"Thick Contact and Free Cueing"

| The double-baulk left as described above is a very valuable one. It is always playable when the cue-ball is in hand and the red lies too far from the centre of the table to offer a top pocket loser. Of course, you would not attempt it when the red was too near a side cushion. If you did, a kiss would spoil everything, as owing to the thick contact the cue ball must make with the red that ball would "catch" the cue-ball before it had time to get away. It is this thick contact which is the whole secret of these useful double-baulks. They are every time certainties if you will only cue thickly and confidently on the red at a pace which brings your own ball within the shelter of baulk. Free cueing is demanded, you will never get your ball "there and back" as far as you want it to travel if you "stab" your stroke ever so little. Let your cue go smoothly through your ball, play as I have directed, and you will soon add this effective double-baulk to the list of strokes you can depend upon. | |||
