Impossible pot

[SquaredCue]

Well, not impossible but it takes a strange approach. The path of the red is blocked by the black ball, yet one can pot the red into that pocket by double or multiple touches by the white. With the speed and spin shown, the pack of reds is split and a winning break is on started with pink as the first colour.

Another "impossible" pot into the top left corner: the red is on the cushion, the white is at the middle pocket. The potting angle is greater than 90 degrees, yet one can pot the red into the corner pocket. Line up the shot so that the aiming just misses the red ball, the white will hit the cushion first and the side spin will throw the white ball towards the red, which will pot easily.

This kind of shot can come in handy in real games, too. If the red is a little off the cushion, a small adjustment is needed in the aiming.

angle > 90° and it is pottable!
