Safety play: when not potting is the better shot

A safety trades a chance to pot for control of what your opponent faces. In the worked example, a safety worth 40% beats a pot below 42.9%, but only when a miss would leave an easy out.

Combination shots: potting one ball off another

Aim the first ball at a ghost position behind the second, then the cue ball at a ghost behind the first. A 1 mm aiming slip grows by the gap divided by one ball diameter: about 5 times at 300 mm.
