A Multi-Cushion Cannon with Good After-Position

A Gathering Cannon

You remember the cannon dealt with in my last chapter (see Fig. 63). To all appearances, this cannon is very different from the one shown in Fig. 65, which shows how the balls lie. Really, however, there is a striking resemblance. The leave is not particularly inviting, and the average amateur attempts to cope with it by spotting his ball somewhere near the right-hand spot of the baulk -line, and playing a cannon off the top cushion with left side on his ball to bring it back on the white, perhaps after brushing the side cushion. By so doing, he is actually sending the cue-ball almost exactly where he should direct the red, the first object-ball in the cannon. The correct shot, as shown in my diagram, is made by playing rather full on the red with a good deal of right-hand side on your ball. This makes the cannon off the side cushion, and brings the red into position via the top cushion. The underlying principle is exactly the same as that involved in the cannon shown in Fig. 63. In each case the main thing is to play fully enough on the first object-ball to enable you to cannon and keep the balls together-the fact that you want side when making the second cannon may be treated as an incident of execution-it is a great mistake to regard this as making a fundamental difference between the two strokes.
