Things You'll Need:
- Billiards table
- Cue stick
- Four billiard balls
- Triangle (rack)
-
Step 1
Select a pool trick shot like the Joplin's Dream Shot.
-
Step 2
Drop 4 balls on the table. The 1 and 2 ball need to be a ball width from the cushion.
-
Step 3
Direct the 2 ball so that it lines up with the point of the side pocket.
-
Step 4
Take the 2 and 3 balls and align their centers to the short rail just outside the corner pocket.
-
Step 5
Check to see if the 3 and 4 balls have their centers aligned to the short rail point of the corner pocket. Relax, since there is leeway with the placement of all four balls.
-
Step 6
Push the cue ball toward the centerline of the table about a half a diamond away from the side pocket.
-
Step 7
Strike the cue ball so that it rolls straight into the 3 ball.
