Here we have three variations of covers at ‘top of the table’ when the cue ball is in hand.
Shot 1: Played at a 7/8 contact hitting the cue ball just above centre pushing the red onto the white for the cue all to then cannon the white as it returns off the top cushion.
Shot 2: A double kiss cannon played a fraction off full ball (15/16) hitting cue ball slightly below centre so it double kisses the white and cannons the red.
Shot 3: A cushion first cannon played with heavy side spin so that cue ball leaves the top cushion to catch the white 1/4 ball so it then picks up the red.
