An easy shot with many variations of thickness and spin all leading to the corner. This is the primary pattern in three cushion, played with running side.
An easy shot with many variations of thickness and spin all leading to success. Once you can judge the cushion angle then you can vary spin and speed for position play.
The ball will naturally head for the corner, so learn how to make it go long by hitting fuller ball or thinner.
A very important pattern, a supposedly easy shot, but watch out to avoid the cue ball curving after the first cushion if hit too hard.
Finding the right amount of backspin takes some practice, when you get the feel for this shot it becomes more forgiving.
Can be an easy shot when it is at max spin, practice how much spin you need depending on the angle of attack.
Half ball, medium pace and not too much spin, you will get good at this in no time, but it takes some patience to learn a repeatable setup.
All players love this shot, all players will have made this shot, but if you want to make it reliable you will need to learn a system.

Best played with pure topspin, the final cushion will pick up side from the trajectory.
An easy shot if you can avoid the kiss. Often in three cushion it is easier to find a five cushion solution.
Taken from a Korean system video, speed is all important here, slower makes it longer.
Sometimes it is easier to hit a fuller ball with more spin to create more angle on the final cushion.
Lots of top spin and the cue ball will hug the rail
Force the cue ball onto the natural line with draw
This frequently occurring shot is very sensitive to aim. Ideally you want to hit the long cushion perpendicularly and allow the spin to hold to the third cushion. When aiming pick a target on the third cushion with a big angle into the target ball.
For shallow angles top spin will make it more reliable.
A very difficult starting position, this shot is hard to judge but nice when you do
An easy shot with many variations of thickness and spin all leading to the corner. Try to get the red into the opposite corner to improve positional chances for the next shot. (positional bonus)
Half ball, medium pace and not too much spin, you will get good at this in no time, but it takes some time to learn the setup. Try to get the red around to the same side of the table as the yellow for perfect position.
