Now let’s talk about where you must hit the object ball to pocket it.
The first thing you have to do is to pass a line through the center of the pocket and through the center of the object ball and place a ghost ball where it should be hit and put another imaginary line, this will help you where the cue ball should hit the object ball to pocket it.
In this example we pass another line in the center of the pocket and on the object ball, we put our ghost ball again, pass another line where the cue ball must hit and execute.
When we visualize a line with the ghost ball, always keep in mind that it must be in the center of the pocket because if it is to one side we can miss the shot.
This is very important because when you hit the center of the pocket and the ball opens up a little, you will still pocket the ball.
