Easy 1-Shot Challenge

Easy 1

Objective: Sink the red ball into the corner pocket.

Strategy: Aim the cue ball at the top wall to bank it off and hit the red ball into the pocket. Use moderate power to avoid excessive rebound.

Easy 2

Objective: Sink the red ball into the side pocket, avoiding an 8-ball directly in front of it.

Strategy: Slightly adjust the cue ball aim to the right and gently tap the side of the red ball. This avoids hitting the adjacent 8-ball and prevents the cue ball from ricocheting into other 8-balls.

Easy 3

Objective: Sink the red ball into the side pocket, which is enclosed by wooden blocks.

Strategy: Use the ramp on the side. Aim the cue ball at the center/upper part of the ramp with maximum force. The cue ball should jump over the blocks, hit the red ball, and ideally stay on the table. This challenge may involve some trial and error due to potential randomness.

Normal 1-Shot Challenge

Normal 1

Objective: Sink the red ball into the corner pocket, with a row of 8-balls blocking direct access.

Strategy: Shoot the cue ball down the length of the table, bank it off the far wall, and then back towards the red ball. Use moderate power to prevent the cue ball from touching any 8-balls after the bank.

Normal 2

Objective: Sink the red ball into the side pocket, navigating two sets of wooden barriers.

Strategy: Perform a double bank shot: first off the southern wall, then the northern wall. The in-game guide only shows the trajectory after the first bank, so some trial and error is needed to get the angle right for the second bank. Be careful with shot power to avoid hitting the 8-balls past the pocket.
