| Suppose, however, that you wanted forty or fifty for game while the other man needed but a point or two. Then, to do any good, you must force a break, which is anything but an inviting prospect from a double-baulk. It is even less inviting than usual when such a double-baulk as the specimen shown in my diagram has to be mastered. The best stroke you can try for is the cannon played in the manner illustrated. Spot your ball at the end of the baulk-line, use plenty of running side to help your ball round the table, and strike the first cushion at the point indicated in my diagram. Then, with luck, you will make the cannon, and, with more luck, leave a break-building position. It is futile to ignore the element of luck which enters into the making of cannons off double-baulks. The champion himself could not be anything like sure of making the cannon we have just dealt with. I want you to bear this in mind, and also to remember that, according to the state of the game, three distinct shots are called for when handling this double-baulk position. | |||
