Having derived the bank point line in our easy as 1-2-3 calculation, you have arrived at the moment of truth, a concrete look at the precise place we need to bank the 1-ball to meet.

The method is easy since you are already used to drawing lines between balls and pockets. And as seen in another look at this bank shot as diagrammed here, you are helping yourself make many non-banked shots going forward also.
