Strength Affects Side

Side as a Last Resort

This is offered by playing the stroke as I always do. Instead of exploiting the slowish shot with all its charm and risk, I play hard enough to take the red across the table and more than half-way back again, thus gaining position as shown in my diagram. By playing at this strength, I keep my ball dead straight it is moving too fast to turn before hitting the red-and it travels on direct to the pocket where the strong side helps it in. The stroke has to be handled very accurately when played in this manner. There is no scope for the cue-ball to "bump" somewhere near the pocket and make the jenny because of the powerful side-the ball is traveling too fast for that-all the help you will get from the side only makes sure of the pocket if the direction of your ball is good. But you do know what you have to do-there is no turning movement to allow for before your ball hits the object-ball-a movement it is most difficult to control-and for this reason I always prefer to play the stroke in the manner shown.

For instructional purposes, however, I want you to practice this jenny in both ways. Play it slowly enough to compel allowance for the turn of your ball, and then play it quickly enough to remove the necessity for any such allowance. By doing this you will accomplish two things-you will add a working knowledge of a most useful shot to your game, and, more important still, you will gain a practical insight into an effect of side which is too often regarded by amateurs as scarcely worth while bothering about.
