A Multi-Cushion Cannon with Good After-Position

A Gathering Cannon

Reverting again to cannons of the genus shown in Figs. 63 and 65, it is necessary to note an exception to the rule that the first object-ball should always be struck fully for positional reasons. You will get into trouble if you do this with the balls in the position shown in Fig. 67. Here you can score easily enough by a thickish contact with the red, if you have enough running side on your ball. But after-position is decidedly questionable. For this reason, it is far better to play fine off the red, with strong right-hand side on your ball, to make the cannon as shown in my diagram; at the same time cutting the red over to the vicinity of the right-hand top pocket with a view to gaming every positional advantage.
