Plate XXVII. — Serial One-Cushion Strokes
Illustrating how a carom may be effected from various more or less difficult positions.
From ball 1.—Cue-ball ⅝ right, object-ball ½ left; stroke, ½ in excess of “medium.”
From ball 2.—Cue-ball ½ right, object-ball ⅛ left; stroke, “medium.”
From ball 3.—Cue ball ¼ right, object-ball ⅛ right; stroke, “medium.”
From ball 4.—Cue-ball ½ left, ¼ above, object-ball ½ left; stroke, “ordinary.” Cue-ball cushions at c, f, d, e effecting carom on ball 5. The object-ball 4 doubles the length of the table, resting at h. Ball 5 is placed the width of a ball from either cushion. Ball 4 is placed in this diagram just off the cushion that the pupil may avoid a kiss on account of it touching the cushion. The carom may be made with ball 4 touching the cushion.
