This was very frustrating. See if you can guess why.

Okay, I'll tell you.

I busted that cluster up and it still left me nothing, then when I managed to bank the one cross-side I came up several feet short of having a good shot.

Then the fucking last ball jumped when it hit the rail and I missed running nine by like two inches.

It kills me that I haven't banked nine in a row and caught it on camera for years. I really need to work on this.

Every shot in this run went exactly how I'd wanted it to go - except for when I missed the stupid bank on the nine.

Six banks in a row used to be a big deal for me. I don't like this clip because I never got the shape I wanted and it seemed like I was always trying to recover.

I do this drill all the time, usually with at least five balls.

I've been meaning to tape a new version, but it's a pain to set my camera up for this.

I love this shot. It's not the toughest bank there is, but it just seems unreal to me. It's like 20feet of ball travel to go into a 4.5 inch pocket.

While trying to get these shots tapes I made the four-rail version twice. I can't make it on purpose though.

I had this idea once to have clips of all sorts of common banks that come up in games. This was one such clip.

I have a tough time banking anything soft. So I work on shots like this a lot.

Truman Hogue is the master of this shot, but his version goes in at 100 miles per hour.

Grady Mathews taught me this shot. I'd never had thought of it on my own, that's for sure.

I'd love to have the stones to pull this off in a real game.

It was a one-pocket player that did this to me. Those damn one-pocket players are so sneaky.

I had a feeling from the very beginning that the ball on the rail would be my downfall. I was right. I didn't miss the three-railer by much though.

Yes, I did indeed play that one ball twice cross-side.
