One of the first questions being asked by pool beginners is how to shoot frozen ball to the rail. It is relatively easy to answer if you know how to consider two important things on pool game namely angle of approach and the use of English. If you have a sharper angle approach, it is more difficult to make an accurate shot. To make it clearer, take the straight shot as having a large target that goes smaller as you shot angles out. Aside from this, the distance of the target ball to the pocket also contributes to the difficulty of the shot. The running English is also important because it can make a straight shot by having contact to the rail and object ball precisely at the same time or ahead with the cue ball. The answer to this problem is more practice. So can you share your experience with this particular shot?
