Ball Control

IT is an old saying in billiard circles, and a very true one, that to be anything of an adept at the game a man must know-"the angles of the table." With all due respect to the mathematical experts, I do not think it is much use studying these angles on the blackboard. The factors are too variable for strict scientific demonstration, and the only way to study the angles of billiards to any playing purpose is to do so, cue in hand, at the table. Very well, Fig. 56 shows an elementary exercise you can work upon with profit. You begin by placing the cue-ball in line with the centre of the opening of the right-hand baulk pocket stroke (1), in Fig. 56. Play this as shown to make your ball return from the top cushion into the other baulk-pocket. To do this, you must not impart the least side to your ball. You aim to hit the dead centre of the top cushion at moderate pace, and unless you have a natural gift for gauging angles, you may be surprised at the practice you will need before you can be at all sure about your ball finding the pocket. Stroke (2) is easier. You play this from the line of the right-hand middle pocket, directing your ball, with no side on it, against the centre of the facing side cushion. This takes your ball into the right-hand top pocket. It is advisable, by merely reversing the positions, to play both these strokes to take the cue-ball into other pockets, continuing the process until every pocket on the table is utilized to the fullest extent.
