| IN addition to the examples dealt with in my preceding chapter, there is a very short jenny possible occasionally when the object-ball happens to be tight against the side cushion in the direction of baulk and only a few inches from the middle pocket. When you play this shot you have barely to graze the object-ball, as nearly missing it as you can. Put plenty of pocket side on your ball, and play a brisk, nippy stroke which sends your ball into the pocket like a flash. You play this shot from the spot on the baulk line where you can place your ball farthest away from the object-ball. It is a hard shot to make, very great accuracy being called for to strike the object-ball fine enough and sharp enough. Worst of all, it cannot be played to leave much-the best you can hope for is to move the object-ball just far enough from the side cushion to give you a chance of a long jenny into the top pocket. Still, it is a handy shot to know something about-it may enable you to force an opening and get a badly-needed break. | |||
