A Combination of Screw and Side

When the Use of Side is Permissible

An Awkward Stroke

A Valuable Lesson

Figure 55 shows two more examples of these most useful strokes. The first, played into the left top pocket, is more of a screw shot than anything else. You want a fair amount of screw to bring your ball back to the pocket, and it must be your first consideration. At the same time, however, left-hand side will be most useful to help your ball into the pocket, and you must use it for that commendable purpose. Here, I may digress to point out, is an instructive illustration of the permissible use of side. When you attempt to screw back into the pocket, the stroke wants so much making that a little error in the course of your ball to the pocket is so excusable that you are entitled to expect it, and to rely on side to neutralize it. But you are not entitled to expect this assistance from side when playing any stroke you ought to make by plain-ball striking, and if you act on this plan you will avoid a morass in which many players flounder for the whole of their billiard lives.
