How to Make the Back Ball with Two Balls on Spot
Freeze two balls at the foot spot so that the
back ball is in a dead line to the center diamond on the foot rail.
Place the cue
ball near the head string in line with diamond no. 6. Shoot
the cue ball directly at the center of the 2 ball just as if the
1 ball were not on the table. Use top right english and a moderate
stroke. If the 2 ball banks to the head rail, lighten up your
stroke. Should it hit the right side rail, you need to hit
the
shot harder. This shot may not go in some instances, like a.
a bad rail, an unlevel table or new cloth.
This is an example of an englished throw bank.
Here the first ball crosses the second, producing both throw and
english to
send it
wll off the track of its origional dead position*. |
