Don't forget also that when you hit the cue ball it will squirt. The second part of the shot is to select how much of the cue ball is to be used so that the object ball can be hit on the mark. Divide the cue ball into 7 parts with 0 being the center. The divisions are 1,2,3, left and 1,2,3 right. For a straight shot hit the object ball mark with the 0 cue ball line.
Slight angle use the one, bigger angle use the two, max angle use the three.
As you get used to this method you never need to look at the pocket, just the angle and then determine if it's a 1,2, or 3 angle shot. You also know the cue ball has a clock on it's face for english play. All Rights Reserved.
