When playing the stroke shown in Fig. 21.
you must not play too straight at the red, or
you may pot it and send your own ball
into the pocket as well, a bad shot. The best
stroke follows through to leave your ball
nicely clear of the cushion (as in Fig. 21) and
in correct line for the half-ball loser, as shown
in Fig. 22. But when you are trying to do
this, you are very likely to leave your ball in one of the three positions shown
in Fig. 22. Of
these No. 1 is the
worst, and you
always want to
guard against it
when playing the
red winner shown
in Fig. 21. You
want strong right-hand side on your
ball to make the
loser into the top
pocket from No. 1
position, and the
ball-to-ball contact should be
finer than half-ball, how much finer depends on the exact
position of the cue-ball; as very little variation in angle makes a great difference when
your ball has gone up the table near the side
cushion and out of correct line for the loser
off the spotted red. It is much better to err
in the other direction, thus leaving No. 2,
which offers a slightly "wider" shot than
the true half-ball into the top pocket. You
rectify this by playing plain-ball at free
strength. No. 3 is a forcer; you play a clean
half-ball hard enough to bring the red in and
out of baulk, striking your ball high and
taking care not to use any side. All the
strokes should be handled to keep the red
in the centre of the table so that a hazard
is offered for the next stroke. A middle
pocket in-off is the best leave, but if you
have a simple half-ball into a top pocket
to play at, you will have no cause for any
complaint.
