Been busy getting out the NEW booklet, but, Here are a couple of sample shots from my exhibitions to test the players stroke, accuracy and speed.
The first example is an "Extreme English Full Ball Spin Back Shot", the player needs to hit the object 90% full with extreme 3 O'clock English, note: (on a NEW cloth the player may heed to use extreme 3:30 English). The stroke used for this example needs to be slow with an over emphasized follow-thru. The cue ball must move slowly to have time to curve slightly on the bed cloth with extreme spin as it travels to the short cushion.
The second example is an "Extreme Thin Ball Opposite Corner Draw Shot", the example in the diagram shows a difficult position score a point and play position. The player can't play, short, long, long off the left side of the white because of a kiss. So I came up with this solution, the 1st ball needs to hit extremely thin in order to beat the kiss, along with applying extreme 6 O'clock English on the cue ball, this will cause the cue ball to take the draw effect not off the 1st cushion, but, on the bed of the cloth about half way to the scoring ball. The stroke needs to be soft and slow to play position and get the proper effect on the cue ball.
These examples will help the player with timing, tempo, accuracy, stroke and speed when using extreme effect on the cue ball.
