If you can't run the table all of the time, you may want to add some nice safety plays to your
skills set.
|
|
|
|
A more advanced version of this drill would be to cut the angle that you are given from the
cue ball to the object ball. A much thinner cut is necessary to execute this shot successfully.

| Mar 1, 2005 | | can someone tell me about injuries in billiards |
| Feb 20, 2005 | | that's ok unless your playing busch league rules. then your in trouble |
| Feb 8, 2005 | | Its put there because its a tough safety to pull off. It will come in handy to master that type of safety because there are many situations where there is no option but a safety of that sort is optimal. |
| Jan 27, 2005 | | or just backspin the cue, instead of the top spin, and line the (1) up with the same pocket you combo'd into last |
| Jan 27, 2005 | | For one, yes this site is alittle "wack", but as for the shot...do the damn combo-(1) into (4) with some top and not very hard at all...not hard to execute, that way your next shot with the (1) ball is a sure shot in the opposite corner you just pocketed the (4) |
| Jan 16, 2005 | | this site is wack
|
| Dec 26, 2004 | | WTF

| Jul 23, 2004 | | if you know how to play pool, these drills are great... thanks for the advice... i've been practicing your drills and i just took 9th place in the nationals in las vegas... thanks for the tips...keep them coming... |
| Jun 2, 2004 | | WELL WOULDNT YOU JUS COMBINATE THE 1 TO THE 9??
|
| May 9, 2004 | | this shot is a foul as the rules have changed bpa chairman |
| May 9, 2004 | | hello
|
| Feb 5, 2004 | | good tip, too bad i don't understand the fucking rules to any game |
| Nov 19, 2003 | | la bola es buena, aunque hay que prever que no se debe dejar bola vista, porque se corre el riesgo de que el contrario no nos deje tiro a nosotros. |
| Aug 27, 2003 | | interesting. |
| Jul 2, 2003 | | wouldnt this play be a foul since after hitting your obect ball the cueball or the object ball didnt hit a rail????? |
| Mar 3, 2003 | | sup all im billiard master here and i can kikz all yours asses |
| Feb 15, 2003 | | with the bottom diagram. i would just hit the yellow ball with top left just enough so it can pass the left side of the dark ball. The object bal is not gonna hit a rail but the cue ball will hit a rail and just enough to get behind the dark ball. And keep in mind when your trying to get behind the dark ball. try your best to get the cue ball frozen with the dark ball. =)
|
| Nov 7, 2002 | | u guys must be slow. |
| Nov 6, 2002 | | A soft combo with a little top and you have the 9in the other corner. Seems a little easier to me. |
| Oct 27, 2002 | | ADMIN: Drill updated. |
| Oct 14, 2002 | | ADMIN: We have the instructor reworking this drill. Thanks for all your feedback. |
| Oct 10, 2002 | | i think that shot is too hard for average players i would hit the other side of the object ball sending it past the other ball and make it follow so the cue ball would hide behind the dark ball
|
| Sep 24, 2002 | | I've been trying this drill out. You have to just barely touch the first object ball for this to work. At the same time, use extreme right hand english. My advice to the instructor who wrote this is to make a video and put it up for us to see it in action. |
| Aug 21, 2002 | | HOW ? |
| Aug 21, 2002 | | Hey guys, show the pool table, numbered
balls the draw and
the cue aim. NOW what< (the mechantics) |
| Aug 21, 2002 | | Not helping this 1st time player. In other words, HOW does the ACTION srart, how??
|
| Aug 21, 2002 | | I'm standing py the table. what do I do to; aimdraw back and hit the ball? the cue stik, |
| Jul 18, 2002 | | that`s to hard |
| Jun 12, 2002 | | Combo's are risky...practice this one, it comes up almost all the time. Also, it puts you in a good position to get a second foul, perhaps leading to a thrid and a win. If nothing else, table control is what it is all about. Most people when they get to a certain level can pot just about anything, but not everyone can play a good safety game. Practice this safety, it comes up ALL the time. |
| Mar 13, 2002 | | This saftey requires so much skill, it's almost just easier to play the combo here. First, you have to be able to judge the deflection, amount of english, and angle of the cue ball coming off of the 1. Second, if your speed is a little off either way, you've just shot yourself in the foot! But, I can definitely see the advantage in being able to consistently hit a shot like this, though I doubt it happens too much outside of the professional level. I'd just shoot this combo, or thin the one and play a distance saftey, leaving the combo for my opponent. :) |

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. |
