Long angle
The cue ball clips the front of a far 1st ball near a short cushion, then swings wide: short cushion → long cushion → long diagonal → long cushion, back to the 2nd ball on the cue-ball side.
Path: 1st ball → short cushion → long cushion → long cushion → 2nd ball
Scores in both three-cushion (yellow is the 2nd ball) and four-ball.
- Hit the 1st ball thin, at 1/4 ball, so the cue ball keeps its speed, passes in front of the 1st ball and goes into the short cushion.
- Add running spin (2 tips left). The angle from the short cushion to the long cushion lengthens and the ball crosses the table diagonally.
- It is a long path, so you need about power 5.5. Hit too full and the first cushion point moves toward the cue ball, and the shot comes up short.
Suggested: 2 tips left · power 5.5 · Left 1/4 ball
