On the diagram I left you with last week, I would first knock the red that lies in front of the cue-ball In-off the red lying over the middle left-hand pocket. The white ball would stop on the spot marked XI.

My next stroke would be to pot the black into the top right- hand corner pocket. The cue ball should be struck high to come off the top cushion to travel up the table in order to gain position on the red for the middle right-hand pocket, X2.
