https://photos.app.goo.gl/HntMyKMt6FpPVkon8 I just re-did the video! click on video for sound & box to enlarge.
The balls are 3/16" off the side rail. I wanted to stroke it just a little lower so that the cb would just come off the rail enough for the 3 to pass, plus this would of better represent the cb spinning like a top. But my camera quite filming.
I've been holding off in posting this bank for it pretty much culminates the series on Grady's twist bank, of which I wanted to add an extra twist to. I can not express enough just how important it is to have a relax stroke on this twist back bank, for it gives the action necessary to twist it. I used a measle ball so I could better represent the cb spinning. But if you get the cb to spin like a top, and I mean like a top, then you have stroked it well.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/9mBkkPsTEL1n7Hhn6 The 3 ball is frozen to the side rail. Note the position of the balls so the aiming point depicted is relevant. I am on approx. 30 degree angle and 3 ball is frozen just before the 2nd. diamond. Center ball stroke gives the best twist action, using tips of reverse english does no good at all.
I've been wanting to post this bank for a long time and now seems appropriate since we are doing a series on twist back banks.
I promoted a tournament in my home town and Henry & Ronnie A. would show up. I introduced Ronnie to a couple that showed up to sweat. I introduced him to the couple as the real life 'Fast Eddie' from the movie 'The Hustler', they said; "NO!". But later on I seen Ronnie set up this twist back bank, but he had it on a much slighter angle so he could follow it to the head cushion and off so to give him enough angle to cut a ball in that he had set up frozen to the foot cushion @ about a 1/2 diamond from his pocket, representing an ultimate OP shot. He made it no problem, and I walked up to the couple and I said; "now do you believe he is the real 'Fast Eddie", and they nodded yes! Ronnie was all smiles. Enjoy Whitey
