| Playing It Safe - << PREV || NEXT >> |
|
It may not always be a good idea to sink one of your balls, especially when your ball is blocking
your opponents last ball(s).
|
You are the BLUE balls, and your opponent is RED.
Unless you feel that you
can run out,
play it safe and attempt to do something with the ball near the
side pocket. You may want to take it away from the wall for your next chance at the table.

| Jul 23, 2005 | | hi i was wondering how to set the table up when you play eight ball. Where do all the balls go in what order. so mabye you could put another picture of a pool table with the propper way to set it up. I think it has somthing to do with a backwards 'J' |

| Apr 15, 2005 | | yeah I don't see the point in playing it at the corner if its such an easy run. That just makes things way more complex than they have to be. Run it out, bitch. |
| Apr 13, 2005 | | fuck yeah

| Feb 20, 2005 | | taking the lower blue ball in the corner with left english would leave an easy straight shot to the other corner pocket. After that the eight ball is straight in too. |
| Feb 20, 2005 | | RUN EM' |

| Nov 11, 2004 | | Its is important top learn hoe to play offense and defense in the same shot you can pocket the ball in the corner and using top right you can knock your oppoents ball down the table and leaving you with a simple back on the middle pocket and an easy shot on the 8 in that even of you do miss it makes it harder on your opponent to run the table |
| Oct 28, 2004 | | i love all you players that think defense is for pussies. it's easier to take your money. ;) defense is a part of the game and ALL serious players must have it, PERIOD. Ask Tony Robles or Ralph Souquet if defense is for pussies... they'd laugh at you. |

|
| Jul 27, 2004 | | im not much of a snookering player although at times it does help....but ive always went for all my shots....snookering is for pussies (AND YES I CAN GET INTO AND OUT OF SNOOKERS)but ive always thought pool is supposed to be a quick game |
| May 9, 2004 | | this is not snooker the aim of pool is to clear the balls up and pot the black before your opponent does i hate all this shit snookering behind balls thats snooker this is pool fucking knobs |
| Apr 20, 2004 | | If you play a bottom left spin on the white and drop the blue in the lowwer corner, you should have an easy set-up on the other blue. |
| Apr 6, 2004 | | my specialty is bank shots, but there is one in particular that I've mastered and isn't too hard you just got to have the right angle for it
|
| Apr 6, 2004 | | you can't run out easy, you gotta have practice first |
| Mar 21, 2004 | | sorry but this is a bad example . this is s simple run out as long as you can get the ball back to the middle of the table |
| Feb 5, 2004 | | this seems hard |
| Jul 2, 2003 | | for you beginners your should practice this over and over until you can do it 5 times in a row. If you take the blue ball by the side pocket first you should be able to run out from there with the angle of the cue ball it will come off the rail to the middle of the table and leave you good for the 2nd ball in the corner however if you miss you have both of you balls in the corner pocket for an easy run you also dont leave your oppenent a shot. Unless they can bank out. |
| Jun 21, 2003 | | I have read all the instruction and game stragegy information. I will make this a weekly thing to read until I master the game. I real confidence I will with the help of TABLESKILLS.com. vj |
| May 23, 2003 | | I hear ya man Im just learning the game I wish I knew how to control the cue any tips r gr8t |
| May 23, 2003 | | whack it |
| May 16, 2003 | | To all of you jack asses that bitch and moan about how 'easy' these questions are...Most of the people reading this are learning a few new ways to handle this situation while the rest of you a-holes are too busy bitching to realize you could expand your game a little..........KEEP 'EM COMING ADMINISTRATOR!!!! |
| Apr 6, 2003 | | i think that playing pool is pretty fuckin cool shit and i like top left english i shoot every shot like this no matter what |
| Apr 6, 2003 | | i love tyo play pool |
| Feb 15, 2003 | | if this is BCA rules I would hit the ball closest to the side pocket lightly with a little top english and play a safe behind that same ball. after that if your opponent misses then you hae ball in hand with an easy run out. =) |
| Feb 9, 2003 | | Best way to hit this shot would be to hit the blue by the center pocket straight on dead weight,thus leaving the cue ball where the blue was and leaving your opponent with a tasty snooker to get out of |
| Jan 7, 2003 | | I agree run out is easy...who posts these dumb questions? |
| Dec 14, 2002 | | the way i would do this is shoot the ball closest to the corner with massive left gently to come off the rail and line the other ball for the corner on the other end of the table. Or shoot harder and attempt to move the opponents ball out of the way. More risky, but works very often. |
| Dec 11, 2002 | | I agree with the March 14th suggestion unless you're playing against a real whiz that makes 90% of his bank shots. |
| Nov 26, 2002 | | by sinking the far blue ball setup for the other blue ball is crucial, and very difficult for a perfecs setup. Play a hock shot by lightly hitting the blue ball on the rail leaving the cue ball against the cushion making a tough shot for your opponent. hopefully your next turn on the table will prevail with a more certain outcome. |
| Nov 15, 2002 | | Play the first ball smoothly, trying to get as close as possible to the pocket next to the other blue ball. You might even pocket one after the other. |
| Nov 8, 2002 | | Ok, here's the way that I would do this. Shoot the ball that's laid up in the corner. Put slight top right on the cue ball. Crank the ball to bring it off two rails, and bring it back down to the other side of the table behind your last ball. Then, it's pretty obvious from there. Touch your last ball down the rail and roll your cue ball up an inch or two. Shoot your eight-ball into the corner, pretty simple.
|
| Nov 7, 2002 | | what a dumb question
|
| Oct 11, 2002 | | easy run out just take the first blue ball by the side pocket all the way down the rail use top and that will bounce the cue off the rail and set you up good for the shot right in the pocket easy run!!! |
| Oct 10, 2002 | | just shoot the ball nearest to the corner with some right spin and then get set up so you can do a cross side shot.. easy as that |
| Sep 19, 2002 | | I agree also. If you can run out then do it. but safety is definitely a better play |
| Sep 12, 2002 | | This is an easy situation to deal with. All you have to do is nudge follow the cue ball into the blue ball near the rail. The blue ball will lightly hit the rail and bounce out a little bit. The cue ball will follow and bounce out underneath it. Your opponent won't have a clean shot at one of his/her balls. |
| Jul 30, 2002 | | Yes, I agree - run the ball near the side pocket up the rail towards the corner pocket, then go for the corner pocket, leaving an easy 8 ball shot. Thoughm you must watch the scratch on that - give it a little top would be safe I bet. |
| Jul 11, 2002 | | Why not use left english on the ball in the pocket and play positon on the ball on the rail? |
| Apr 30, 2002 | | I think could turn out to be fatal. You have to use perfect weight and make the combo right to have the cue ball and your last object in place for the run out. If you want to play a shot try to bank the ball on the rail cross side with alot of right english. If you make it then its a easy two ball run out. If you don't you still have you ball over the bottom pocket. |
| Mar 13, 2002 | | I play a two way shot here...attempt to pocket the ball that's not hanging in the same pocket as the ball that is hanging since there is room here. If you make it, you're left with an easy two ball out, if you miss, you've still played a nice leave. |
| Mar 3, 2002 | | run out is easy |

QuickTips
|
 |
| » |
Chalk your cue well before taking any shot that requires english/side. |
| » |
Make sure that there isn't anyone behind you when you are about to take your shot. |
| » |
Stay down after the shot, you can admire your work just as well staying down as standing up. |
| » |
Don't talk, laugh or chew while taking the shot; small movements of your head could hurt your aim. |
| » |
Find a bridge you are comfortable with and stick to it. Definetly don't alternate using an open and closed bridge on each shot. |
