The possibilities of the game of billiards
are so infinite that to deal with them at all
exhaustively is more than I could achieve if you came to me for lessons every day of your
life. The most I can do is to show you
certain shots and leave you to use your own
judgment when others of a similar kind, but
not exactly the same, occur during actual
play. Figure 25 illustrates this teaching
method. It shows the red on the spot with
the cue-ball tight against the top cushion
and so far from the pocket opening that the
half-ball loser into the facing top pocket is nowhere near playable. To make
this loser you must
raise the butt of
your cue, hit your
ball high and with
as much right-hand
side as you can
put on it. Aim to
strike the red "full
in the face," when
your ball will
swerve in the
manner shown in
my diagram, hit
the red half-ball,
and enter the
pocket accordingly.
By playing in this
manner you can score the pocket at such well-judged strength
that the red is left in good position near
the middle pocket. This is a very useful
stroke, and most instructive apart from its
immediate purpose.
