Johnny Archer and Earl Strickland came by my place for a couple of hours on July 15, 2008, and we hit some balls around for a while. Toward the end of the evening I asked them both to show me their favorite shot... not a trick shot, or "artistic" shot, but a shot they might get in a game, that for most anyone else it would be a real challenge, but for them, they just love to see it. This is Johnny's favorite shot, and it's a lot tougher than it looks. He hits the rail first, with lots of inside english and spins the object ball into the pocket. Notice that the object ball is slightly off the foot rail, making the shot harder than if it was frozen to the rail. The nice thing about this shot is that if he misses the shot by hitting it too thin, the object ball will hit the side rail and come back for no shot, with the cue ball up-table.
