Bumper Cars Trick Shot

Anthony Riniti on Monday, March 31st, 2014 Comments Off on Bumper Cars Trick Shot

Welcome back to Chef Anton’s Magical Menu of Pool Ball Wizardry.  Thank you for all of your positive comments concerning last month’s delicacy & for your entries into my contest.  This next shot is called Bumper Cars.

 

06 - June - Bumper Cars5

 

The set up is quick and simple.  Position the cuestick, balls, and triangles as diagrammed.  Be sure the one ball is frozen to the rail and the other balls are touching the triangles.  Place the cue ball slightly to the right of the one ball.

 

The secret is to strike the cue ball with high english, aiming to hit the left side of the one ball.  The one ball will travel along the cue stick and into the corner pocket.  The cue ball will then propel backwards into the first triangle sending the two ball in the side pocket.  Now for the beauty of this shot, once the cue ball hits the triangle, the top english will takeover causing the cue ball to dive forward one more time pocketing the three ball in the opposite side.  Wow!!  If you don’t know the secret of using high english, this shot is impossible.

 

This shot can be used as a great “betcha” with a friend or as a perfect complement to any trick shot exhibition.

 

Good luck and Bon Appetit.

SEND A BETCHA OR AN ORIGINAL TRICK SHOT AND WIN A FREE VIDEO

 

I need your help.  I am in search of learning every “betcha” in existence.  For example, the oldest pool betcha known to man is where the three ball are balanced on the end rail in a pyramid configuration, and you bet your mark you can hit the other two balls first.  This is exactly what I am interested in finding.

 

So if you know any “grifts”, even if they do not apply to pool, send it to me immediately.  I will give an autographed video for every “betcha” sent to me that I have not seen before.  If you are not sure if I have seen it or not, send it anyway.  Please e-mail me at chefanton@chefanton.com or mail your entries to:
