This unusual shot came up in the quiz recently. Chengdu was asking about it.

Here's a brilliant example of it by Ronnie. The timestamp shows the shot leading up to it, a battle on the pink in a thrilling match between the Wizard and the Rocket in 2009. The shot Ronnie plays before the cocked hat is something I think Trump invented, or at least popularised, but here's Ronnie playing an intended double kiss / ricochet safety in 2009. The whole video is worth a watch.

I've known about the cocked-hat since my early days playing snooker, mastered it recently and won matches using it in Spanish rules 8 ball.

Should be called the cocked-hat triple really shouldn't it??

You’re suggesting Judd invented/popularised the double-kiss safety?

Well, I've seen him play it the most.

A topical bump!! What a shot Ronnie
