"Only use Side when Necessary"
|

|
Consequently, whenever you use side, you
have to swing your cue parallel to the true
line of the stroke, and to allow for your ball
"running off" if you play at all slowly at
such a range that your ball has room in which
to "spin away." You can do all this, but
you do not want to volunteer for it. Therefore,
never use side if you can possibly do without it.
The idea that a "bit of side" makes a stipulated shot easier must be accepted with caution, and always rejected if you can make the shot and leave good position by plain ball striking. Of course, there are strokes, plenty of them, where side must be used ; but there are many on the border line, and "when in doubt ignore side" is the motto for you. The fact that "a bit of side" may help a ball into a pocket does not begin to compensate you for the complications you have to allow for and contend with when side is employed, and, I repeat, do not use it unless you are confident that you really need it. |
