Billiards plus7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Running English is English that helps the cue ball speed up as it hits the rails. One important factor to keep in mind for this system is that it requires the use of running English. This means you should aim for the spot on the short rail that equals 3. ![]() For example, if the cue ball is on the second diamond on the long rail and the object ball is on the 5th diamond on the long rail the two balls are 3 diamonds away from each other. Once you’ve mentally mapped the numbers on the short rail simply measure how many diamonds away the object ball is from the cue ball on the long rail and aim for the number on the short rail that equals that number. ![]() In the example below, you can see how you would number the rails in your head when using this system. The diamonds on the short rail are numbered 1 through 7 increasing by one for every half diamond. Here’s the set up of how to visualize the numbers on the table. With simple subtraction you can take the numbers from the diamonds to find the exact spot on the table you need to kick at to hit your target. The two plus system uses the diamonds on the table as markers where each diamond has a numerical value to it. A system that works great for two rail kicks out of the short rail is the two plus kicking system. Even though two rail kicks are sometimes more difficult, with the right tools a two rail kick can be as easy as a one rail kick. Occasionally during games, the cue ball will end up safe in a place that doesn’t allow for a one rail kick so a two rail kick is the only option.
