The Target Practice database is built by placing an object ball at a specific table position, then enumerating all makeable shots from that position based on cue ball placement and pocket. This produces a range of layout numbers for each object ball position.
Only one quadrant of the table is directly represented. The other three quadrants are accessed by flipping the current layout:
- H — flip the table horizontally
- V — flip the table vertically
Layout Number Ranges by Object Ball Position
The following ranges map object ball positions to their layout numbers. Use this table alongside the Setup tab's Enter Layout # field when you want to load a specific object ball position directly.
| Layout Range | Object Ball Zone |
|---|---|
| 0–21 | Near corner (top-right quadrant, closest cluster) |
| 22–25 | Short rail area |
| 25–27 | Short rail area (extended) |
| 28–35 | Mid-rail zone |
| 36–55 | Center-right zone |
| 56–62 | Mid-table right |
| 63–68 | Mid-table center-right |
| 69–88 | Center zone |
| 89–104 | Center-left zone |
| 105–109 | Mid-table center-left |
| 110–141 | Wide center zone |
| 142–160 | Left-of-center zone |
| 161–172 | Far left zone |
| 173–192 | Lower center zone |
| 193–204 | Lower left zone |
Using This Table
If you have identified a troublesome object ball position during play, locate the corresponding layout range above, then go to the Setup tab and enter any layout number within that range in the Enter Layout # field. Click Load to display that layout with Target position 1.
From there you can use filtering to narrow down to the specific shot types within that object ball zone.
