HOW TO STRIKE A BILLIARD BALL

When you have to strike a ball which is tight against a cushion, or nearly so, you must play to allow your cue to slide over the cushion rail as far as possible, merely using the finger and thumb of your bridge hand to prevent it from skewing sideways. To go to the other extreme, there are many occasions when it is impossible to get near enough to your ball to make your bridge. Then, of course, you must use the rest, the half-butt, or the "long one." Never be afraid of these implements.

Adjust them carefully as flat on the table as you can, and as nearly in the line of the stroke as possible, reverse your cue-hand, and play as confidently as if you were cueing over your usual bridge hand. Confidence, and a little practice, will soon give you control of the rest. It is an awkward implement at first, making you feel as if your cue were slipping away from you. For this reason many beginners refuse to persevere with the rest, get to "hate the sight of it," and in consequence are tremendously handicapped.
