Please don’t let me stop you - keep digging your way out of that hole. pj chgo

As usual. pj chgo

lol Since (as my #1 fan) you've archived all of my posts, I'm sure you have an example to share. You don't just make stuff up, right? Right? pj chgo

👆 What they said (especially the Ultraskins part). pj chgo

Do your old and new methods both look equally "straight"? pj chgo

To be clear, the squirt angle does depend on the amount of spin (tip offset) - can’t tell for sure if that was agreed. pj chgo

Yet it can't be repeated once? Riiiiiight... So you won't have to dodge questions any more - good move. pj chgo

I'd use feel - unlike you, that fact doesn't give me hives. You claimed to be able to shoot feel-free - now all you gotta do is describe your "objective" alignment. pj <- more crickets chgo

So you got nothin'. Choose any angle between 1/4 ball and 1/2 ball. pj <- crickets chgo

The variables for that shot are length, speed, amount of spin and amount of elevation. If you don't choose the right amount of each for the existing conditions (cloth/balls/humidity/etc.) you won't eliminate swerve. pj chgo

What visuals should I see/align to make, say, a 25-degree cut shot (excluding spin/throw to keep it simple)? pj chgo

Assuming your bridge is in the right place (at the "pivot point") and squirt/swerve are taken into account, backhand english works all the way up to the miscue limit. pj chgo

If you really knew what you were talking about, you wouldn't still be making this mistake. Feel/intuition (not "guessing") is part of just about every pool shot by every player, whether they/you know it or not. It's most of what's learned by practicing. pj chgo
