"Positional Sequences after Kiss Cannons"
|
||
|
As regards positional sequences dependent
on kiss effects, these are mainly intricate
refinements at the spot-end. They belong
to top-of-the-table billiards, a specialized
scoring method invented by John Roberts,
and perfected and played by Tom Newman
as no other cue man has ever handled it.
Rightly considered, it is almost a game by itself, and so very difficult that I doubt whether any amateur has ever gained anything by it. Some of the top-fighters among the amateurs get going "at the top" on occasion, but never with any marked effect, and it is a very open question whether they would not score more points if they kept to the all-round game. As this is the case, what is the use of asking the average amateur, never mind the beginner, to cope with the difficulties of the alternating red winner and cannon movement?
