Look backward from a manageable final shot. Consider which earlier ball gives access to it and which side of that ball preserves a useful angle.

One useful set.
- Setup & action
- Say the next two balls and the first landing region aloud.
- What to watch
- Describe the result, the miss pattern, and one thing to try next.
- Practice format
