A Useful Shot to Know

When to Pot the White

An Ideal Double-Baulk

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.
