Four in Three
Place the
cueball on the footspot, and freeze the 8-ball behind it, in line
with the corner pocket. Freeze the 2-ball to the 8, pointed straight
up the table. Freeze the 1-ball to the 8, pointed straight at the
side rail. There should be 1" to 1 1/2" of space between
the 1 & 2. Then freeze the 3-ball and 4-ball, respectively,
to the 1 and 2, so that the frozen pairs are lined up at the outside
edges of the side and corner pockets. Remove the 8, and place the
cueball in front of the shot. Stroke very firm centerball, cutting
the 1-ball slightly backwards, while caroming into the 2-ball.
All four balls should go in with one stroke of the cue. |
