No I'm not... I'm not making any claim to the pocket being bigger or suggesting I'm hitting so little English the CB doesn't fully rotate before striking the OB. What I'm saying is, I pick a target to aim for that is the max allowable center CB strike before a miss, AND THEN throw the OB with...

The target is where I aim the ball. You're simply calculating the throw into the aim. I am not. By doing I can 'cheat' pockets comfortably. There might be an opportunity for you to improve your game.

No, at least in my case, I don't. I aim to clip the horn. Which may equate to a missed shot. I then throw the CB, knowing I will miss the horn. How much I miss by isn't a concern. So to spell it out further, and again. The target is the extreme to how thick I can hit the OB and possibly...

Horse to water

Maybe it's because he rather deal with a expected fade of some degree. Then the potential random occurrence of a slight hook.

It did end up discussing something with actual interest...lol I'll take my part of the blame.

if you're jumping that short of a distance, you're likely doing the wrong thing.

I think you may be falling victim to what I used to when I first started on the forum. I'm not saying you're being a newb or anything. Just that >600 players are the exception, not the rule. Even at the 600 benchmark. Players struggle with consistency with tip placement.

I do the same... My purpose is to generate the vertical CB movement to allow additional breathing room for the CB to clear the OB path.

If you couldn't tell, I increased the font of the additional condition that validates your argument. I don't disagree with anything you've posted above. What I've been repeating is that erring toward a consistent side of the CB without altering anything else, is better than hoping that you...

good question... feel like being a trail blazer...?

Oh, and I only use a closed bridge when required. That amounts to an awkward location when the open bridge is hindered by the rail. Zero value to a closed bridge imo

You do realize a closed bridge literally has no effect on the mechanics of a 'power' draw shot... or any draw shit for that matter Now there is an argument to 'power' follow. As the shaft could pop out of the bridge hand after contact. Not that it would alter the shot at all. However the...

I won't say I play straight in shots (this assumes we're speaking in line of sight) with english. I'm going to ignore your use of the dreaded word "twist"..lol. However I do use SIT when extreme shot accuracy is required. As I mentioned earlier with the high speed, steep angle, side pocket...

Ah ha... Food for thought. The other night I was explaining to a 'weaker' player how I manage to rifle shots into the side pockets from what they consider steep angles. My 'trick'...? I play to hit the inside point and throw the OB with a 'touch of', (yes done on purpose...lol) outside. I...

Then nothing... as in neither effect of hitting a little to the left or right. Sure it 'can'... While center ball manifests no english on the CB, and thereby suffers no effects of applying english on the CB. Aiming center ball and randomly hitting either left or right, will produce english...

preach.....lol

I agree completely with this... A touch of this reacts differently than a touch of that. Whereas a slight variant in the amount of either 'this' or 'that' has a more predictable effect. Myself... Early on I had the tendency to miss thick on blind cuts. So, I opted a 'touch of outside' to my...

That's a typical claim on the pamphlets that fall from the sky.
