If the one you mean to sink is blocked, or you have a bad angle, it's possible to back a different ball into your target.

Speed and distance, however, you'll need to intuit. Those lines you see when you change the angle of your shot and line up with other balls (the ones you need to sink) will show you which direction things will go upon impact. Do NOT try to sink the 8 ball (the one that's almost all black) unless you've taken care of all the others first. If you manage to sink all of the balls you need to, you'll have to sink the 8 ball in order to win. All you need to focus on is hitting in stripes or solids, so don't bother paying attention to their numbers. If your opponent sinks first, you're whatever type they didn't sink. If you sink the first ball, that's your type. Whichever kind of ball ends up getting sunk first will determine which group you have to finish taking off the table.
