Object balls: In the Korean version, a player is penalized a point if the cue ball caroms off the opponent's cue ball. From this data, we noticed a trend that as the angle we aimed at the cue ball great larger, the difference in angle of separation seemed to be getting smaller for soft shots. These results were greater than when we hit the ball with no spin, but as in the other set of data, the resulting angles were getting lower as the angle we aimed at the object ball increased. POOL

These angles were less than from when we hit the cue ball with no spin, which is not what we were expecting. These results were very comparable to when we hit the cue ball with no spin at this angle. Understanding how to control the cue ball is essential; practicing spin techniques will give you more options during play. A comparatively small number still adhere to the once universal "side stroke," in which the player faces more or less at right angles to the line of aim, and strikes the ball very much like a golfer, with his hands close together on the mallet shaft. 3 to 31/2 ℔ or even more, does the work by itself, and the nearer the stroke is to a simple swing, like that of a pendulum, the more likely it is to be accurate. 33/8 or 31/2 in.

The tactics of croquet are in this respect similar to those of billiards, that the player tries to make what progress he can during his own break, and to leave the balls "safe" at the end of it; he must also keep in mind the needs of the other ball of his side by leaving his own ball, or the last player’s ball, or both, within easy roqueting distance or in useful positions, and that of the next player isolated. Celluloid was used to make the so-called composition balls which used a denser substance in their cores to achieve the correct density. This rule states that when the cue ball strikes an object ball with no topspin or bottom spin, the two balls seperate at a 90 degree angle. To test this rule, we hit the object ball with a half hit, one quarter hit, and three quarter hit, 4 ball billiards then determined the angle at which the cue ball deflected from its aiming line.

It shows what the maximum and minumum cut angles should be for the half, quarter, and three quarter hits. Next we did a three quarter ball hit with a slow stroke. We hit the cue ball with a soft stroke. 5 The red ball must be first struck, and the remainder of the balls arc played up to the holes the sum total of the holes made being the striker s score. In the Irish Cannon Game the holes do not count, except by way of penalty ; all points made by holing the balls being added to the score of the adver sary. The jump-shot is, however, very bad for the lawn, and in 1907 a further provision was made by which the player whose ball is left "wired" from all the other balls by the stroke of an opponent may lift it and play from the "baulk" area. The chief skill in the game perhaps consists in playing the stroke called "taking croquet" (but see below on the "rush"). The hoops are run in the order marked on the diagram, so that the game consists of 36 points. Skirted players, of course, are unable to use the Irish stroke; and, as one of the most meritorious features of croquet is that it is the only out-of-door game in which men and women can compete on terms of real equality, this has been put forward as a reason for barring it, if it is actually an advantage.
