Topic: Practicing Defense and Safeties

Here's a safety to practice. It can help in many situations. Hit the 1-ball on the left side, with lower left english (softly). This makes the cue ball travel off the rail at a wide angle (missing all of the other balls) and will hide the 1-ball behind the cluster.

In this situation, hitting the cue ball with very slight low english (just enough to stop the ball in place) will cause the cue to stop (right where it would contact the 1-ball), and the 1-ball to hide down by the corner. Speed plays an important role in safety playing.
