How to do Trick Pool Shots

Transcripts

Andy Segal: Hi I am Andy Segal. Today we going to be doing some masse pool trick shots. The masse pool shots are where the cue ball curves and changes direction These are the most exciting shots. We are going to have a good time. Let's first talk about the material. What do you need to perform the trick shot? Well, you need a pool table, you need balls, chalk and a cue stick. Now for the most of the masse pool shots, we are going to be using a masse cue which is shorter and heavier than a regular cue. We will get into that later when we get to the individual shot. Let us also talk about a little about safety. When you are doing masse pool shot, it is easy for the ball to possibly jump off the table and hit something, so you want to make sure that there are no small children near the table or breakable items. if you do not want to anyone hurt or anything get broken.

Make sure that you have a nice clear area in which you are practicing. As you get better with the shot, the chances of that happening go down. Before we begin, I want to tell you a little bit about myself. In the trick shot world I am known as magic man. I have been on ESPN numerous times. I have performed in films, TV and commercials and I also own and operate and an amateur pool league called the American Poolplayers Association out at Hudson County, New Jersey. So you are ready to have some fun, let us get to those masse pool trick shots.
