| We don't have anywhere near the time and space here that would be
necessary to do that question justice. Hoppe's "Billiards As It Should Be
Played" isn't a bad starting place to learn; Eddie Robin's "Winning
One-Pocket" is much better, because it ties the system(s) to pool instead of
billiards. Briefly, the diamonds on the rails are assigned one set of values for the
object ball, another for the cue ball. You determine the object ball's numerical position
according to the diamonds, subtract that number from the CUE ball's numerical position,
and that yields the diamond you want to aim at on the first rail contacted. But this is
the wrong forum for your question. Consult either of the two above books, or take a lesson
or two; either approach will answer your question much better. |
