I'm having trouble with the following shot, and hope there might be some sound advice in A-Z land. Visualize this; You're standing at the head of the table. CB is approximately on the headstring one diamond from the right long rail. OB is frozen on the foot rail two diamonds from the left corner pocket. I was always taught to use about two tips inside, and aim to miss the OB by just a hair to gently roll it in the left corner. CB's spin catches the OB on the rebound and rolls it smoothly along the cushion. Works great for me for cross-table for a ball frozen on a long rail, but the squirt on a near table-length shot with a standard maple shaft makes it damn difficult to execute consistently. I can execute it repeatedly with some practice, but I think it's because I can miss and adjust until I get it right. Any better ideas out there? Thanks for the help.
