your shot and the lines will extend.


II. Next, you need to see whether the use of side-spin combined
with bouncing the cue-ball off one or more cushions will be
effective.

The use of side spin when hitting the cue-ball against the
cushion will affect the angle at which the cue-ball bounces off
the cushion. This means that if you couldn't hit the lowest
numbered ball with no side-spin because the angles you got off
the cushions weren't 'satisfactory', you could experiment with
the right and left spin options to see whether these give you the
right angles to hit the target ball with.


III. Finally, if the angles you can get off the cushions with and
without side-spin aren't enough to hit the required ball,
you can play around with the power of your shot too.

When playing shots with side spin against the cushion, the
severity of which the cue-ball deviates from the 'normal' angle
depends on the speed that the cue-ball is travelling - the
faster it's going, the more severe the angle is off the cushion.
This means that as well as deviating the angle that the ball
travels off the cushion with side spin, you can also do the same
by changing power. (As long as you use some side spin as well,
otherwise it makes no difference!!) This is particularly good
because it will change the angle in smaller chunks than fiddling
with the amount of side spin used, so it can be used for 'fine-
