ARE AGAINST THE CUSHION
By Horace Lindrum
(World Professional Snooker Champlon)
On the basis that Snooker can be made ensfor with ~a little thoughtful planning, I will proceed to deal with. the diagram last week.
Chief problems are the Red on'

be forced into the open.
Addressing the cus-ball; very: low and with shortened grip on the butt of the cue, I would take the Red near to the cus-ball and it into the Bottom right- band corner pocket.
But in doing, this I would see that the White ball screws on to the Red resting on the cushion with the express purpose of knocking it over the right-hand middle pocket.
Assuming my first stroke had been successful, my next shot will be to take the Pink from the White off the bottom cushion position marked 1, and drive
for a favourable position (X2) on the Red over
the right-hand' middle pocket.
now dribble
the easy Red and bring the cue-ball off the top right-hand, side cushion for position on the Blue or Black.
LEFT-HAND SIDE
Assuming my cue-ball came to rest at about position X9, I would choose the Blue.in order to got it back on its own spot. I would play the cue-ball with plenty

of left-hand side so that after. making contact with the top. cushion, it careers across to the top left-hand side cushion and comes to rest in position marked X4 for the Red over the right- hand middle pocket.
My plan-at-this stage--know- ing that the Pink and Black balis are on their own spots--would be to pot the Red into the right- band middle pocket leaving the cue-ball in position (X5) for à pot on the Blue Into, the loft- hand middle pocket.
Playing the Blue gently would bring me to position X6 for the remaining Red to be taken into the left-hand middle pocket.

The arrived.
la potting
the Red I must leave myself in a position not only for getting a colour but also for getting the Green away, from the left-hand side cushion at the same stroke. To do this I have to take a bold line, by leaving position on the Blue- for my purpose.
I pot the Red to leave cue- ball at position XT and from here my course is to force the Blue Into the right-hand middle pocket with plenty of left-hand side to bring the cua-ball, off the top right-hand side cushion on to the top cushion to contact the Green and leave perfect position (X6) on the Yellow,
The Green would now have been knocked over the left-hand middle pocket.
From K8 I play the Yellow with suficient strength to dribble middle right-hand

in position marked X9 to get the correct angle on the. Green.
The Green is played with plenty of left-hand side to bring me close up to the Brown at position X10. A little right-hand kide to pot the Brown brings my bail across the table for the Blue to position,XIL... From hére I pot the Blua gently, into the left hand middle pocket with enough speed on my cus-ball to leave md in a perfect posion (X12) on the Pink
The Pink is a reasonably. simple pot into the top right hand corner pocket And if the cue-ball is struck on top, with
a good tue delivery, a perfect position (X13) should result for potting the Black into the top left-hand corner pocket.
