The Basics: Trick shot subcategories – Stroke, Jump and Masse

This article is the final part of the trick shot subcategory discussion. The player’s technique and control are the keys in the Stroke trick shot. The set-up for this kind of shot is indeed challenging and one must be very careful with his moves because the cue ball is really in close contact with the target ball. In ESPN’s Trick Shot Magic, a Stroke trick shot known as the Hundred Dollar Bill shot was used to break a tie.

To impress you more, the Jump trick shot shows some interesting moves like jumping on obstacles then getting the target ball. The One Handed Jump surprised lots of audience once executed. Last but the not the least is the Masse trick shot that is considered to be the most complex of all. It would require difficult spins that follows unusual paths. The Rocket Masse makes some unbelievable moves for this one.
