Playing to leave baulks, either single or
double, and the giving of safety misses, are but
chapters in the book of safety play. There
remains the playing on a ball with the idea of
leaving safety other than by a single or double baulk. Here, to be frank, only experience
of the game can help you very much. This
aspect of safety play is rarely seen in action,
and when it is needed you want to know a lot
about billiards to handle it effectively. I
doubt whether it can be taught-it is a case of mother wit, supplemented by training and knowledge, rising to a particular occasion. The same is even more true of that advanced and astute phase of safety play which takes the form of deliberately leaving your opponent a risky chance of a score, which, if he misses it, will leave a good game for you, and is not likely to leave much for him if he does manage to score from your beguiling leave. Some very pretty diagrams could be drawn about this sort of thing, but I should call it more subtle than safe, and do not advise you to worry much about it until you are able to make a hundred break every now and then. |
