How to Make Trick Pool Shots

Hi! I'm Micheal Lamendola with expertvillage.com, and today we're going to shoot some pool. No pool player can really play pool without knowing at least of trick shots. I know about a couple, so I'm going to share them with you. They work most of the time and they're a good fundamental teacher as well. In this case, I got the 5 ball and the 6 ball, and I want to make them both in one shot. What I do is when I adjust the cue ball, I'm going to strike using high left English. Remember that's going to be up and then to the left. By striking through the ball and making the 5 as I normally would, I'm going to run the cue ball down towards the 6 and hopefully make it. Trick shot number one. This next shot is pretty impressive but it's also pretty easy. Now, I've marked we where we have to aim. You see I got the cue ball here. I want to make the one ball there, but I'm going to do it by hitting 3 banks. Where I want you to aim is right there. Now, there is a dot underneath that chalk. It gives you an idea of where I'm aiming for and it gives me an idea of where I'm aiming for. I'm going to address the ball with high left English and aim for that chalk. Not bad.
