Understanding Banking & Kicking
utilizing the Mirror Image Rule

    In This Diagram each cue ball is to be banked into the upper left corner pocket.  By visualizing a second imaginary (black & white) pool table (the mirror image) and aiming to shoot the cue ball with center english into the imaginary tables upper right corner pocket, the cue ball will bank directly into the upper left corner pocket as intended.   The amount of english applied to the cue ball will always make a large difference on the accuracy of the shot, in these examples we are always using center cue ball english.
