The 8-ball and 9-ball will both pocket on this show stopping shot. It's accomplished simply, with a small amount of draw.

The aim line is simply determined. Cross the lines between the centers of the cue ball and the object balls. Striking the 8-ball between the lines will send the cue with draw straight into the 9-ball at the spot "H".

It so happens the spot on the 8-ball to sink the nine will also pocket the eight in the far corner. With a little practice, you will be able to set the cue ball and object balls to pocket nearly any two shots you like! Enjoy...
