Cue ball positioning is your key to get that next shot perfect. It’s all about setting up a plan until you get it all right on the pocket. Or, on the other hand, make it a tricky shot for the opponent.
Positioning of the cue ball depends on the strength of the shot, the cue ball spin whether it’s on top or base or combined with side. This affects the travel and the angle to which the cue ball will be positioned.
Tips:
Back spin – Back spin is used to stop or reverse the cue ball after impact.
Top spin – Using top spin causes the cue ball to spin faster in the direction of travel. These results in the cue ball moving further than it would naturally, following impact with a cushion or object ball.
Now remember, the cue ball position is your key to that next shot. Take your time standing, thinking, planning and making sure that that cue ball is right where you need it.
