A "Bread and Butter" Cannon

A Difficult Positional Cannon

WHEN I am giving billiard lessons, I often ask my pupils to play a stroke in "their own way." This teaches me something, showing me plenty of faults it is my business to eradicate. A favorite test stroke of mine in this connection, is the cannon shown in Fig. 71. Whenever I set this up for a beginner to attempt, it is long odds that he will try to make a floppy kind of run-through cannon at slow strength, or else, if he happens to be exceptionally keen-sighted, he will attempt a fine cannon direct from red to white. Both these strokes are wrong, the fine shot totally and hopelessly-the slow run-through is merely the right shot played wrongly. If you strike your ball above its centre and make this run-through cannon at correct strength, striking the red nearly full, you will send the colored ball in and out of baulk, and leave the three balls the next thing to "bunched" when the cannon is made. Exactly the same principle applies to any number of run-through cannons played when the striker is facing baulk. These should always be played to drive the first object-ball in and out of baulk at such strength that it comes to rest near the other balls when the cannon is scored.
