Summary
| Description |
English: Billiards: spot strokes. It is as well to know within what limits the spot stroke can be played. Suppose we draw a line, X Y through the spot S, parallel with the top cushion. If the striker's ball is within this line or nearer to the top cushion, it is no use putting in the red gently, as position would be lost. The only plan to recover position is to play all round the table. Suppose the striker's ball is within the line at A, he now plays to put the red ball in the right-hand top pocket and recover position by going right round the table till his ball stops at B. |
