Reading the numbers

Start On the short rail the cue ball leaves from: 40 in one corner down to 0 in the other, 10 a diamond.

Aim On the first cushion, the opposite short rail: 40 at the middle diamond, 20 at the next, 0 in the corner — 20 a diamond.

Arrival Back on the start's short rail, on the same scale as the start: where the ball must come back to make the carom.

Step by step

  1. Read the start where the cue ball's line after the red runs back to its own short rail.
  2. Choose the arrival on that same rail.
  3. Aim = Start − 1.5 × Arrival: 36 − 1.5 × 14 = 15.
  4. Add the table correction and aim through the diamond on the far short rail.

The stroke

No side at all, level cue, slight follow, medium speed. This is Tuzul's no-side branch: the ball goes short rail, long rail, short rail down the length of the table.
