"Angle Differences with Ivory and Composition Balls - part 2"
|
||
|
To a varying extent, this difference applies
in every stroke on the table. When playing
forcers with composition balls, however, you
must make the angle relatively "wider"
still. In actual play there is no great difficulty in allowing for the difference between
ivory and composition balls. With the help
of the two diagrams I have given, any beginner
can gauge the difference after a few trial shots.
The trouble is that you cannot readily change from ivory to composition when you begin to play real billiards. It takes a man some time to get used to the change, and this is the main reason why composition balls are so much out of favor in big billiards at the present time. All the British professionals use ivories, make good breaks with them, and are content to leave it at that-there being no apparent reason why they should trouble to get used to the composition ball; it is different over-seas, where climatic conditions give the composition ball decided preference.
