THE FREE HOUSE OF POOL CHALLENGE
Three shots.
Fifteen attempts.
What’s your score?
Turn your next practice session into a challenge with three of Max’s videos. Play on your own or take turns with a friend.
Here’s how it works
Watch each demo, copy the setup and take five attempts. Score one point for each successful attempt, then move on to the next shot. Use the scorecard below or print this page from your browser.
Make it repeatable. Keep the starting positions the same for your five attempts. If playing with a friend, both players use the same setup. Agree what counts before you start.
SHOT 01 / CONTROL
The stop shot
Start with cue-ball control. Pot the object ball and leave the white where it makes contact. Use Max’s video to see the action.
Your challenge: one point when the object ball drops and the cue ball finishes within one ball’s width of its position at contact.
That tolerance is our challenge rule, not an official pool rule. Watch on YouTube →
SHOT 02 / ANGLES
The bank shot
Often called a “double” in UK pool: send an object ball to the cushion and back into the intended pocket. Max shows a successful shot and a miss, so watch both.
Your challenge: one point when the object ball banks off the cushion into the intended pocket and the cue ball stays on the table.
SHOT 03 / THE FINISH
Middle and corner in one
Put one object ball at the middle pocket and another at the nearby corner, then use one stroke to pot both.
Your challenge: one point when both object balls drop in their intended pockets on one stroke and the white stays on the table.

Set your next target
Your first score is a starting point. Next time, aim for one more success. If one shot keeps missing, spend a few minutes on that setup before taking the full challenge again.
