Pool player hits ‘shot of the century’ to leave fans stunned as they say ‘there’s a reason we call him Houdini’
A POOL player has left fans stunned after hitting the “shot of the century”.
Carl Morris, who is nicknamed Houdini, pulled off an incredible trick shot in a recent Ultimate Pool tournament.
With two balls blocking the cue ball from having a clear shot at the last remaining red, Morris was left with mission impossible as he could not even use the cushions to his advantage.
So instead he spun the cue ball with an incredibly difficult shot that saw the cue ball spin backwards to hit the red.
And not only did it made contact, it potted the ball and set up a shot on the black.
The extraordinary shot, which Morris described as “one in 10,000 or one in 100,000”, took commentators by surprise.
One commentator reacted saying: “Oh my god! What a shot. That is mental!”
His co-commentator added: “That is one of the greatest shots we have seen at Ultimate Pool. That is outrageous. Absolutely outrageous.”
One fan reacted to the shot saying: “Absolutely awesome shot. Truly a one off moment. Wow. ”
Another added: “That is unbelievable.”

And a third said: “There’s a reason we call him Houdini ”
Former world champion Morris has recently returned to the sport after ten years away, and he revealed he believed he had accomplished everything there is to do in pool until the shot.
He said: “I think pool was a lifesaver for me because it was a sport where I didn’t need to communicate.
“I mean, I’ve done some spectacular shots in the about three decades that I’ve been playing, but I don’t think I’ve quite done anything like that.”
