Playing
the 1 ball.
Hit the cueball (cb) 1 or 2 tips above center to make this
shot.
Shoot medium speed with only about 10 degrees cue elevation...
|
 |
The
reason you must hit the cb above center is to keep it a
lower, smaller jump. Hitting the cb below center here would
cause it to jump off the table very easily...
|
 |
Camera
catches the 1 ball falling, and the cb on its way up table...
|
 |
Well,
not too far up table as the cb struck the 1 ball pretty
flush...
|
 |
Here
is a very interesting, fairly easy, very handy, only a few
players know it, jump shot... |
 |
Hit
the cb at 2:30, aim at the rail about 1in. behind the 2 ball.
Shoot with a jab stroke.
The cb will jump up over the 2 ball, then it will take the
masse' and curve toward the ob (1 ball in the corner). Watch
the cb, ie.; jumps off the table = to much elevation. Hits
the 2 ball = not enough elevation... |
 |
Having
successfully jumped over the 2 ball, the cb is now masseing
toward the 1 ball... |
 |
After
pocketing the 1 ball, I bring the cue back to my bridge
hand and aim at exactly where I hit the rail, it is very
close to the 2 ball, closer than you would believe possible.
This shot also comes up on the shorter end rails, and
is very effective. Learn anything yet??
