Adjusting Away

From practicing your 24 the next step is "Adjusting Away" When the cue ball is away from the Standard Shot Line the distance is cut in half. Example being the cue ball is at your spot to make a 3rd gear shot in the corner. So that puts the cue ball 2 dots way from the 1st gear SSL.The adjustment would be 1/2 so you are aiming at 1 dot away from the SSL with 1st gear.

3rd gear is limited going away from it's SSL. But 1st and 2nd gears you can go away a lot.

So far all the shots from 24 have been what I call Hurry-Up. Put the cue ball as if you were shooting a 3rd gear shot and the object ball is to your right in the corner. That puts the cue ball 2 dots away from it's SSL. Cutting that distance in 1/2 puts you 1 dot away and that is your aim point with 1st gear using right-hand English (Hurry-Up)

When using 1st gear left-hand English (Bring-Back), you can bring it BACK 1 dot. From the same position, you are 3 dots away but now your adjustment is to go back 2 dots. Works for 2nd gear also. Here the cue ball is line with side pockets. but remember you are bringing back 2 dots, so you have to go back 3 dots with 2nd gear. Lester
