  • What's going on everybody?!?!
    It's been a year since I last showed a system that I use to measure 1 rail banks and kicks. Well today, I want to show you the very first system I learned to measure 1 rail banks and kicks. Then I'm also going to show you how speed and spin on the cue ball can affect the outbound angle of a bank.

    • @kw19991
      @kw19991 Před rokem +1

      Just be aware that this approach (angle of incidence equals angle of reflection) only works if the object ball has natural roll (no spin--no English nor follow/draw spin) and is also traveling at the equilibrium speed, which is determined by a combination of the felt friction and the rail manufacturer.

  • @alexanderwebb4102
    @alexanderwebb4102 Před rokem +74

    WOW!!!! I've been playing for 15 plus years and this is the first video I've ever seen that has successfully taught me a system on how to bank that is simple to understand and easy to implement. For that my man I appreciate you. Great Job!!! You gained a subscriber 👍

    • @dryclimateutah
      @dryclimateutah Před rokem +2

      Interesting that you find this system simple. Imagine trying to do all that with a 30 second shot clock... The simplest system is using the 2 to 1 track lines and then adjusting for how you want to hit the ball. Because everything you do different than soft rolling the object ball, using the 2 to 1 track lines, changes where you want to aim. (IE. hitting harder, using follow or draw, etc). Also the table conditions (and ball conditions) change where you want to aim. The Aramith tournament balls play different than the cheap poly-resin balls. The cheap balls get dirtier faster and have more cling (which affects how they react on the rails). Diamond tables with the extra bouncy rails change the angle the balls come off the rail and make them bank tighter. If you want to bank well, you need to find a good level practice table and practice shooting soft rolling banks using the 2 to 1 track lines. Then practice learning how much you need to adjust for hitting medium, then for hard. Then teach yourself how much to adjust for using soft, medium, and hard with top spin, then do the same with draw. This will give you a feel on how to adjust for different shots, because you don't just need to bank the ball into the pocket; you also need to play shape on your next ball. You should also practice using running and reverse English. Once you have your base lines and how much to adjust. You can then try different tables and teach yourself how to adjust for different rail conditions. No matter what you do, you will want to make sure you use good balls to practice with; because unbalanced balls will roll off, even if the table is perfectly balanced.

    @michaelrichards39 Před 2 lety +5

    I've been doing bank shots relatively successfully for the past few years on a tip I learned. It's so basic that I tell it to people often now.
    Try this, imagine a full length mirror on the side of the table that you are hitting the bank off to make the ball in the opposite side pocket.
    Then imagine the mirror image of the desired pocket in that imaginary mirror, (it's like looking at the bar table next to the pool table where my beer sits). Then I just shoot it at the desired speed and viola!
    I think sometimes people look at me and see that I'm not lining anything up, not measuring and looking way past the actual pool table at some imaginary spot in the air and thinking I'm drunk!
    It surprisingly works a lot of the time. Give it a try!

  • @IlliniDog01

    As a very low level player with a weird brain, I’ve been fairly good at 2+ rail kicks and banks, but have seriously struggled with single rails. I can honestly say that this video has truly helped me improve that significantly! Even used it PERFECTLY when I recently was challenged to a game of “bank 8” and executed it flawlessly, leaving everyone in shock! Thank you so much!

    • @TheCeedub
      @TheCeedub Před rokem

      I will make a 3 rail and even a 5 rail 7 times out of 10 and miss a long way 1 rail bank every time

    • @0351marinemike
      @0351marinemike Před rokem

      Low level players struggle more with single rail banks and kicks because their cue ball striking isn't as pure. Usually caused by poor stroke mechanics. Adding a little unintended English will really throw off one rail kicks/banks... whereas multi-rail kicks/banks usually involve using intentional english. A pre-shot routine, proper stance, proper timing, and practice will all lead to a better stroke and more accurate cue ball striking. I like to get my lower skill level players to practice their stroke by laying an empty water/beer bottle down on the table, then I get them to practice stroking into the bottle opening at various bridge lengths.

    Now THIS is my kind of English class! My cue ball control is horrible. Back in high school I cut class all the time and headed to a friends pool hall. I loved to play, but like I said, after the shot the cue ball usually ends up in a not so optimistic position for the next ball. I still have A LOT to learn! Thanks for the video!
