Grand rotation

The cue ball clips the 1st ball and makes a big lap of the table, short → long → short → long cushion, to the 2nd ball.

Path: 1st ball → short → long → short → long cushion → 2nd ball

Scores in both three-cushion (yellow is the 2nd ball) and four-ball.

1. Hit the 1st ball very thin, at 1/8 ball, so the cue ball carries nearly all its speed into the short cushion.
2. Add running spin (3 tips right) to lengthen the angle at all four cushions so the ball circles wide. Hit hard, around power 7.
3. Coming up even a little short at one cushion throws it well off by the end, so line up the first cushion point carefully with the magnifier.

Suggested: 3 tips right · power 7 · Right 1/8 ball
