This game is hundreds of years old. You ain't figured out shit, I promise you
Tell that to the CTE crowd too.
Think I found a reason why it's better to use outside english on cut shots

The only reason you are being attacked is because of your clear lack of interpersonal skills and generally annoying insights. Do you remember the story about the boy who cried wolf? You should because your living it and your opinion is no longer respected, wanted, or required. I personally enjoy reading the wealth of knowledge that is willingly shared on this site. The vast majority of posters here are incredibly open and helpful because that is what this place is about. As far as you being "worried" about giving away a competitive advantage? Based on your previous posts that ship has sailed far far away with your dignity chained onboard. If you actually have a valid insight or question post it. If not, stop wasting all of our time with these personal questions of character (or lack thereof).
You created this reality so you don't get to ***** about it. Welcome to your own well deserved personal Hell.
1. It has already been discussed on AZB. Please do not punish us further because you cannot be inconvenienced to search and/ or read all the posts.
B. There is no one way to shoot all cut shots.
Primarily: There should never be allowed a pushout in a pool game.

I already posted my thoughts and reasoning. You didn't even bother to reply? I don't think I came up with anything new, I just haven't come across anyone else explaining it before.
They never figured out shit either. That information is AT LEAST 40-50 years old.

Refer to this thread. It has very in depth info regarding your question.

And for what it's worth I did use the search function. My apologies for not going through all of the 1,000 pages that it gave me.
Your post really boils down to shot making with outside english.
Distance,speed and how your shaft deflects the ball and where the cueball needs to be will have everything to do with pocketing the ball.

I gotta ask... gosh darn it, I HAVE to ask. What are you doing here? What is your purpose with these threads that seemingly "innocently" ask a question; you get called out on your intentions; then you back-pedal (seemingly to try to make those that called you out look like they're "mistaken"); but then finally, you show your true colors (e.g. the "I need all the edge I can get" type comments)?
I mean, what's the deal? You make the Mubarek comment, but seriously, are you "into" causing rancor? Are you "into" the John Belushi "Food fight!!!" and-then-leave-the-room-deal?
Help us out here. We'd like to understand you.

P.S.: and why start a thread, only to want to have someone else "take it over"? No accountability?
The problem here is that you have admitted to being a new player... you have said that you don't know much, and that you aren't that good...
Then you say that you have found out something new. New to you, yes. New to others, No.
That is why you are getting flack.

ok what you posted right there is meaningless. i am talking about the difference between shooting the shot with center ball and outside english.
I am claiming outside english on a thick hit will increase your margin of error more than it will decrease the margin of error on a thin hit.
And I am claiming this because an OB obtains more throw on a thicker hit than a thinner hit.
What you are talking about is so general it doesn't mean anything.

Well I've repeated my reasoning 3 times and no one has said a word about it good or bad.
What a strange coincidence.
Yesterday evening I linked to that very same thread here. And then this thread suddenly pops up this morning that gives essentially the same arguments.
Very twilight zoney.

I don't see any posts in that thread regarding the relative amount of throw on a thick vs. a thin hit.
You didn't even make it to Post #8?

Oh, okay...then you surely would have seen Post #105.

Well I'm heading out to practice, we'll discuss this more when I'm back.
Take a guess at what kind of shot I'll be practicing?

Who cares? You aren't listening to what the posters say on here and are not taking the time to read the thread(s) that has been listed. jsp was even nice enough to point out specific posts within a thread to you including the first and last page lol. How long until you create another thread stirring a different pot?
I havn't been here much lately, and I'm not sure who you are, but, like Dave said, nothing new has been "discovered" about game in 100 years. Skid, CTE, collision induced throw, etc.....is not new, it just gets re-hashed in different terms IMO.
now, why, in simple terms is it easier to make a ball with outside or helping spin?
lets take a cut shot to the left, and you use right spin......that will put a clockwise turn on the OB which will, if undercut, spins the OB ball down the rail at a shallower angle making the ball......if over cut in the same example, the OB will first hit the left side of the pocket with the same clockwise spin sending it into the right pocket face spinning it into the pocket. That, along with the extra bonus of avoiding a skid using outside spin, is a three fold reason why outside/helping spin helps make a ball.
again,nothing new here, this was all probably known by cavemen.
G.
p.s. this is also why bankers aim to OVER cut banks.....it does the same thing as using outside spin! try it for yourself and see.
