Thanks to all who have replied.
Yes Robert, I was looking for a physically playable stroke. My apologies if my second post gave the impression that I was only looking for a "theoretical possible" "legal" stroke but what I had in mind was mainly to exclude the cue ball from being included in the count.
Certainly Statman's suggested setup looks promising for achieving 6 (or even up to 12 with addition of a ball over each pocket.)
I would still be interested to read any reports of what anybody has actually managed to achieve in practice.
As far as the technique of having a series of object balls in a line pointing directly at a pcoket is concerned, if the balls are touching, will not only the last ball move away from the group? Or will heavy top spin on the cue ball encourage the second ball to move also? Would it help to leave a small gap between the balls in the line? Has anybody managed to pot even 2 or 3 balls using this technique I wonder?
