you said it better than i couldFor me I develop a ''thickness feel'' through repetitive try's. I'm also visualizing where whitey is going when struck.
Well what are you putting on the cue ball ??? thanksFor me I develop a ''thickness feel'' through repetitive try's. I'm also visualizing where whitey is going when struck.
How do you think the shot should be hit?Well what are you putting on the cue ball ??? thanks
Normally, I am putting straight high or straight high with perhaps a half tip of inside spin (about 1030 on the cue ball) on the cue ball. In your diagram it appears that I would be striking less than 50 percent of the object ball (probably 25%) with enough speed to two rail the object ball to the down table corner. As you practice shots like this two rail bank, you will discover that hitting 25% of the object ball with speed causes the cue ball to take an angular swing up table. Usually when a player shoots this shot he is attempting to make the shot while at the same instance keeping the cue ball as far away from the object ball should he miss the shot.Well what are you putting on the cue ball ??? thanks
Shoot it many times and the cue ball will speak. Similar to the thought process of when your lined up straight in on a shot that you THINK you can bank BUT. Over 90% of the time it's a double kiss. One develops the ''feel'' through trial and error. I loved watching the Masters this weekend when they talked about the winner/Dustin. He plays by feel. His caddy/brother would suggest to em the correct shot, but his feel/memory/muscle memory gave em the true answer to the shot at hand. It's like Grady said yrs ago. Ya gotta hit at least 2 million balls to get a ''feel'' for play. It's not something we are all wired with in life. I'm truly a feel player when it comes down to it. I can look and the ball coming off the obj. ball and know over 90% of the time where it's gonna hit the rail or when it's gonna hit a ball in flow with the cue ball direction coming off the shot.How do you think the shot should be hit?

Howdy back to ya, Hank! Yes, it is quite a bank when using HRE, it is as if the cb with its bending and ducking and flatting out, knows its job and performs so remarkably. It reminds of a beautiful positioning shot that Buddy Hall performs.Whitey, Howdy;
Nice dissection of the shot. You could hang up a shingle 'Dr. Whitey Bank shot Examiner'

I played with it some more, and when I I move the cb 4" closer to the center I still get out of the kiss with this english. At 5" I then use HRE or 1 o'clock, at 6" I then use HLE or 11 O'clock, if you use straight High you can get a kiss.
Possibly Bob would set it up using VP and see what results he gets. As you know I am on a 5 x 10 so the set up has to calculated. But at 6" closer to the center then I am at 1-1/2 diamonds off the side rail.
It turned out to be an interesting bank to work with.
