Lindrum Cannon.
Red and Yellow are touching, cue ball is a half-ball width away from the cushion and
one ball width from the Yellow. Play thin on the Yellow with a touch of left hand side -
cue ball should meet the red just above the middle pocket.

Cueing Aid 1.
A good cueing practice is to place two red balls as shown with the cue ball - by cueing
through the reds to pot the black you will see if your cue is going straight through. If
your cue touches one of the reds then your cue is straying to that side.
|
|
 |
Cueing Aid 2.
Another good cueing practice is using a 'spot' ball from an old set of billiard balls.
Place the spots to the extreme left and extreme right of the cue ball, pot the black and
stop the white dead - if the spots are no longer where they were, you did not strike the
cue ball dead centre.

Using The Butt.
To avoid reaching for the 'long stuff' the player turns his cue around to hit with the
butt, using the flat of the cue for stability.
Fair or Foul?
