This is known as the "postman's knock"
position because of the double kiss utilized
every time the cannon is played. Charles
Dawson used to play it very well, Willie
Smith keeps it going to good purpose when he
thinks he will, and Tom Newman is master
of it, as he is of every other position at the
spot-end. It looks the easiest thing in the
world to "keep on doing it" when you see a
first-rate professional playing it so cleverly
that he may make six or eight cannons, with their accompanying red winners, without
moving the white ball a fraction of an inch
away from its position against the top cushion.
But you try to do it and see what happens,
even if you are reckoned "quite useful"
among your billiard-playing friends. You
may make the first cannon fairly well, but you
are excessively likely to spoil the sequence as
soon as you pot the red, most probably by
leaving a cannon which cannot be played with
the requisite double-kiss effect. Then you
may be compelled to open the game, which I
should advise you to do in the first place. If
you play the cannon with the idea of leaving
the red where you can pot it and leave the
familiar half-ball loser off the spotted red,
you will do much better than you will by
trying for the "postman's knock" sequence
of positional kiss effects, and I advise you to
plan your break-building accordingly.
