long and short Jenny

The name Jenny is used in two types of shot in Billiards

Long-Jenny - English Billiards

Any in-off similar to that shown in the diagram (right). In the example given the shot would be played with strong left-hand side to spin the cue-ball into the pocket from the jaw of the cushion. The stroke would be more difficult if the red were on the other side of the centre pocket

Short-Jenny - English Billiards

Any in-off similar to that shown in the diagram (left). In the example given the shot would be played with strong left-hand (check) side to spin the cue-ball into the pocket. When played correctly the red should be left in the middle of the table
