The marble is shot from the hollow of the crooked index finger, and
projected by the thumb. Good shooting is often done in this way, but
the most expert shots place the marble on the point of the index
finger, and project it with a firmer grip of the thumb. This method
is more difficult to acquire, but it pays as does everything that
requires practice and effort. A good player, as in billiards, can make
his taw carom for position, or he can make it remain stationary, while
the marble struck shoots away in a straight line.
