Value of One-Ball Practice

Besides practicing the hitting of your ball in the middle, it is a good idea to practice putting side on your ball. Do this by playing your ball straight along the baulk-line, or just clear of it, and seeing how far back into baulk you can bring it. A stroke played fairly out of baulk which brings your ball back off the side cushion into a baulk pocket shows that you have imparted a fair amount of side to the cue ball, but you must not be content with that. You should strive to reach the point indicated in Fig. 6, which is a good foot along the baulk cushion. I do not say this is the limit, I can put enough side on a ball to bring it back to the baulk cushion another six inches or so further from the pocket. But a foot will do very nicely to go on with. You will be able to make plenty of hundred breaks without ever needing more side than is required to bring the ball back as shown in my diagram. Practice this shot from each side of the table in order to coach yourself to strike your ball on either side with equal facility.
