Snookers

If you draw a line between the cue ball and the ball you want to hit, then find the middle point between these two balls. Draw a line from that point to the corner pocket, then play parallel to that line. That gives you your line 1

Is that right? I will try it next time I'm in.

Sorry mate yes. It's meant for the 2 cushion escape. I don't know how to do a diagram

just about to say the same, when I get home I'll pull up the original image I made for the start of this thread

Does this work on any 2 cushion escape then?

[Shockerz]

Do you mean like this?

You have to take care when the bouncing points are near the jaws and when you have wide angles because of slide in the cushion.

That's it mate cheers

yep that is how I saw it
will try this next time at the table

Don't forget to report back mate....

That's it mate cheers

This might be ridiculous but if you extend the red line right up to the where it contacts the green side cush, will this give you a kind of reflective position on the cush you need to hit. So instead of trying to work out parallel, extend the line ,say it's 14 inches up the cush and that's where you hit on the other cush, or am I just making this up?

It does appear to do so on this diagram. Might be worth playing about with. You might be on to something here mate

Yes it would be but personally i think it's just easier to use your brain to work it out, because as previously said cushions can cause cue ball to slide anyway etc

I tried it tonight and personally found it harder, for me that is.

I became a bit hooked up on drawing a line from the middle, then stepping over to the cue ball and making it work which it didn't because it slid a little and I'm sure I didn't quite get it right.

I've probably got too many years of just imagining a parallelogram which generally works for me (in reality I image a rectangle).
