"A Useful Shot to Know"

Figure 39 shows a similar problem. There
is "no room" to run through the white
direct into the middle pocket, and when this is the case, the white is often potted and a
double-baulk left simply through pure ignorance. If you strike your ball nicely a shade
above its centre and without putting an atom
of side on it, and play to send the white against
the pocket shoulder, as shown in my diagram,
you will save the white every time, and your
ball cannot do anything else except find the
pocket. Really this shot is easier than
potting the white in a manner gaining good
position for double-baulking, as you will soon
discover by playing over the position shown
in my diagram. When you have done this,
I want you to remember that strokes like
those shown in Figs. 38 and 39 are "on"
much more frequently than most players
suspect, especially variations of the stroke
shown in Fig. 39.
If you spend a quiet hour or two working these shots out, you will learn enough to enable you to force many an opening when you need it badly, or to keep a break going when the scoring of a few more points means much to you. |
