Cushions

As regards cushions, if a ball "jumps," that is, rebounds more or less off the surface of the table when a ball strikes the cushion while traveling at a good pace, those cushions are not fit to play billiards on. Of course, by employing smashing strength at short range you can make a ball "jump" from the best cushion ever made; you can even make it leap clean off the table if you strike it hard enough and high enough. But this is not what I mean; I am talking about the cue ball "jumping" when you play to make a cannon all round the table, or the object-ball "jumping" when you play a forcer off it.

When this sort of thing happens, the cushions are no good ; all the correct angles are spoiled, and it is not the least use trying to play real billiards on a table with such cushions. I hope you have something vastly better to play upon, that you have a good cue, a true set of balls, and a cloth in fair condition. Given these, you can follow my instructions with advantage, but I fear I cannot help you if they are lacking. That is why I have commenced my book with a reference to playing conditions. The point is vital; no book, no teacher, can make a cue man of you if the playing conditions do not permit it.
