Where do I hit the Q ball to make this down to the bottom left hand corner

Patrick Johnson
If “lower left” means the corner pocket diagonally opposite the nearby corner pocket, hit it with low left to bank off the nearby short cushion (on the right side of the pic). Left puts transferred right spin on the OB to turn the bank and draw prevents the CB from following and interfering with the bank. Maybe jack up to avoid cue interference.

I bought cheap balls on purpose

I carry a set of Centennials wherever I go to play pool. It’s being used or else in my car. I never had an opponent object to using them instead of what pool balls were assigned to the table we were going to play on. I have 3 sets so I might as well use them since it’s never my intention to sell. Over the years, I added sets when the price was too good to pass up.

I have set of the Centennials too but we are playing on tables that require quarters, so it's less than perfect tables and playing conditions or nothing so.... I love the game and make the most of it.

Buy some time with a certified PBIA billiards instructor, to become a certified PBIA billiards instructor you must take courses and prove that you have the knowledge and understanding of not only how to teach but what to teach, my first lesson taught me something I would have never learned on my own, Tiger Woods had a coach, he may not have been a better golfer than Tiger Woods but he knew how to diagnose his swing flaws and make him a better golfer, my instructor has not only made me a better player but a smarter player too, it's worth the hour and half drive to train with him.

Obviously you do, but Dennis's tournament resume in no way justifies such an assessment, nor does his record in action.

His relative lack of major titles is, in large part, because SVB wore him our for the length of his career, and SVB wore Dennis out in action matches, too, especially in their TAR encounters. Honestly, I never heard anyone ever opine at any time that they thought Dennis was the world's best player, let alone better than Shane. Your comment that Dennis was clearly the best for years is laughable.

FYI, Pagulayan was elected to the BCA Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, which was 2019. Dennis was on the ballot starting in 2020 and was not elected until his third year of eligibility in 2022. The BCA Hall of Famers saw Alex as a slam dunk election once he was eligible, but not Dennis.

Same thing with Darren Appleton, whose career also coincided with that of Dennis. Appleton won the World 9ball, the World 10ball, and two US Open 9ball titles, and was elected to the BCA Hall of Fame the first time he was on the ballot.

Dennis was an amazing player, but I think your memory is failing you on this one. During his peak years, which I'd say were 2012-18, there were a few that were a cut above,

Dennis was the best all around player, winning multiple titles in every form of pool, big tables or small!

I own several sets of phenolic resin balls, they are unmatched in playability in my opinion, the league I play in uses polyester resin balls and boy do they play different to put it politely, to make things even worse, the polyester resin balls I do own are crap even for crap polyester resin balls, I picked up a set of cheap phenolic resin balls thinking they would play close to the polyester one's and they did not, it is a night and day difference, so I found a set of polyester one's on coolpooltables.com, they were sub $50 shipped, got them tonight and had to try them out right? I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised, no they don't play like phenolic but they did play quite a bit better than I expected, I figure the best way to learn how to adapt to play on different playing conditions is to play with different different balls on different tables, it's sorta like gambling with better players except you get to keep your $50.
