In the last edition of Black Belt Billiards, we started working to increase our ball pocketing skills with a game called Strieght Pool. How did you score? Post your scores at www.facebook.com/ groups/SneakyPeteMafia/ You should continually see your scores increase week after week as you make this game part of your daily practice session. This issue we are going to start working on our cue ball control. We will take the focus off of ball pocketing by placing the object ball near the pocket and focus on cue ball angles off of the rail and cue ball speed to a targeted location. For this game you will need: 1. The cue ball 2. The 1, 2, 3, and 4 balls 3. Three sheets of 8.5 x 11 notebook
or printer paper.
4. Scotch tape
(will keep target from moving )
1. 1-1 2. 2-2 3. 2-1, 1-2, 2-3, 3-2 4. 1-2, 2-3, 3-2, 2-1 5. 1-3, 3-1, 1-3, 3-1
Set up the table as shown above with the 1-4 balls in each corner. Do not place them far into the corner, but out far enough so the cue ball will not hit the points of the pocket when pocketing the object ball. Mark your 3 sheets of paper 1-3 and place them on the marked locations on the table. Scotch tape on the corners will keep it from sliding when you shoot. Below the table you will see 5 sets of numbers. They are the starting and finishing locations on the table you will shoot from and back to. You will always shoot the balls in order 1 through 4. The first set is as shown: 1. 1-1 The first number 1 is the starting location of the cue ball. Then a dash and the second number 1. This is the finishing location (target) where the cue ball is to stop upon. Shoot the balls in order 1-4. The second is as shown: 2. 2-2 This set uses the number 2 target as the start and finishing location. 71
