Good question mate. I think different people learn in different ways. I happen to be one who learns best by hearing, seeing and doing, not by reading. That's why I believe in the Bank Shot Calculator app. www.bankshotcalculator.com

Thanks Renfro, I played in one of those rooms for years and no one ever told me why the mirrors were on the wall. It took a math class late in life for me to get it. But when I got it, man, it was like a flood of data all at once that had been stored up for decades. The light switch clicked...

Filibagodo, Many thanks for the kind review. I am very pleased you are finding the Bank Shot Calculator as useful as I have. If by chance you are planing to attend the Super Billiards Expo in PA next week I will be at the Inside Pool Magazine booth. Stop by and introduce yourself. I will be...

Thanks Robert, A good critique for sure and all good points. I continue to study the physics in efforts to make improvements where I can. I agree the transfer of english starts immediately but I would argue the full momentum the shot angle and applied english will create is not immediate...

All things in their own time Ghost. Like all computer programs we start with 1.0, 2.0... Kick-banks, kick-safes, bank-safes, three rail and four rail shots are all items I plan to incorporate but the App must support itself. I am after all, just another working stiff with a dream. Cheers, and...

Just hit-em-hard dude.

Man…you are one tough sale, and all this for $5 bucks. Let me concede this. Take the point the object ball will be sitting on the surface and draw a circle around it equal to 1.5 time the ball diameter. Inside that circle and on any pocket cut outs can be subtracted from the 8192 surface...

He did get kinda gitty didn't he? That was fun. I love showing the Bank Shot Calculator because people are blown away when they hit the shots. I will get the Droid out as soon as I can. A lot of people are asking for it and I am eager and I am pushing for it. However this is a business...

Disclaimer from www.bankshotcalculator.com Disclaimer: The physics of pool and billiards dictate that every player, table, room, felt, cue stick and numerous other factors cause different reactions when striking balls and rails on a pool or billiard table. The Bank Shot Calculator simply...

There still seems to be skepticism regarding the BSC so I wanted to crunch some numbers and share them with anyone that would take the time. I posted these numbers on an earlier thread and decided they’re worthy of their own title. I will start with the rail ticks and the counter, which...

I did not get the count but how many players were at the Derby? I'm thinking just over 400. Market research statistics suggested over 44M people play pool. I'm guessing most are in trouble as you suggest. I just want to help get them to a level they feel like competing with all you guys on...

Let me just suggest that all things are (relative). The cue ball will transfer 25% of the English you put on it to the object ball. In show room conditions like the Derby and other tournaments and in most pool halls I’ve been in I’ll get two diamonds deflection with one tip English of center...

Thanks Freddy. This means a lot. Honored to meet you last week. I liked watching you move on the action table. Cheers!!

The Bank Shot Calculator doesn't take questions and give answers in the scenes you're thinking about. It does however account for it all. You tell the calculator what you want to do to the shot and it calculates the point on the rail you need to hit. But Yes, It knows how much english will...

Wow, why is this even a question? Do we live in some communist state with only one choice available? Is the economy so bad you can't buy the DVD and afford another five bucks? Are you convinced I have nothing to offer? All valid questions but please let me just say; John Brumback and Freddie...
