…illustrate the equal angle rebound mirroring the angle into the third rail.

…indicate the reflection of incidence into the third cushion.

For sure... nothing like purposeful practice for the rare and random circumstance you're more likely to never see.

Ah hah! That's why I call it a Fitness program. Needing the reps for Fitness provides the chance to explore.
Nothing like THE feeling in competition. When I am confronted with an extreme delima.....and see that practice shot. Sometimes it even works. I scratch my head and quote Efren, "I got lucky."
Kicks Like A Mule is my way to start the day. Fitness strictly fitness.

I am not a good player by any means, but I am pretty confident to make contact 70% of the time using a massé. That should avoid scratch too.

Which way? Are right or left handed? Does it matter to you?

Inthat asking to get 3 fouled?

Where’s the second foul with BIH from here? Thats the best I could edit it but the 4 and 2 might even end up closer together and/or the rail. A safety that’s not easy to hit the 2 off of?

Thin the 2 lock to the 8, thin the 2 in the other direction 5 balls to land funny on.

Going to left of the pic. So from the shooter perspective, to the right of the blocking ball with a left massé.
I am right handed but the cue ball looks fairly close to the end rail so thats not important I think.
And to answer your last question, yes it does matter to me: if you ask me too shot this massé left handed, i am going from 70% chance to make contact to 70% risk to put a hole in the felt

Your post cracked me up . "I suck, but I'm a big favorite to masse around it..."

I don't know what to say, I think i am honest there.
But what I know is I left the jump cue at home now and I have a massé cue in the bag when i am going to the pool room.

Can happen. Fear and loathing in the world class.

It looks like you have room to hit the side rail below the side pocket on the right side of the picture, catch the end rail land try to make the 2-ball in the other side pocket. If I thought my kicking was great that day, I might kick one rail and hope to get safe behind the 5-ball.
