The trick is to aim between the glasses in the first column of them.

Direction:   starting direction, seven clicks up
Spin:        left low masse
Strength:    after the fourth notch so that the first pixel of the left side
            of the spinning coin is right on the fourth notch

It's very tricky to get the strength right. Set the direction and spin and then
try until you get it. Strength plays a major role in how the cue ball maneuvers
between and around the glasses.

Cue ball curves under the top two glasses in the first column, hits the top
cushion and pockets 1.

After you complete Final Trick Game you get an additional option to clear all
your data. This only clears the completion of tables, you can still access all
of the Trick Game collections.

Some shots were hard to figure out, and I haven't found any guides on the final
trick game anywhere on the internet. I completed all but one of the shots
myself, so these are original solutions (there MAY be more than one for a
shot, but very rarely).

Solution for Trick Game Special shot 16 I have got from Razor & Zenon video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Goi16SubQY

I checked all of the shots myself, but if you see any errors or have a word
of thanks feel free to email me at: vytenis.narusis [@] gmail.com
