There is a dead ball shot in this mass of balls somewhere, and it’s your job to find it.

Good luck, and let me know what you think.

Did you find the throw shot to make the 11 Ball in the lower left corner? Did you know that if you hit the 4 Ball you would miss, but if you hit the 8 it’s an easy shot? To be successful with this shot you have to use medium speed or less, because throw is diminished with a hard hit.

Were you thinking about that 2 ball in the far side? It’s a makable shot, but not if you hit the 9 directly, because at this distance from the pocket it doesn’t take much throw at all to push the 2 off line. You could kick at the 9 Ball, but you have to hit the right spot, making it much too tough to be the answer to this puzzle!

    Shoot medium slow-straight at 8ball, 7 should pull 11ball low enough to pocket in corner. Or not.
