Chef Anton's Trick Shots

Welcome back to Chef Anton's Magical Menu of Pool Ball Wizardry. Be sure and check out the Internet's most outrageous web site at www.chefanton.com. If you E-Mail me at chefantons@aol.com you will receive a free autographed copy of my new promotional picture. What a bargain!!!

This month's trick shot is entitled Bumper Cars. It reminds me of my first experience driving a bumper car. I am the cue ball who is smashing into everything in sight. It is a fun shot with a lot of comedic possibilities.

Set the balls up as diagrammed. Make sure the one ball is frozen to the rail. You will actually pocket all three balls in one shot. Hit the cue ball with high english and aim for the left half of the one ball. Properly struck, the one ball will go down the cue stick and into the corner. The cue ball will bounce off the one and strike the triangle pocketing the two ball in the side pocket. The high english will then take over, causing the cue ball to dramatically dive forward; thus, pocketing the three ball in the other side. This is a great shot. The action of the cue ball can be applied to many other trick shots and games of pool. Be creative and see what great shot you can create.

SEND A BETCHA OR AN ORIGINAL TRICK SHOT AND WIN A FREE VIDEO

I need your help. I am in search of learning every "betcha" in existence. For example, the oldest pool betcha known to man is where the three ball are balanced on the end rail in a pyramid configuration, and you bet your mark you can hit the other two balls first. This is exactly what I am interested in finding.

So if you know any "grifts", even if they do not apply to pool, send it to me immediately. I will give an autographed video for every "betcha" sent to me that I have not seen before. If you are not sure if I have seen it or not, send it anyway. Please e-mail me at chefantons@aol.com or mail your entries to:

Thanks and Bon Appetit!!!
