Alternative Methods

To revert to our short jenny, you set up the example shown in Fig. 50, by placing the cue-ball 3 ¾ inches inside the left spot of the baulk-line. Put the red 3 1/2 inches from the right side cushion and 25 1/2 inches from the baulk-line, and you have the stroke arranged to perfection. Once again, I want you to notice the angle, and thus familiarize your eye with the correct method of placing your ball for these most useful strokes. To play the shot, you hit the red half-ball with as much right-hand side on your ball as you can impart to it. As regards strength, the stroke can be made very prettily by playing just hard enough to bring the red away from the side cushion so as to leave an easy loser into the right-hand middle pocket. As so many fine players make the stroke in this way, I have nothing to say against it. But I do think that by playing so slowly your ball is given more chance to turn than is necessary, and I always play with just enough strength to take the red across the table as shown by the continuous line in my diagram, thus keeping my ball straight and eliminating the tricky turning tendency.
