i think if your proficient at banking it makes this easier but still i think it is better to not play position for a bank.... thats where it becomes really tough

hahha love the bet.... i want some side action :grin-square:

strangely i was trying this same exact layout yesterday... this is extremely difficult and requires top notch positional skills..... ..... if an amateur runs half of this i would be impressed.

if i can run this easily on 4.5 inch pockets what would that make me? what level of player?

If PJ could be so precise and accurate he would be on the tour and play position like Buddy Hall :rolleyes:

rep to u.:grin-square:

My goal is to learn how to play straight pool and run 50 and then possibly a hundred.

This happens when you are dropping your elbow before contact. If you drop your elbow after contact this does not happen.

Normally I play with a lot of spin and hardly played any shots without english. I would say about 70% time I used english. Today I decided to play a couple of racks cueing on the vertical axis as much as possible and it was a delight. There are so many new position zones you can access doing...

When I am playing people below my skill level for fun(no gambling) after a couple of racks I get bored and just start playing bad. Any idea how to fix this? Does anybody else experience this?

I ordered a Predator 3142. Can't wait until it reaches.

I agree with you. We have all seen kids that start out young and have talent only to become bored with the sport. A break from the sport is what is really needed. If they really love the sport they will come back.

This is true. When playing on a bar box I don't know how many times a ball rolled off on me. It is better to play an extra rail or two to avoid the roll off.

Why can't you do the test?

You've been on this forum longer than me so you should know that you can't prove Patrick the genius wrong. You could bring Einstein and Patrick will still prove him wrong :rolleyes: Devindra

Changing your aim to adjust for squirt requires a lot of feel because you have to judge how much the ball will squirt. With back hand english it is easier. If your off your pivot point by a little the ball will still go. Pockets have a margin for error.

Maybe you should leave the house every now and then PJ and go to a pro tournament and look at how they apply english.

Patrick, it must be stronger than adjusting your aim because as far as I know nearly all pros use back hand english. The pivot point is roughly the same for most shots as well. This is assuming that your keeping your stroke as level as possible to minimize swerve.

Patrick: Obviously as you should know, the effective pivot point changes from shot to shot. Bridging at your effective pivot point will cancel out squirt and the swerve. This requires some practice but is way stronger than changing your aim to adjust for squirt.
