I think having a larger (heavier) cue disc allows them to hit softer and move it around easier. Yes they can use sidespin if you pay attention you will see they sometimes use it. The fact that a larger cue ball undercuts on a pool table isnt due to throw it has to do with where the OB ball is...

Of course squirt is linear.

It doesn't matter. The deflection takes place at the time of contact and that means it just effectively changes your aim so all you need to do is aim differently.

You can hit the same amount of the ball regardless of the shaft you just have to aim differently.

No you cannot.

You need to show up at least and hour early and hit balls around by yourself until until you adjust. We have a similar situation here but its east and west side and when I show up to a hall with faster tables for a tournament I always show up really early.

Reddit billiards forum is ok but the people here are more mature.

In a nutshell it sounds like your cue ball control was not up to par for 700 level. The fact that you had to shoot a lot of bank shots is a dead giveaway. What you are describing is a typical 650, able to beat most players at a lower level than them without good strategic play but against...

In general a player APPROXIMATELY 550 is favorite to get out with 6 balls on the table and ball in hand, which is hardly 600 level offense. APPROXIMATE 600 level offense generally is 7 balls with BIH, which is a lot harder to do than 6 balls. A 550 with 650 offense? Its just not true, if they...

When I was about a 550 I beat a a 700 one time 9-ball race to 10. All it takes is for the 700 to rattle some balls they normally make with 5 or less balls on the table, and the 550 to make some shots they normally don't and it can become close. The 700 is a former lesser known touring pro, an...

I think it might be more that the Kamui Blacks are starting to run harder than they used to: The black mediums are like old black hards and the black softs are now more like old black mediums. To put it in a nutshell I dont think their quality control is what it used to be.

The Kamui Black Soft is pretty close to Everest, it's just a tiny bit harder. The Kamui Black Mediums are actually pretty hard for a medium and the newer ones I've gotten have have given me so many miscues I wont use them anymore. For the first 3 days or so they play great then they harden up...

There is also a video Fargorate The Myth Of Consistency that explains this phenomenon in pool.

Make sure you pause for a while before your back stroke and let your muscles loosen up then make sure you pull the cue back slowly. You do not want to 'wind up' on a power draw shot: everything should be controled. Also make sure you are hitting as low as possible so it takes the least amount...

Its real and if you have aiming problems it might work. I use it and my day to day consistency greatly improved. There are two parts to what he teaches: the changes to fundamentals and the aiming system part. I just used the changes in fundamentals and I've seen a huge improvement and I would...

If it makes you feel better I am a dunce at basic mental math (especally if i had to do it in a race, I would lose to a normal 3rd grader...) and I'm pretty good at higher level math. Higher level math is a whole different ballgame and based more on applying concepts vs rigid memorization. You...

After posting this I watched some CTE video that had been posted in the last few months that I hadn't watched and the next video that came up after that video I did what Stan said to do and I think I might understand CTE Pro 1 to some degree now. (I'm not sure really if I'm just aiming on my...

I don't have a bone to pick in this argument. However, as a college graduate with BSC and MSC in Computer Science and minor in math I find it very hard to believe that if its possible it cannot be diagrammed. If its possible to diagram something in 4 or more dimensions (and it is) and its...
