Rail-first

When a 1st ball frozen to the cushion is hard to hit directly, bank off the cushion first, catch the 1st ball and then the 2nd.

Path: long cushion → 1st ball → 2nd ball

Four-ball only (fewer than 3 cushions before the 2nd ball).

1. Aim at the long cushion just in front of the 1st ball. The cue ball comes off the cushion and catches the 1st ball.
2. With no spin, the angle in equals the angle out, so it is easy to aim. The closer together the 1st and 2nd balls are, the better your chances.
3. Use the aim ◀ ▶ buttons to move 0.25° at a time and find where the predicted path catches the 1st ball.

Suggested: center ball, no spin · power 4.5
