Here's an example that I demonstrate to pool players of how to WIN the game from this position!

See if you can guess the shot I demonstrate!

Have fun with it!

PLEASE REFER TO TODAYS PHOTOS AND VIDEO FOR THE CORRECT POSITION OF THE BALLS, AND OF ME MAKING THE SHOT! SEE POST #17

EVERYONE, AGAIN! THIS IS A 'PROP' BET ACTION SHOT! YOU CAN REALLY MAKE MONEY ON THIS SHOT, I HAVE MANY, MANY TIMES!

Bank 12 into the 1 and draw the CB to hide it under that cluster. Play more CB than object ball. Or, if you go by a strict reading of squeeze rules, two-rail kick the 1ball in, maybe even going three rails by hitting behind to make sure you don't leave a bank if you miss the 1 ball.

I like the bank because the kick has you cueing the ball awkwardly.

You forgot! You have to WIN, the game in ONE shot!
Besides the 12 can't be banked, my diagram may be off a touch! I'll be back later, and tweak the diagram!

I'd ask the guy if he wanted out if I get the time, and win on 0 shots. I usually pay the time when I win anyway.

Half a ball hit off the right side of the 12, left hand English. Go off the 12, off the bottom rail, off the side rail and Bingo. Why do you feel you need to win it on this shot? Don't you want to torture him a little?

Bank the 12 and hold the cue. 12 off the 10 to pocket the 1.

I'm playing the 12 off the 13, draw QB to freeze on the 15 if the 12 doesn't pocket the carom doesn't work

Oops, Tom beat me to it

This is *NOT* how I would play it. But since the original post is a proposition shot from a three-cushion player, here's my guess. I think you have to pound it as hard as you can without flying the cueball and use a fair bit of left.

According to the way you've drawn your answer, doesn't work for ANY "plus 2 system." :sorry

So, Here's the original diagram in Post #1.

View attachment 10694

And Here's a diagram providing a solution to the problem! Again, PLEASE excuse my poor excuse for a curve on the CB!

View attachment 10695

And finally, here's photos of the position of balls on the table, and a video of me making the shot from the diagram in post #1!

Cool shot, Bill. They'll never see that one coming!

Looks to me you could also hit the left side of the 12 with extreme draw and curve the cue ball for the win.

Would have to try it to see.
