To get consistent results, you MUST dial in the cue ball contact point to match the left, center, and right patterns. For a 12:00 stroke, shoot straight cross side until the cue ball goes perfectly back and forth (every time - yes, that means you need to dial this in every day you come to the table). To identify the precise 10:30 cue ball contact point, practice the shot until the cue ball comes back exactly 1-1/2 diamonds to your left side. For 1:30, you want to return the cue ball 1-1/2 diamonds to your right side. Practice this with a range of medium speeds to ensure you have a trustworthy stroke.
Note: On a 8 or 7-foot table, you may have to make some clock adjustments (i.e., for 1:30, go to 2:00 or 3:00 to dial in the 1-1/2 diamond return).
Scan through the sets to find interesting patterns. Print out those sets and practice them until you have decent control. Then just patiently wait for the opportunity to gain additional respect from your opponents. Some recommendations are the Z banks and some of the 4 rail patterns.
There are many times you will have to kick to make a legal shot. When you have been less than successful, page through those sets with a similar starting position, and page through the patterns around the table edge. When you find a path that travels through the object ball position, print those out (select B&W, small). On the practice table, shoot them until you are consistent.
If you are a serious student of the Green Game, this book will expand your knowledge and choice of table options. Within these patterns are reality of stroke speed, distance, combined with table wear on the cue ball paths. This knowledge will provide an incalculable advantage over your challengers.
