B. Ball 1, 25½ in. from cushion 2, and 10 in. from the top cushion.
Ball 2, touching the top cushion and 12 in. from the right top pocket. Play a gentle No. 1, which will leave ball 1 about 7 in. from cushion 2 and 14 in. from the top cushion.
In this stroke ball 2 and the cushion are simultaneously struck, as will be apparent if ball 1 be placed against ball 2 at the proper point of impact; hence a very common rule is to direct the player to aim between ball and cushion. The general rule however for finding the point of impact holds good, and the fact that under the circumstances the cushion is struck at the same time as the ball is merely a coincidence.
Instead of Long Rest
C. Ball 1, 3 in. from the left side cushion, and 9 in. from the left top pocket.
A Disputed Score.
