Blows in the billiards - "Russian pyramid"

Billiards is an imposing and highly intellectual game. To win the billiards you need an excerpt, a sharp eye, a firm hand, knowledge of geometry and physics. If you have all these skills, then for a confident game you need to master the correct strikes in the billiards. Below in the article we will tell you about the main types of strikes that will help you win the Russian billiards.

The main rule

Regardless of how long you play billiards, applying this rule to practice will help you in the game. Your movements during the kick by the ball on the ball should be as smooth as possible. Not sharp and jerky, namely calm and smooth.

The speed of the hand holding the cue must be constant from the beginning of the movement until the moment of contact of the cue sticker with the jam. This rule allows you to strike the cue on the ball in exactly the right place, which will allow you to set the cue ball (the ball that you hit with the thin end of the cue with the sticker) the required trajectory of movement.

The more smoothly you accelerate the cue, the more accurately you will get a punch. If before you touch the cue and cue ball you will slightly loosen the hand holding the cue, you will create the ideal conditions under which the cue ball will receive a resilient impact, weighted by the weight of the cue, not your hand. This technique of striking in billiards is considered the most correct and accurate.

In addition to the right blow to the cue ball, you must know and observe the rules of the game. A normal amateur game takes place without the participation of a judge, so compliance with the rules will become your common with the partner in the game care. You can not count on the audience present at your game, because they can make subjective judgments for various reasons. Ignorance of the rules will turn your party into a pool just in a series of meaningless hits on the balls, which very soon bores you, and the game itself can disappoint. Regardless of whether you play badly or well, the rules of the game should be known to you.

Initial strike ("Robbery" or "Breakdown")

This is the first blow in Russian billiards, when the pyramid breaks down. It can be tricky, especially for beginners.

One of the following requirements must be met when striking:

• One or more balls were clogged;
• At least three balls from the pyramid must touch the sides of the table;
• Two balls touched the sides of the table and at least one of the balls crossed the center line of the table.

If you do not fulfill one of these conditions, you will be fined, and the first ball you scored will not be counted.

Impact breakdown

In billiards, an unsuccessful blow carries a biting name - kicks, who came to this aristocratic game from music. There, this term denotes a voice failure.

In billiards, a greased blow to his ball does not bode well for the player. With some varieties of the Russian "pyramid" for such an oversight in the game is fine - the player puts on the table one of the earlier hammered balls.

"Prophet"

This kind of blow in billiards in all varieties of Russian billiards entails the imposition of a fine. When you continue to hit after the moving cue ball until you contact it with the aiming ball, you will definitely earn a fine. You can not allow simultaneous contact of the end of the cue (sticker), cue ball and sighting ball. If you score with a "prophet" ball in the pocket, it will not be counted and you still have to put one of your lucky ball.

Double punch

Repeated strikes in billiards, following one after another on the cue ball, are prohibited and are also punished with penalty points. Remember once and for all - in billiards it is allowed only once touching the sticker of cue and cue ball during the execution of the blow.

"Drawn", "roll" and other

The so-called strikes in billiards, put not in the center of the cue ball, but below or above it. As a result of this technique of striking, the cue ball is retracted after striking the target ball. In the case of rolling, the cue ball continues its movement forward after contact with the other ball. Such attacks allow you to put the balls on the field in accordance with the desire of the player.

"Masse" - a blow with a strong rotation, giving the cue the trajectory of movement along the arc. With its help, an experienced player can score a ball, a direct blow to which does not guarantee getting into the pocket. To perform such a blow, the player must have an excellent eye and a great experience in playing billiards.

A person who has recently taken a cue or playing this game from time to time, such difficult (in technical performance), it is almost impossible to carry out the blows. However, if you are a beginner, this does not mean that you should give up trying to carry out such a blow during the game. Beginners are usually lucky, and to learn how to score such complex balls, even billiards virtuosos had to play more than one hundred parties.

Jump, brother-in-law and effe

To overcome the obstacle in the form of a ball standing between the beat and the aiming ball, an experienced player can perform a "jump" - a blow that causes the cue ball to jump over the table and overcome the masking ball. Such strikes in billiards can be afforded only by experienced players. Beginners usually end up with a ball out of the table.

A blow, in which the player directs a non-aiming ball into the pocket, and the cue ball is called a "brother-in-law". This technique of striking is quite a frequent phenomenon when playing Russian billiards. Unlike the American, in our version of the game for the cue ball pounded in the pocket is not superfluous.

If, on impact, the cue ball moves along a straight line, rotating around its axis, this is an "effe", a twisted blow. Proffessional players in billiards with this technique can give the aim ball a necessary trajectory, different from the movement in a straight line.
