    The document summarizes an unusual three-cushion billiards shot played by Christ van der Smissen against Junichi Komori in a tournament in Oosterhout. Van der Smissen had a difficult shot where rail first was possible but not easy or safe. Instead, he played rail first with heavy left English and made contact as diagrammed, scoring a point. Though an unusual shot, a miss would have left the balls relatively safe. Komori still won the close match 20-19.

    INSTRUCTION FROM THE PROS with Robert Byrne

    Try This Unusual Shot

    Cees Sprangers of The Netherlands, an


    editor for World Report 3 Cushion and a tireless
    compiler of three-cushion facts and figures,
    sent me the diagrammed shot in October of
    1985. It has never been published. At a
    tournament in Oosterhout (where today the
    last event of the BWA season is usually held),
    Christ van der Smissen was faced with a
    difficult position against Junichi Komori.
    Rail first off the red ball was possible, but
    wasn’t easy and wasn’t safe. Drawing back
    off the white to send the cueball along the
    dashed line was impossible because of an
    immediate kiss. Van der Smissen instead
    played rail first with heavy left English and
    scored as shown. A miss would have left the
    balls relatively safe. After the game, Komori,
    several times champion of Japan, said that
    he had never seen the shot before. Komori
    won the match anyway, 20-19 in ten innings.
