Difference 2 diamonds: 3 × 2 = 6; 6 − 9 = −3. Aim into the negative zone. Spin 2.

A system for complicated cushion positions between the long cushions: the cue ball leaves one long cushion, goes to the opposite long cushion, zigzags between the long cushions and arrives back on the same long cushion it started from. The system is based on the difference between the start and the arrival on that same long cushion.

When? When the cue ball and the target (balls 2 and 3) are on the same long-cushion side, and the cue ball has to go to the opposite long cushion and zigzag back to the same long cushion.
