Pocket the two end balls without moving
the eight
Freeze the 1, 8, and 9 balls in this order from
the left corner pocket along the foot rail. Align the 9 ball with
diamond no. 8 as shown. All three balls must be frozen to the rail
and to each other so tap them lightly into the table with another
ball. Place the cue ball on the right side of the table in line
with the right corner pocket. (See diagram). To pocket the two
end balls without moving the middle ball, shoot the center of the
cue ball right at the edge of the 1 ball with a hard center ball
stroke. The 1 ball will bank and the 9 goes straight in. Shoot
the cue ball to scratch in the pocket.
When as many as three balls are frozen to a
rail and each other, the third ball is always dead to its pocket,
no matter how you force the first ball into the second. |
