"A "Ten-Shot""
|
||
|
Figure 79 brings us to the undeniably
spectacular. It is a ten-shot. To make it
you place the cue-ball 161/2 inches from the
left-side cushion and 22 1/2 inches from the top cushion. The red is tight against the top
cushion, 3 1/2 inches to the right of the billiard spot, and the white is on the brink of the right
top pocket. Having arranged the balls carefully in accordance with these measurements,
your ball must be struck very hard and high
and so far to the left that it carries an abundance of pocket side. Hit the red full in
the face, and cue as freely as you can. Then
you will see your ball run smartly along the
top cushion, hugging that cushion so closely
that it pots the white and follows into the
pocket after that ball. Meanwhile, the red
will travel round the table, as shown by the
continuous line in my diagram, and finally
come to rest in the same pocket as the other
two balls, thus completing the ten-shot.
Mind, I do not guarantee that you will make
this shot at your first attempt, or even that you will make it after several attempts. But
you are sure to make it eventually if you will
only persevere, just stick to it, and in the
meantime you will pick up a few extremely
useful hints about running through a ball
tight against a cushion.
