Do you mean like this?

Does this work on any 2 cushion escape then?

I'll have a look at doing one a little later mate. Cheers

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

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

Got it now; you are talking about the snooker on the first page!

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.

I don't get it either

I may be acting a bit thick here, didn't get that one; probably just the way i'm reading it!

Getting out of snookers is without doubt the worst part of my game.

I'm an old codger who can only put together breaks of 20 to 30 mostly, with a very infrequent 40 or so happening once in a Blue moon!

What I would like to do is become more proficient at getting out of snookers, it is this part of my game that I'm really not that good at. can any of you chaps point me in the direction of some good videos that I could have a look at on this very cold, frosty and foggy morning please?

Thank you.

If you are struggling with easy snookers as well then this is a simple method I was told years ago.

If the escape route is one cushion. Then it is also best to look at hitting the white ball with the object ball as the point is the same especially if the white ball is closer to the cushion it can be much easier to calculate the point of the cushion which cue ball needs to hit. It is important to get right behind the object ball and find the spot on the cushion, keep your eyes on that spot then go to the white ball and hit that spot on the cushion.

other trouble with this kind of shots is speed.
you play it abit harder, not to mention sumtimes CB bouncing off the coshion harder than expected ,, then you gonna leave an easy start for your opponent. even pros have sum trouble with this part ( sometimes ).

After a chat at the club last night thought I would add, that is the Angle in is shallow to the cushion you can get cue ball sliding a bit instead of nicely bouncing off. I was in this type of situation last night and I reminded myself to add to this thread.

Never thought about it like that before. Thank you
