My next shot reveals a possibility rather
than even a probability. It is an all-round
cannon which may be considered more of an exhibition shot than anything else. Still it
has its uses in serious billiards, as it teaches
something which may be the one thing you
want to know to keep a badly-needed break
on the move. Figure 74 shows how the balls are placed. The cue-ball is almost touching
the red, the red is touching the white, a thing
you must be careful about when setting the
shot up. You score by playing a fine, sharp
shot off the red, using a little running side,
and striking your ball with freedom enough
to send it completely round the table, as
shown by the dotted line in my diagram.
While your ball is sprinting round the table,
the white is kissed slowly along the top
cushion, and, with a little luck, your ball and
the white will meet at the point shown by a
cross in my diagram.
There are sundry variations of this particular kind of shot playable, and a possibility of scoring something of the kind is always worth looking for when the balls cover badly against a cushion, and the two object-balls are touching. |
