  • 2001 Bob Jewett
    Bob Jewett Combinations and Throw Some surprising insights into the world of "throw." In my column last April, I covered some of the details of throw. Here are two related and surprising experiments for you to try. As a reminder, a ball is said to be "thrown" when its path is not directly away from the spot where another ball contacts it. This deviation can be due to spin on the cue ball, or simply from the motion of the striking ball across the struck ball on a cut shot. Most beginners will shoot the shot in Diagram 1 wrong. The two object balls are frozen together and pointed about six inches away from the pocket. A novice will attempt to "cut" the second ball by playing to side A of the balls, perhaps expecting the first ball to move to the right before pushing the second ball towards the pocket. Of course, we all know that you have to hit the shot on side B, and let the friction between the balls drag the second ball towards the pocket. But how does the shot change if the balls aren't touching? With some separation, as in Diagram 2, there will be two effects, the throw from the sur- face friction, and the cut because the first ball does move to the side before it hits the second ball. Which effect will dominate? If the balls are separated by a hair's breadth, the shot hasn't changed much and you would expect nearly the same result as for frozen balls.

  • Bob Jewett Making Contact How to Effectively Play a Ball Frozen to the Rail
    Bob Jewett Making Contact How to effectively play a ball frozen to the rail. For a beginner, one of the hardest rules to understand is the requirement to contact a rail. Stated briefly: No-Rail Foul: On a shot that does not pocket a ball, some ball must be driven to a rail after the cue ball contacts an object ball, or the shot is foul. The main reason to have this rule is to avoid repetitive simple safeties. At 14.1 or one-pocket, you can imagine the players repeatedly rolling the cue ball up to the nearly solid rack. At 8-ball and 9-ball, the chance for a full- rack stalemate is less likely, but consider the positions in Diagram 1, which could be from either game. In situation A, if no rail were required, the players could shoot softly to just touch the object ball. With a rail required, a more difficult shot would be needed — perhaps skimming the object ball and spinning the cue ball to the far end rail — and it is likely to leave something for the opponent. In situation B, which was covered here in October 1997, it is easy to get a rail contact. In 14.1 (and apparently no other game), another rule comes into play: when the object ball is within a ball of the cushion, each player is allowed two simple safes on it, after which the object ball is considered frozen to the rail. This brings us to another wrinkle, shot C. When the object ball is frozen to the rail, driving it deeper into the rail doesn't count as a cushion contact.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
