Just go to you table and chalk a spot and do a 2 rail kick with running english...then put a ball so it is just above the cueball path to emulate the miss the player made in the video. Then do the same shot with right english and you should be able to kick the object ball. Next try it with running english again but hit lower down on the long rail and you should be able to kick the object ball.

Yeah well he missed...and I could see from the video that he was hitting to high on the long rail. I was just explaining why he missed.

You do realize that center ball is an impossibility right? You will always impart some english on the cueball.
To refine your kicking skills, learn to play 3 cushion billiards. Kicking 1, 2 or 3 rails is dependent on speed, spin and a straight stroke. Understand how topspin will shorten an angle and bottom will generate speed. Rail first shots become easy. Before I kick at a low probability kick, I look around to see if I can tie something up. If you don't learn and practice kicks, you'll be a victim.
He will just bounce back here.

No you weren't, you were criticizing the method you believe he used.
Are you lonesome tonight?
I suppose that next you will tell me that angels can't dance on the head of a pin.
reductio ad absurdum?

I explained it in my post about how it's pointless to aim in pool.
Everybody knows that angels can dance on the head of a pin. The burning question for the ages is how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?
I am a pretty tolerant person by and large. Never-the-less, this new personality for somebody is wearing thin. When I start missing Travis Trotter I know it is bad!

Joe Villalpando is not only extremely knowledgeable but can explain and demonstrate things well.

oh great while the rest of us have to wait while you do all the math only to miss by a foot. They should remove the diamonds entirely imo. This isn't paint by numbers. I got rid of my diamonds. I guarantee I can kick more accurately than any of you system guys. 1 rail, 2 rail, 3 rail, 4 rail, 5 rail.

Worked on video lol.
This is a minor head-scratcher for me. What's the clearest way to explain angles in/out from rails?
Ideally you'd have words that are self-explanatory and everyone understands intuitively, to avoid having to provide definitions. But I don't think I've found the right language yet.
Do you mind if I start a new thread including your post, to ask for suggestions?
