Trick Shot of the Month: Through the Window
July Pool Trick Shot

This is the shot that caught my attention. I always enjoy shooting this in my shows. It is a crowd pleaser if you can master it. Good luck!

Cue Ball Placement
In hand, anywhere behind line ?X?.

Object Ball Placement
?B? ball is 2 ball?s width out from cushion # 1, with right edge of ball in a straight line to left point of pocket ?B?. ?E? ball frozen to ?B? ball and also 2 ball?s width from cushion # 1. ?A? ball frozen to ?E? ball. Entire ?A?-?E?-?B? ball setup may be shifted along rail, as long as ?E? and ?B? balls remain 2 balls width from cushion # 1. ?C? ball between pocket points of ?C? pocket. Row of blocking balls with 2 balls space lined up one diamond away from pocket ?B?.

Objective
Shoot cue ball to ?E? ball, carom to ?B? ball, and then travel with a timed curve through ?Gap? in row of blocking balls, and on to pocket ?C? ball. Make all 4 object balls as pocket letter designates.

Special Notes
Cue ball may contact extra cushion by ?C? ball. Scratch is allowed (no penalty). Balls on either side of ?Gap? may not be touched as cue ball curves through (penalty ? no score on that attempt). After cue ball pockets ?C? ball, it may come back and hit the row of blocking balls with no penalty.

Helpful Hints:
(1)Aim between B and E balls with top left spin
(2) Very loose grip
(3) Place cue ball as shown in above picture
