World famous player Gus Copulous, playing out of Broadway Billiards in Philadelphia, is generally acknowledged to be the originator of this beautiful shot which is a Kiss Shot around the table with cue ball and first object ball moving before the kiss. The Diagram shows how the ball are set up with the yellow being driven into the corner and the cue ball caroms into yellow ball’s path and is sent around the table to score. Sometimes the yellow ball itself will carom off of the cue ball at the time of the kiss and go to the corner and move the red ball around a little bit so you get the three balls moving at the same time. Fantastic! Give it a try, you’ll love it!
