Ball Control

The playing application of the foregoing remarks is seen to perfection in a multi-cushion cannon like the example shown in Fig. 60. To ensure correctness in the angles, set the shot up like this: Place both the red and the white 7 inches from the side cushion, with the red adjacent to baulk and the white at the spot end, as shown in the diagram. Place the cue-ball in line with the red, and about two feet from it. Your stroke is a cannon with a two-fold object. First, of course, you have to make your cannon ; but at the same time you bring the balls together, thus transforming bad position into good, a most advantageous change for the better which a good knowledge of angles will often enable you to effect. You must get plenty of left-hand side on your ball, strike the red a shade thicker than quarter-ball, and play at just the right strength to make the five-cushion cannon shown in my diagram. At the same time, the red will travel in the direction of the continuous line, and all three balls will be left together when this spectacular and effective cannon is completed.

You are always likely to make it off three cushions, but this is not so good a shot, as there is a strong probability of potting the white when the cannon is made in this manner. The two additional cushions prevent this, and also deaden the run of the cue-ball, so that the cannon is completed gently enough to leave the balls as desired. You must not play too hard, and if you find that you cannot get the cue-ball round, that you are "short in strength" as regards making the cannon, although the red travels where you want it, do not blame the cushions for being too slow. The fact that the red "gets there" shows there is nothing the matter with the cushions. If you hit the red hard enough to leave it in correct position, your ball must have been struck with sufficient force to make the cannon. Yet it may fail to do so, perhaps repeatedly. Why does this happen?
