Soft English Across

Hit the cue ball here

Dead center

Red dot shows where your tip should contact the cue ball.

Rack

Cue ball: 3 diamonds off the head rail, 1.5 diamonds off the right rail
Object ball: On the right rail, ½ a diamond from the TR corner pocket
Target: Top-right corner pocket

Hit it

Very little english — no more than one-eighth of a tip. Soft stun pace; the english widens the tangent line just enough to send the CB cleanly across.

Tip: Calibrate the 1/8-tip mark — most players use far too much spin here

Avoid: Too much english — CB throws the OB or swerves off line
