I bet you miss more shots with side spin than without. pj chgo

Musta been some wave..

Uh... pj chgo

You might still be right about their banking skills... pj chgo

Maybe you didn’t notice we’re viewing the table from its end (not its side)? Side pockets are (barely) visible on the sides. pj chgo

I’m a little overseasoned - too salty.

So centerball shots are harder for you? Like you, I've learned to quickly and accurately estimate deflection with little or no conscious effort. But that just means I've learned to cope with the added complications, not that they don't exist. No-spin shots are still easier, even after decades...

Without deflection you just point your stick through the center of the CB in the direction you want it to go. With deflection you have to estimate how far off that line the CB will go, a different amount for each different amount of spin and cue elevation. Even after you get good at it, that's...

Think of it as shooting a rifle in a crosswind - the stronger the wind the larger the range of estimation needed - the larger the range of estimation the larger the potential miss. But we aren’t as consistently accurate with it. Huh? pj chgo

I agree he does - so why tilt the pic to exaggerate? pj chgo

You could do that more accurately/reliably without deflection (if that was possible) by simply pointing the CB in the “deflected” direction. Deflection just complicates things. pj chgo

Remember dime bags? $15 ounces? You might be a Boomer.

Their pet bat took the pic?

You have to fine tune your aim to include deflection, but it's never useful, always an added complication. Aiming would always be easier without it. pj chgo

To my way of thinking it's both - action/reaction - but the important result (what I call squirt) is the cue ball's motion. Thanks for the info (I knew you had it in you :)). pj chgo

By claiming to know things they can't describe? pj chgo

In my experience, those who know can explain. pj chgo

I don’t see a connection… deflection is tip/ball interaction; carom angle is ball/ball…? pj chgo
