D.P.M. Fancy Shots Part 2


Here is the second series of Darrell Paul
Martineau’s Fancy Shots. Two others first
appeared in the September/October 2000
issue of Carom News along with some useful
guides from his book DPM Universal Systems/
Secrets of Three Cushion Billiards. You may
want to refer to the last issue for an under-
standing of the explinations.

I first created these fancy shots back in


the late fifties early sixties. I am sure they
were well known long before I (found) them.
I was young and they were fun.
Creativity is one of the great aspects of
three cushion billiards. These shots have a
greater value. They can lead you to explora-
tion. Play them exactly as the graphs show
then expand from the “written word” and be
creative!!!
