Depends on the table speed, dirt and humidity. I first make SURE whitey lands on the head rail and this determines if I will call the, two rails cross side, or three. Nine ball players come across this shot Allot when on the wrong side.

As I describe magnificently(sic) in my book and DVDs, you can make this shot 2 or 3 times just as easily. Trick is to cut about a 1/2 ball and hit it very hard if you want to make it 2 times. If you want to make it 3 times, cut it just a bit more and take some speed off -- dont hit it as hard as you did for the twice.

Oh yeah, dead center ball, dead level cue.

dennis surely you are joking:D:confused:
if not pm me ill explain it to you:D
ive been on the wrong side :eek:
so i had to learn that shot and others to finish the run out:)

Larry; The 3 or 2 times across side is a basic bank shot in Chi-Town, all the lads on the South-Side cut their teeth on these type of shots!

Well, Shuff actually had to call a pocket so he called it 3 rails and made it:eek:. He hit it with inside and extreme draw that bent the cueballs path to the footrail:sorry.

bank shot

bank shot

I bank this ball 3 times across the side.

I also bank this ball across the corner.

Depends on the angle.
