Here’s how to spot the cue ball for centre line long losers.
I feel it would help as spotting the cue ball incorrectly will almost certainly end with a missed shot.

These graphics should give players a simple guide for spotting the cue ball for long losers.
I hear the phrase ‘I’m struggling to see the half ball angle’ a lot from players when playing and coaching.
This is for those players.
When you’re in hand and the object ball is on the white line you need to spot where the white ball is shown in the ‘D’.
The same rule applies for the red and yellow lines and balls.
If the object ball is sat between the coloured lines you adjust the spotting of the cue ball accordingly in the ‘D’.
There are three graphics, one for each pocket and one with those two overlayed.
I’ve done these Free Of Charge in the hope it will help players develop their understanding and skills of our beautiful game.
