Use Safety Play with Discretion

Mention of hundred breaks reminds me that, after all, safety play is purely negative in purport and effect. The only sure thing when you play for safety is that your scoring is at an end for the time being. You play in such a way that you hope the other man will be beaten, and, if you are skilful, this hope is usually justified. But it may not be. Billiards is a very funny game, as Edward Diggle remarked, and anything may happen while the rules allow any one of six pockets or a cannon to count whether played for or not. Therefore, do not rely over-much on safety play. Use it with discretion, but never make it the strongest part of your game or anything like it. You must score points to win, it is not enough to stop the other chap from scoring. Never cramp your game with the intention of keeping your opponent out. Play free, open billiards, try to score whenever you can see even a sporting chance of so doing. When you cannot, play for safety with set purpose, but do not destroy the correct balance of your game by looking around for "safety first" instead of the prospect of a score when the balls happen to lie rather badly.
