Right! Congratulations semih!
Not sure how to score that one. Think I'll split it equally among Monique (for getting first and close-ish bid in), snookersfun (for getting closer and still quick bid in), semih_sayginer for getting first bid in on target, and Stella147 for correctly copying semih's answer (and being unlucky to be just pipped to the post).
PS Wasn't the only way - another (similar) could be (5x7+6)x(3x7+1).
Another?"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

Can I have a go??
953 : (6x3) x ((7x7)+4) -1
18 x 53 - 1 = 953"The five S’s of sports training are: Stamina, Speed, Strength, Skill and Spirit;

sites like this make these puzzles to easy to "bend"

haha! Good one!
I also found one about solving the battleships, but did not want to spoil the party, cause I am a sports!
But I am convinced all solutions here are done with the utmost honesty!

semih, thanks for pointing out that site - hadn't seen that and, yes, it would make cheating possible. So, I can post some with more than 6 balls (or are there other sites that allow that too?)..."If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."
