No wonder I hate the Olympics ....

We all understand about the gearing effect when one ball makes contact with another ball at grazing incidence.

The same effect happens when a ball hits a rail. Running English is simply the gearing effect applied to rails.
If the ball has outside english when it hits a rail, it looses significant energy, and reflects at greater angle than incident.
If the ball has no sidespin, the rail will impart some on first contact and the ball will slow down.
If the ball has too much sidespin, the ball accelerates off the rail (and looses some side spin because of the acceleration).
If the ball has just the right amount of side spin, the ball reflects <I will just use the term> "well" not accelerating, or decelerating and picking up spin where angle of incidence = angle of reflectance.

You can aim the shot anyway your targeting engine has decided works for you.
I can use little more or little less sidespin* to move CB around interfering balls and make 3,4,5 rail shots with interference on the table.
(*)Altering point of contact (i.e., aim) to compensate for the different possible paths.}

instead of pointing out how my post is wrong it is more appropriate just to make one where what you think is the right way.

and improve your reading comprehension as what you think i am saying, is your flawed interpretation of it.

Here’s what you wrote
“Learn to use the rails with no english first as that is the preferred route if available.”

Just how on earth is what you are advocating correct in any way? Why would anyone want to learn how to play a three rail kick shot without english when that is 100% wrong? Then they have to go back and relearn how to hit it with the proper english either going to the left or the right.

I realize you think you are some sort of “Great One” by the way you elevate and exalt yourself in almost every post you make and even by your username Maha.

Sometimes it’s better to shut your mouth and open your ears.

My reading comprehension is just fine you condescending &#%!@?!!

Forgot to add this one.
