Degree of Difficulty: 8
Cue Ball Placement: In hand, with A ball (At Left), as diagram suggests.
Object Ball Placements:

A ball (At Left) is approximately 1/8” from cue ball
A ball (at right) is 2 ball’s width away from slate cut of pocket A and ½” off cushion #1.

Objective:

Shoot cue ball with vertical masse into A ball (At Left) and toward cushion #1 to right of A ball (At Right). Cue ball contacts cushion #1, and then comes back toward A ball (At Right). A ball (At Left) makes at pocket A first then A ball (At Right) makes in same pocket.

Special Notes:

Cue ball does not have to contact cushion above A Ball at right. In other words, cue ball may make right A ball directly. Scratch is allowed (No Penalty). Extra cushion #1 contacts are allowed before contact with A ball (at right). This shot can be done from any corner of the table, but it may not be rotated. In other words, A ball must be positioned along either cushion # 1, 2, 3, or 4. It may not be positioned along the head or foot cushion.
