(User Info | Send a Message) | Since you put up the 9 ball up there, I will have different choices in different kind of situations.
1. If I play for fun with friends, I would go for one of the following choices, depending how 9 ball and Q ball 's exact location on the table:
(a). use top-left English to cut 9 ball into the side-pocket next to the 9 ball.
(b). use center ball to bank 9 to left lower corner.
(c). use center ball and slightly high english to cross bank the 9 ball into the other side of side-pocket.
2. If I am practicing, I would try to use (c) only and try to control the Q Ball position as well; it's because that I will see many situations like this in competition and I want to turn this bad situation around.
3. If I am in action or tournment and I have to make this shot instead of playing safety, I will use (b) only but with lower-right English. This can also leave the Q ball to the other side of the table so that it will be somewhat safe if you

Simply stated: You put the 9 ball to a rail and leave the cue ball hung on the inside of the side pocket. The hornlike nipples in the sides stick out generally enough to give your opponent either no view of the ball, or an unmakeable shot.
Granted, this is a fine example of the importance of the speed of the game. It is truly a touch shot that must be practiced to be mastered.
Advice: Started with the balls closer together but still witht the same angle. Then as you get it, move the cue ball farther away from the object ball. |

by Anonymous on Sun, Dec 26, 2004 @ 05:22:05 CST | | The center of the 9-ball is on the point of the cushion leaving 1/2 the 9 inside (clear) of the side pocket. This is important because if the ball is a little further it can't be made, but from here simply use center ball and a feather thin hit on the 9 with medium-soft speed. This can be made without scratching because the slower speed minimizes cue ball deflection and the cue ball contacts the rail early and misses the corner. |
