Banking
to the unseen bottom right corner pocket, here the angle through
the middle of the ball is coming from 32 (3.2 diamonds) on
the close bottom end rail from the desired corner pocket,
and if you could see the top of the far end rail you would
see that it's 16 (1.6 diamonds) from the opposite top right
corner pocket... |
 |
39
from the corner through 19 1/2 on the near rail... |
 |
Right
index finger is on the imaginary 1st, or 4th end rail diamond.
In this case it is the 4th diamond ( 40 ).
From here I would bank or kick to the opposite corner pocket
by aiming at and through the middle diamond ( 20 ) on the
other end rail... |
 |
When
banking or kicking past the middle ( 20 ) diamond on the short
end rail for every 1/4 diamond above 20 you must come down
and aim through 1 diamond on the long side rail. Here I'm
shooting through 30 on the end rail, which is 4 x 1/4 diamonds
above 20 so my aim must be from 4 on the long rail... |
 |
Doubling
the distance from center of pocket desired to the center of
the opposite corner pocket.Using my right thumb to mark the
distance... |
 |
Bring
the tip over to the center of the opposite corner, now aim
every ball on the table at my right thumb, they will all bank
into the other corner pocket... |
 |
Same
theory applies when kicking at an ob, measure from the center
of an imaginary cb against the ob, here again I've marked
where the cue meets the rail with my right thumb... |
 |
Go
straight back, bringing the tip to the rail, you can now hit
this ob with any ball aimed at my right thumb.
All kicks should be hit with some degree of running english,
but don't stray to far from center... |
 |
Doubling
again... |
 |
The
more straight on towards center the cb hits the rail, the
more toward center the running english. I would hit this shot
firm with
1/2 tip of left center english. |
 |
When
hitting just a little bit of the rail with the cb use the
opposite amount of running english, here I would hit the cb
2 tips toward 10:30 ( since the cb is hitting the r 2 tips
toward 1:30. This will assist the cb in maintaining an accurate
course. Be sure to gear the speed down when the cb is close
to the rebounding rail... |
 |
Banking
from 16 through 8... |
 |
Banking
from 23 through 11 1/2...
These Banks and Kicks have all been natural, we'll get into
some secrets later on unnatural Banks and Kicks later, I'll
show you how to make the ob bigger...Jimmy
