"Another Kiss Cannon"
|
||
|
The kiss cannon shown in Fig. 33 is very
easy. All three balls are dead in line, as shown in the diagram. You play to hit the
red full-ball, when the cannon cannot be missed
if you play at moderate strength and fail to
do what you are aiming for. This is to hit
the red exactly in its centre. If you did so,
a double kiss would spoil the cannon. What
happens is that you aim to hit the red full
with absolute accuracy, but you are sure to
be just a little off the target at the range.
Consequently, the red travels a little obliquely on the white, and kisses that ball away from the cushion to meet your ball as it runs through the red. A very good shot to know, as it offers a certain score when the balls are in an otherwise safe position. Slight variations of it are playable when the balls are not quite straight in line, but the margin in this direction is very small. Never play these shots too hard, or anything may happen except the kiss cannon you are attempting. |
