(This is today’s bit of advice from the book Safety Toolbox.)
This is a small series of exercises to help you learn to precisely position the cue ball up against a cushion. There are three setups:
- Roll the cue ball up to the first rail.
- Roll the cue ball off 1 rail and up to the second rail.
- Roll the cue ball off two rails and up to the third rail.
Two variations are:
- Thin hit on the object ball that follows the tangent line.
- Fuller hit (with follow) to roll the cue ball towards the intended target.
One cushion, example 1
Set these up with donuts. Select a specific place to die along the cushion. Use a thin and full hit on the object ball.
One cushion, example 2
Practice sending the cue ball to the other end of the table and lay up against the rail. Use a thin and full hit on the object ball.
Two cushion, example 1
Lay down a Post-It sheet for your target. Use a thin and full hit on the object ball.
Two cushion, example 2
To send the cue ball further away, add right side spin. Use a thin and full hit on the object ball.
Three cushion, example 1
Learn to own the ability to send the cue ball three rails and die on the third rail. It’s a very useful talent. Use a thin and full hit on the object ball.
Three cushion, example 2
This is an unexpected way to move the cue ball to a planned location. It is not as difficult as you might think. Use a thin and full hit on the object ball.
