Add a third and fourth red to add to difficulty.

The reds must be taken in sequence as potting one makes the next available, so position on the black must be thought about and played for carefully.

Touch

Clock

Advanced Clock

Place the six colours in order in a line down the centre of the table, each a balls width away from one another and with the blue on its own spot (see diagram).
Screw from ball to ball for position - pot the six colours in their normal sequence into the same centre pocket.

 

The purpose of this routine is to pot the reds while keeping the cue-ball within the circle.

The reds may be taken in any order, but the cue-ball should always be screwed back towards the centre of the circle.

Essentially the same as before, but now six of the reds have been replaced by the colours.
It should be played as though it were a frame of snooker, following each red with a colour, and then taking the colours in sequence.

Baulk Colours

Four Reds and Pink

Six Reds

Place the baulk colours on their spots and six reds below the pink spot as shown.
Pot any red and screw back to pot any baulk colour and screw back to remaining reds and so forth.
Place the pink on its spot and four reds either side of the blue spot as shown.
Pot outside red into corner pocket and screw back to pot pink.
Screw back from pink to remaining reds potting only into corner pockets.
Place the colours on their spots and the six reds as shown each covering a pocket.
Place the cueball to pot either of the top reds.
Colours can only be potted into the pocket freed by the potted red.
If two reds are potted in the same shot then the second red is replaced.
