By Chef Anton

This month's shot is featured in The Pool Hustler's Handbook.
Proposition: Shooting from within the kitchen, make the 8-ball in Pocket X using a legal pool shot.
Difficulty Rating: 3
Origin: Nobody showed me this shot. I "created" it myself when my opponent put me in a similar compromising situation. Although I take no credit for its originality because I am sure someone else "created" it before me.
Set-Up:
Place the 8-ball in front of Pocket X. Lay the 1-7 balls on the table as diagrammed.
