Ball "Turn" and its Effect

Only use Side when Necessary

In addition, there is the important fact that side makes a ball turn if it has any distance to travel before striking the object-ball. This turning tendency is of no practical account if your ball is moving quickly, but if you play a slow or slowish ball with strong side on a woollen cloth, the ball will turn in the direction of the side when running with the nap, and in the contrary direction when running against the nap. On a napless cloth, the ball always turns in the direction of the side it carries. Do not think this is a refinement you need not bother about. It makes a lot of difference when your ball has a long way to go, and an appreciable difference at what may be called medium ranges. To prove this, put the red ball almost touching the top cushion and four or five inches from the left-hand top pocket. If you aim to hit the red "full ball," and put as much left side on your ball as you can, you actually see your ball turn as it travels slowly up the table, and finishes by just clipping the red beautifully, and leaving it in good position as the cue-ball darts into the pocket. Quite a pretty shot, and a good one when you want it, but at the moment I wish you to study it to learn how much you have to allow for your ball departing from a straight line owing to the influence of side.
