Plate XXXIII. — Compound Angles
Illustrating a peculiar two-cushion stroke with the application of twist and draw.
Cue-ball ¼ left, ⅝ below, object-ball ½ right; stroke, “medium.”
The purpose in striking cue-ball ⅝ below is to reach cushion at a by making no more than ½ on object-ball, driving it to c. The ¼ left is given the cue-ball that it may perform the angle a to b, which accomplishes the carom. Greater twist would perform a more obtuse angle to side cushion, striking at e.
