If You Were to Start Learning an Artistic Stroke...

[HomeBrewer]

So I've always wanted to try some of the artistic shots but never wanted to beat up anyone's table. Now that I have my own, I don't want to beat that one up either...

What are your thoughts on using a 4x4" snippet from the old Simonis 300 that came off the table that Yura left with me as a little pad under the balls I start striking at, while I learn? I'm thinking it would be like using a piece under a cue during a break shot in pool, which is widely considered to be of benefit to the room owner and also not something that negatively affects the quality of the break shot itself.

Any thoughts from y'all on how much that would affect actually the cue ball behaving the way it otherwise would without the extra cloth?

Obviously it's worth doing even if I'm not making the points, but I suppose I consider it more an academic point -- if you put a piece under, say, Sayginer's ball, would it affect his shot making in any large way?

And now you have silicone all over your table and it does not play normally.

Here just a few name members HomeBrewer could PM or they could answer in this post (Jean Reverchon, Mazin Shooni, Jamison Neu, Eric Yow, Bob Jewett and Florian 'VENOM' Kohler. and probably a few more not mention). beneath_the_su, if you don't know these names you don't need to be in carom.

HomeBrewer could even contact http://www.ciba-online.net/ and ask that question.

Why do you think all trickshots are done after the tournament?

As you stated in another post you got more post than me LOL!LOL! check your math!!

Jason, use the square of cloth under the ball. I shoot the artistic program (well, I try) and I use the patch -- doesn't affect the shot. Frankly, most of the shots do not require the patch, only the masse shots and you aren't ready to try the "grand masse" anyway. The program does NOT permit silicone on the balls, so forget that. Semih doesn't even use it in his exhibitions anymore (he used to but no longer).
