!https://photos.app.goo.gl/L2de5ev2UsPgoq8Y8 This is a Knoxville Bear Bank as explained by Steve Booth, except I set it up harder by having both balls frozen to the rail. Ob frozen to 2nd diamond - cb frozen to rail just behind the line. Easier on a table that naturally accepts reverse, mine does not. It took 300 attempts to catch it on film, and the only way I was able to catch it was to do 20 attempts a day, otherwise it is to frustrating and you loose it. But I wanted to bring it to you!

Hope you guys have good luck with these shots if you try them, and let us know how it goes! Video replications of course are welcomed!
Enjoy! Whitey

I will be trying these. Thanks for sharing.
Playing in a 8 ball trnmnt I put a lockdown safety on a guy who almost pulled off a more impressive masse kick then your shot. Guy had to go down table about 18"s before coming back and kicking off opposite side rail. Greatest masse attempt I have ever witnessed. Semi has better ones but I have only seen video.

unopero, what you are depicting is a force following draw masse', which is not normally an atypical masse' for OP. So yes, that was a special shot you witnessed.
I believe I did a masse' shot similar to this for OP.org, I will see if I can find it. It is actually a champion caliper trick shot that we have witness on tv when the old school trick shots championship was being televised. But, you shoot into a ball pocketing it in the upper corner and then the cb follows forward and curves around the spotted triangle rack (stack), and then comes back and makes a ball in the corner foot pocket.

The other more common masse' is to shoot from like the center diamond foot rail to 2nd diamond side rail and then have the cb masse' back and make the ball in the opposite side foot corner pocket. I use to do this shot a number of years ago but never video it. I'll put up a video in my next post that is from a wwyd that is very similar.

thanks for the comment, it brought back some memories of some masse's that I had not thought about for quite awhile!

Whitey thanks for the reply.
To be clear I hooked the guy in the side pocket on the point. There were balls blocking kicking off the opposite long rail . He massed the ball almost to the headspot before it turned and went off the opposite long rail , past the opposite point it was at , and then down to the foot rail. He barely missed a good hit on his object ball.

So his cueball went ahead 18" and came back 5' while widening out 3 1/2'.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/uNU2Fy76ayAarXaU9 this is my shot selection from a Ghost wwyd, your hole is the left corning pocket.

unopero, this is the shot that is similar to the old school trick masse' shot. The difference is the object ball would be in the right corner foot pocket. Therefore you would have to hit further up the side rail because it is going to curve more coming back to the corner pocket. This is a common OP masse' shot.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/g1Vu2KKrQzkzYJw27 this is from a OP scenario I set up.

The shot selection shows what is possible and at times are not the best or most logical shot selection!
enjoy, Whitey

Fantastic stuff, Whitey. Thanks -

This shot is a tribute to John Henderson! It is from a wwyd, and I am sure glad I located it! John was the first to choose this shot selection. Although appearing simplistic you have to respect the learned knowledge of how to correctly play this shot. There are those members that you just know they are lifetime players for when they choose their shot selection they not only know where the intended object ball is going but also where subsequently contacted balls and the cue ball are going, and will end up. John is of course one of those members.

Highly advance OP players can read when going into balls where each ball is going and where they will end up. For me this represents the highest standard a OP player can obtain, and of course John was there!
