If you want to try it out make sure the yellow green and brown are off the line and pot the cue ball. The place the cue ball on the line where the colours where. When you have placed it, smash the cue ball directly upwards. To do this easily, when you have placed the cue ball on the line move it upwards slowly without moving it the sides until you can hit it. Then you should see the cue ball either get slowed down very fast or move onto the cushion.

I have just found out it works on funky pool aswell!

Yeah nice one, it worked with me. Well found.

wow thats amazing

lol thats so cooool!!

lol hopefully nick will have a look at this thread and sort it.. nicely found!

Wow I like it !

Nice spot

Out of interest...How did you find it out? Having all the Yellow, Green and Brown off their line and the white on it, shooting directly up. Is it just coinsidence or were you trying to find something? lol

I'm lfc4eva's sorta step bro and he told me that he was just smashing the cue ball about one day and it just seemed to be they were off their line. We have tried with them being in their original place and it still works

im confused?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!

i cant do it

Great one! It even works on original

You don't need to have yellow, green and brown off the line, all you need is a free vertical path for the cue ball. So if you put the cue ball on the right of the half-circle, you can still hit it upwards and it will work. Theorically it could even work from anywhere on the table, but it's difficult to hit exactly vertically if you don't place the cue ball by hand.

Well i cleared all of the balls so then i was just placing the ball down and smashing it as fast as i could and did it directly up on the line and then that happened. BTW you dont need the cue ball on the line you just need a path with no balls or pockets in the way going up, like some people have said already.
