Answer 6

Thanks for waiting guys.

A masse shot can almost be thought of as a vertical draw shot. You hold your cue perpendicular (or close to it) to the table and hit down on the cue ball near the miscue circle, usually with great force. You can actually get a decent masse with a quick jab and without hitting your tip into the cloth.

Always chalk up and make sure you have the room owners permission before practicing. Watch some videos and take note of the angle I'm holding the cue stick at. If you need more details, email me.
