| Having arranged the angle according to the measurements given in Fig. 49, the rest is relatively easy. All you have to do is to hit the red half-ball with as much left-hand side on your ball as you can impart, and you will see your ball run into the top pocket as if it could not do anything else if it tried. At first, play at whatever strength you find most likely to make your ball enter the pocket with consistent facility. Do this on both sides of the table. Then, having accustomed your eye to the correct angle for the stroke, and learned to play it with the same amount of side every time, strike out for yourself and set up a variety of positions for different long jennies. Continue to practice these until you acquire confidence as regards making your ball enter the pocket. Do not think about anything else until this confidence is gained. Then you must turn to positional requirements, and strive to play your long jennies so that the object-ball is left in the centre of the table where it offers a selection of natural angle losers. It is very important that you should play your long jennies with this positional effect, but it is better to arrive at this stage by the two distinct steps I have advised, as it is rather too much to try to make the long jenny and leave correct position until after the actual scoring of the shot "comes easy," as we say in the profession. | |||
