Value of One-Ball Practice

If you are a beginner, or a man who plays fairly well and wishes to play better, I advise you to begin your ball striking with one ball only on the table. Place the ball on the centre spot of the baulk line, strike it truly in its centre, and aim to send it straight over the line of spots facing you. Let your cue go straight through the ball, and if you have played the shot properly, the ball will return to the tip of your cue, coming back with beautiful truth off the top cushion. More likely than not, it will take you a considerable time to bring the ball straight back with any approach to consistency, as this old one-ball practice stroke is a very exacting test of good cueing. Your trouble will be that instead of hitting your ball in the middle, you will impart unintentional side, and bring the ball back to the right or left, as the case may be. Nothing but steady practice will eradicate this fault, and I advise you to persevere with this one-ball stroke until you can hit your ball truly in its centre. By so doing you will always have a reliable test of the accuracy of your cueing ready to hand. You may depend on it that if you think you are hitting your ball centrally, and the rebound from the top cushion proves that you are not doing so, then something is wrong with your cue-swing. Most probably, you are inclining the butt of your cue out away from your body at the instant you strike the ball, which is quite enough to account for your inability to hit your ball accurately.
