Kicking
With the advent of jump cues, kicking, which is hitting a cushion with the cue ball before it hits the object ball, doesn’t always get as much attention as it deserves from amateur players. Kicking is still a huge part of the defensive arsenal and makes it possible to turn the tables on your opponent, get out of sticky situations, and ultimately win games.
The better a player gets at kicking the more a kicks changes from blind swinging at the cue ball hoping for a hit, to strategic kicking aiming to hit a particular piece of the object ball resulting in an optimal outcome.
