Football Shot- No. 1 Through the Middle
The 1 and 2 balls are frozen even with the tip
of the side pocket at the angle indicated by the dotted line. The
3,4 and 5 balls
are in a straight line with the 1 ball and spaced apart as
suggested by long dotted lines. Freeze a ball to each of these
balls dead
along the same lines. The 6 and 7 balls are frozen one diamond
out from the left rail and dead to hit the left side of the
8 ball. (See Diagram).
Place the cue ball two diamonds back but in
line with the egde of the 2 ball. Hit the cue ball hard just a
little above center
aiming the 2 ball at diamond no. 3. The cue ball must hit the
6 ball full.
The balls open up like a football play, and
the 1 ball banks straight across the table into the right side
pocket. |
