Four-Ball Trick Shot

To impress your friends, learn how to do this trick shot, which sinks four balls on one stroke. Place four balls in a straight line extending from a left side pocket toward the right.

The first ball should be placed on the edge of the pocket and all four balls should be touching each other. Set up at the end of the table and place the cue ball about one foot away from the line of balls so that it is lined up between the second and third balls.

Hit the cue ball hard, aiming for the exact midpoint of the four balls, so that it strikes the second and third balls at the same time.

The balls on the ends of the line should shoot off into the side pockets. The second ball will go into the corner pocket on the far left, while the third ball will hit the rail on the opposite end and bank back into the corner pocket near you.
