Beyond the introduction of the spider line it is unnecessary to mention the various steps by which the Gascoigne micrometer assumed the modern forms now in use, or to describe in detail the suggestions of Hooke, 4 Wren, Smeaton, Cassini, Bradley, Maskelyne, Herschel, Arago, Pearson, Bessel, Struve, Dawes, &c., or the successive productions of the great artists Ramsden, Troughton, Fraunhofer, Ertel, Simms, Cooke, Grubb, Clarke and Repsold.
It depends if you're going for a long shot with power or a short shot with power. I'm going to assume you're going for the long shots. Take about 5 steps back at a 7 o clock aâ¦ngle to the ball. Take 3 quick, tiny steps then take a really fast run up.
To make the shot, the cue tip must be in very good shape and well chalked, then the cue is elevated at more than 45 degrees, and up to 90 degrees-the cue is brought down sharply to the side of the ball where the rotation is needed. Much practice is needed to get used to the awkward bridge hand for a masse shot.
