"The Danger of Side"
|

|
So many amateurs, as soon as they see how
extremely helpful pocket side is on occasion,
fall into the deplorable habit of using more
or less side with all sorts of shots which ought
to be made by plain ball striking and accurate
division of the object-ball. I cannot warn
you too strongly against this common fault,
and to help you to guard against it, I advise
you to adopt this rule: When you are in
doubt as to whether or not side should be
used to help your ball into a pocket-do not
use any-play plain-ball with all the accuracy
and judgment you can put into the stroke.
Most unfortunately, the direct opposite is the
general rule among amateurs. They play on the principle-"Always use side when in
doubt," and their billiards suffers accordingly,
very often to the extent of losing full half of
scoring ability. This may seem a startling
thing to say, but it is so true that in every
billiard room of any size there are players
whose game would improve fifty in a hundred
if they left off playing with side whether it is
wanted or not.
