Level Three – Professional Routines

1. Colour and Red

Spot the colours and form a hexagon of seven reds between the pink and black.

Placing the cue-ball behind any colour to start, open the pack directly and then pot a red. If achieved move to next nominated colour. Re-set the balls after each shot.

For the shot to count the colour must be potted and the reds contacted directly.

Allow up to six missed attempts then award a score based on the number of the colours potted followed by a red.

If score achieved, record below.

2. High on the Black

Spot the black and position two reds a ball’s width from the top cushion.

Place the cue-ball anywhere for the first shot only and have three goes at potting six reds and six blacks in sequence.

The reds and the black are replaced after being potted.

Award a point for each black potted on the best attempt.

If score achieved, record below.

3. Snooker Escapes

Spot the colours and then position six reds as shown.

Placing the cue-ball a ball’s width behind the black to form a full ball snooker each time, hit each red in turn.

When a snooker is escaped removed the red hit from the table.

Allow up to six missed attempts then award a score based on the number of snooker escapes made.

If score achieved, record below.

4. Screw Across for Black Pots

Spot the black then line three reds with the red nearest the top cushion placed on the pink spot as shown.

With the cue-ball played from inside the baulk half of the table, pot each red screwing across for the black. Then pot the black into the same pocket. Repeat from the other side of the table.

Award a point for each time the red and black are potted with the side-cushion contacted by the cue-ball.

If score achieved, record below.

5. All-Blacks

Spot the colours and position the fifteen reds as shown. Now put six points up on the scoreboard.

Clear the table taking a black with each red, removing a point from the scoreboard each time a pot is missed.

After a miss, re-set the unpotted balls and the cue-ball. Re-start on the ball that was missed.

Continue until no points remain or clearance is made.

If score achieved, record below.
