Playing shots with white tight to the cushion

Post by Phil_Morecambe »

Hi guys,

I struggle with getting pots when playing the white when it is tight on the cushion. Any chance of a tutorial explaining how the shot can be played with accuracy?

Regards
Phil

Hi Phil,

I'm not good enough to give suggestions on that shot, all I can say is that if you find yourself in that position during a break, it usually means the previous shot or shots were poor. If the previous shot was taken by the opponent and you are forced to shoot from the cushion, the opponent has made a decent safety shot!

I agree with your comment but there must be a tip or two somewhere in this game.

Sure, but only hot players can come with them. I sense the word "side" coming... :)

Hi Phil,

I think the theme here might be not to get yourself in that position to start with. On a real table we know it's not where you want to be and here is similar. May I suggest you watch my video which you must have multiple copies of by now for how to get out of a bad pos shot ;) There is no instruction set it is a mindset and frequently works for me if only I could find a way to share it hehe.
Suggestions maybe raise the cue a bit but not too much or you'll end up hitting a swerve instead of being accurate. But the word here seems to be good luck pal get yourself out of the mire you created ;)
