You are correct. I was (wrongly) in my mind orienting the English to the pocket I am sending the cue ball towards after the collision, and not to the object balls I am hitting. Totally wrong way to say it... my focus is never really on making a shot, but on the cue ball's landing position...
One place where it might be interesting is on the one-pocket break shot. I try to achieve a high rate of spin (max outside) and very little speed to get the ball into the pack, off the rail, and back to that second diamond sitting on the rail....
Those are the guys who have made a TV show last for years as they look and look for buried treasure on Oak Island and never find anything. My post was saying they could use your help. You dug up this treasure from 20 years ago! My comment wasn't meant to be negative towards you...
