This particular drill we’ll call the Strong Rail Follow because of the effects that you will get from the cue ball once it hits the rail.
This is a combination Practice Drill and Trick Shot; but I will focus on the importance of practicing this particular drill. First of all, if you are a beginner player this is a great shot to practice and master. It will show you that anyone can cause the cue ball to do tricks, with the knowledge. It doesn’t take a great stroke to perform this shot either. The best part is that it does come up in games pretty often. Using a shot like this for positioning or getting in another object ball will definetly get your opponent nervous.
