The release flows into the real route, and it’s the release that opens it: release inside to run an out, outside for a slant. Everything else in the catalog stops at the battle on the line. Six routes, half inside and half outside, with a ball at the end.

Key points
- The release is chosen based on the route, never the other way around.
- Release on the side opposite your break: that’s what gives you space when you cut.
- Run the entire route; otherwise, the drill reverts to a release drill.
Common mistakes
- Always using the same release, whatever route is called.
- Winning at the line, then easing off, and losing at the break what you gained at the start.
