  • 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.

  • Deep Pockets Super Pro Pool & Billiards
    Intellivision® Intelligent Television GAME INSTRUCTIONS (For 1 or 2 players) Deep Pockets Super Pro Pool & Billiards Deep Pockets is a unique pool and billiards game – it is actually NINE games in one. You can learn many pocket billiard (pool) and carom billiard games in the privacy and comfort of your own home – and brush up on rules and strategy before venturing out to a billiard parlor. Play against a friend, or practice “against yourself.” In 1-player games, you control both players 1 and 2. Player 1 will see prompts and scores in RED, and player 2 will see BLUE. A couple of hints: Use FOLLOW (described below) on break shots to scatter the balls. Also, most of the time you only need to hit shots with about medium strength; use hard shots for long distance shots. 1 GAME CONTROLS ENTER: cycle FORWARDS through prompts, register selections CLEAR: cycle BACKWARDS through prompts SIDE BUTTONS: when in SHOOT mode, shoots the cue ball DISC: move menu highlighting, move cue ball, move aiming “X”, move “spin/English” marker If you forget to make a selection, pressing CLEAR will take you back one step for each press of the CLEAR key. On-screen prompts: Deep Pockets coaches you through each step prior to actually shooting your shot. The following are the prompts you may see and what to do: MOVE CUE BALL You will see this prompt prior to the opening break shot and after any scratch or illegal shot. Each game has different rules regarding where you may place the cue ball; some games allow you to place the cue ball anywhere on the table, while other games require that the cue ball be placed behind the “HEADSTRING,” or imaginary line across the table at the “HEADSPOT.” You move the cue ball by pressing the DISC in the direction you want the ball to move.

  • Carom Billiards?
    What is Carom Billiards? Carom billiards, sometimes called carambole billiards, is the overarching title of a family of cue sports generally played on cloth-covered, pocketless billiard tables. In its simplest form, the object of the game is to score points or "counts" by caroming one's own cue ball off both the opponent's cue ball and the object ball on a single shot. There is a large array of carom billiards disciplines. Some of the more prevalent today and historically are (chronologically by apparent date of development): straight rail, cushion caroms, balkline, three- cushion billiards and artistic billiards. Straight Rail: The object of straight rail is simple: one point, called a "count", is scored each time a player's cue ball makes contact with both object balls (the second cue ball and the third ball) on a single stroke. A win is achieved by reaching an agreed upon number of counts. Balkline: The game employed diagonal lines at the table's corners to regions where counts were restricted. Ultimately, however, despite its divergence from straight rail, the champion's game simply expanded the dimensions of the balk space defined under the existing crotch prohibition which was not sufficient to stop nursing. In the balkline games, the entire table is divided into rectangular balk spaces, by drawing pairs of balklines lengthwise and width wise across the table parallel from each rail. This divides the table into nine rectangular balkspaces. Such balk spaces define areas of the table surface in which a player may only score up to a threshold number of points while the object balls are within that region.

In particular, it aims to make clearer and of practical value the methods of modern experts in " system " play. It considers shots in their serial relation rather than as indi- vidual strokes, and lays stress not so much on the shot to GET the balls together as the shots to KEEP them together. It is dedicated to the amateur billiard players of America; and should it attain, even in small degree, the objects intended, it will be sufficient recompense for the years of study and work involved in its preparation.
