watching u miss would help more.

Great execution, great explanation.

Great instruction man. You explain very well

This shot looks hard ..it’s actually very easy…once you make it the first time..this is a shot you should know if you want to play competitive pool.. I just have to add the dude that’s making the shot has exceptionally good eyes he’s making the shot the hardest way it can be made for that I give him full props… but like in my post I go off the end rail and come back two banks/rails in the corner….peace

If this was actually in a competitive game whoever was shooting would go off the end rail and come back and it would be called two banks you would hit the rail a second time just before it hit the black.. also if you were smart you would hit the end rail with a tiny bit of inside English to straighten the ball out before it came down to contact second rail and then contact the black..

How many takes to get this? It would have looked more convincing if you hadn’t cut away prior to the shot.

Umm, then play a treble instead of the double. Americans don't seem to realise you can play that shot. Be a damn sight easier than trying this

I had a pool table growing up, and taught myself a lot of shots, including this one. But I never knew about the cue ball deflecting due to the off center strike. I guess I just adjusted for that. But now when I shoot on another table with unfamiliar cue sticks I know to test that to see how much the cue flexes. Many thanks for that great tip!!
Edit: Liked and subbed. 😀

It's a kick I have been doing it since 78

Please the name of cue is it caron fiber ?

Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? 11 Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God (The Great I AM, YHVH, El Shaddai, Adonai, God of Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham). John 3:10-18

You can shoot that 8-ball cross corner....duh!

......You just taught me a new shot, very cool...A perfected back slap would be cool as well..... ...Old Naples Florida🌴🎱

......I always enjoyed making the 8 on the break, it took much practice ...set Cue ball just off the right rail ( 2 inches off rail), hit the 3rd ball in hard with bottom left English, the 8 ball will bank off the left rail & in the right-side pocket... much easier to attain with a custom stick...🌴🎱

Talk to much

3 rails in the same side is an easier shot.

It took a while to get to the point, but it's a good idea.

Make it once in a while. Leave a shot for the next guy most of the time. Not smart.

Great info.

Crazy how your cue turns into your arm.

After that great explanation I really really wanted you to miss it just for the comedy value. But no, seriously that was very cool, thanks

what the heck i don't get it.waste of time

Yea but for people learning it’s good info

1 rail cue ball up and back

Or you can just go up to the Bar and buy a beer instead….

Excellent demonstration!

Shoot that ball at about 25% of that speed and you will make it more often. The spin takes so much better at a low speed. Try it and then reply if you want.

It's a kick

in theory it's not too hard but I can't imagine how many cuts this guy made 😂

I probably would have gone long end one rail with the cue ball.

First try

Two tips inside spin and hit the cushion first.

its a good shot to know, but its not easy, whatsoever to pull off for newer players.

Thanks Dude!👍

I made this shot about 5 years ago in a tournament at the local bar. My shot was harder as it was the length of the table, not the width, and the Q-ball was nearly frozen against the cushion. I consider it one of the top 5 I ever made. I was 75 at the time, been shooting pool since 14.

Or do a long bank

Efren would bank off the opposite end of the table, back down to the 8, or how bout banking the 8 off the side you are on, back to the corner on our side?

That would be IMPOSSIBLE on a Snooker table; American Pool tables are designed in such a way that potting impossible balls is piss-easy even for a novice; the ULTIMATE challenge for any American Pool player would be to play Pool on a 9’ft Snooker table, you guys wouldn’t even pot a single ball 🤣.
