Useful for getting out of trouble when your opponent's balls are in the way or when you do not have a direct shot. The cue ball contacts the object ball, causing it to bounce off the cushion and into a pocket. First, determine the distance between the object ball and the desired pocket. Cut that distance in half to find the bank point where you should bounce the object ball off the rail. Why this point? Because the angle that a ball comes into the rail is also the angle that it leaves the rail. Use the cue stick as a guide to help you sight the path that the object ball needs to take and find the bank point. Once you have the bank point, use the cue ball to strike the object ball so that it banks off exactly at that point and heads for the pocket.
