Start 3, Arrival 2.5 → Aim = 3 × 2.5 = 7.5. No spin, high hit.

Two-cushions-then-ball shots from the bricole (antes banda) game: the cue ball first goes to two cushions, then reaches ball 2. The system has two variants: aim on the short cushion and aim on the long cushion. The formula is the same in both; only the numbering differs.

When? When you need to send the cue ball to two cushions first and then on to ball 2. Use the short-cushion variant if the aim point is on the short cushion, and the long-cushion variant if it is on the long cushion.

Watch outIn the long-cushion variant the start and aim scales are halved (1 and 10 points per half diamond). Do not mix up the scales of the two variants.
