"An "Enterprising" Stroke"

| Figure 47 shows a shot more like the sort of thing usually described as "enterprising." It is a five-cushion cannon, and a very "hot" one. The main difficulty is that check side must be used to bring your ball away at the correct angle for the cannon, and as this tends to retard the run of your ball, neither must you use too much of it; nor must you hit the first object-ball too thickly and take too much pace out of your own ball by reason of the over-full contact. This is another test of free cueing, and is worth trying merely on this account. It is a good shot because it eliminates the risk there is of potting the white if you attempt the screw cannon from white to red via the top cushion. There is also a sporting chance of your ball dropping nicely on the red and tapping it over the top pocket when the five-cushion cannon is completed. This stroke also takes the white over towards the red, the screw shot splits the balls, from which it is evident that, as usual, enterprise pays when everything is taken into account. | |||
