English: An extreme massé shot by William A. Spinks during an 1893 exhibition game against Jacob Shaefer Sr. Starting from bottom left, his cue ball swerves into and caroms off one object ball, then due to its extreme spin rebounds into the cushionfour times before finally rolling away for a perfect, scoring hit on the other ball. And Spinks actually lost this game. Note: This is a derivative work; only the caption was available in large size, so I took the image and massaged the caption into it.
