Didn’t realize it was possible. I’ve played it here and there on my system, and no matter how low I cue, no jumpshot. ---

holding the controller at an angle facing down perhaps? Remember, an actual jump shot is not lifted from the bottom of the ball. A real jump shot is created by down pressure into the table at an angle forcing the ball to rebound into the air. So, perhaps you have to aim above the center, and shoot down towards the table? i dont have a wii… just giving my billiards insight ---

When you are lined up for a shot, you have to press up on the d-pad of the wii remote (do this before you place your crosshairs on the ball). This adjusts your view so that you are looking down on the ball. The more you press up the more vertical the view gets (which allows you to jump higher, but not longer). It easy, hope this helps. ---
