Training program

Type and target: As a variation, all 4 different speeds should be played through one after the other!

Basic rules: the table can be divided into four lengthwise sections, marked off by the diamonds and the long outside rail. Each ball must be placed on the head line within their lengthways diamond sections! They do not have to come to rest within their diamond segment but must start there. If you look at the diagram (t006), ball 1 is in the top segment, 2 in the segment below, then 3, then 4. Hitting other ball(s) and the long cushion are not permitted.

Ball 1 is played with Speed 1 (with a tolerance of 2x2 diamonds, as mentioned above). It doesn‘t matter if the bottom rail is touched or not. Ball 2 is played with Speed 2, Ball 3 with Speed 3 and Ball 4, of course, with Speed 4! When you have played through these balls, count how many of the four speeds you managed (all 4, 3, 2 or only 1!). If you have one of the official training manuals you can enter the score in the first field of the score sheet or on a squared pad of paper.
