Massé strokes (elegant strokes that make the cue ball curve drastically without impact on another ball or table rail) are reputed to be phenomenally difficult. Really, they are very easy if you know the main secret...

I am aligned holding the stick at a nearly vertical, perpendicular position to the table above the ball. Facing down, I will strike the cue ball just to the right of center. The ball will propel forward then make an extreme right hand turn.
