Billiard Basic - Combinations

A combination is a shot where two or more object balls are hit in sequence to pocket an object ball. To line up a two-ball combination, first figure out the necessary ‘’contact point’’ on the second ball the spot on the ball where you must hit it so that it will shoot into the pocket. Then determine the contact point on the first ball that will cause it to hit the second ball’s contact point. Now aim the cue ball at the first ball’s contact point. For some conditions a combination happen out of our control caused English and our power to strike.
