Pool and Billiards – Short Rail Kicking by the Numbers

by Greg on June 14, 2010

Here is a short rail kicking system.   The cue ball is next to the rail on the long rail and you want to kick to the object ball along the short rail.  The object ball location numbers are number from 2 to 5.  Each diamond on the long rail is numbered for the cue ball.  In this diagram the cue ball on the right is at the the 3. So if you wnat to pocket the ball in the corner pocket multilply 3 times 5 to get your aiming number (15) on the opposite side.  Just aim the cue ball at 15 with no english and pocket the ball in the corner pocket. There is a mistake on the left cue ball the literal there should be 7 x 3 instead of the 7 x 5.  Aim the cue ball at 21 from the 7 diamond and hit the ball at object ball position number 3.  This system works so get out there and practice.  You can use this pool traiing aid in the heat of battle.

You need to fix the graphic. It should read 7 x 3 = 21

When the cue ball isn’t on the long rail you could use a tool like the Kick Butt Kick Sheet
