HOW TO STRIKE A BILLIARD BALL

THERE are a few people who have a natural cue action which enables them to strike a billiard ball properly without any training. This applies to about one player in a million, I should say, the remainder have to be taught how to hold a cue and swing it to advantage. The first thing I want you to understand is that you must strike your ball so that you make it both move and spin.

For plain ball shots, the spin will be directly forward. If you put side on your ball, the spin will be in the direction of the side imparted. Should you use screw, you will require backward rotation. These ball movements are often seen in combination, and there are others I might mention. But I have said enough to make my point clear, which is that for the vast majority of billiard strokes your ball must spin as well as move in any required direction. It will not do if you merely move your ball from place to place like a curling stone skidding over ice. There are a few strokes, stabs, stuns, and the like, where inert running of the cue-ball is essential. These can be treated as exceptions ; for the rest, which will comprise by far the greater number of your strokes, some form of lively rotation is necessary.
