Unfamiliar Table

I drew up a shot this morning that I'll make sure I try on a first-time-for-me table from now on. The shot was kicking back to a carom. You have to hit the object ball where it will drive it to your pocket. After I found the point that was halfway between the object ball and cue ball, I started with running English--too much

I found the spot on the cue ball. In this case it was a half tip amount of running English. When I practice on the new table, that's where I'll start. If it's a miss, I'll use one of my subtleties on the 2nd Chance Kick.  Lester
