Thanks for posting, Stan. It looks like you're in Kentucky, so it's too far away for me. Now that you're here, can you tell me if Stevie Moore's setup of two parallel shots with the same visuals and the same half tip pivot resulting in the second shot leaving at double the angle of the first...

Neil, I wouldn't mind learning the system but it just doesn't add up if it's what I've read about and what I see being explained in the videos. How does one justify spending the money on something that doesn't conform to the laws of physics? So when I came across Stevie Moore's explanation of...

At 2:10 in the video: "We looked at the shots with the same visuals. We did the same half tip manual pivot. The only difference is the system took me to this angle here which was 6 inches down the rail. Well logic would say it would take me to here (6 inches for the second shot), but it didn't...

If you haven't seen this and you have 10 minutes to watch Thorsten Hohmann struggle yet somehow scramble through what has to be one of the toughest racks of 14.1 ever, start at 21:17. https://youtu.be/zufjjNA2EIc?t=21m17s

Probably more than I'm willing to spend though. This Gandy was being sold for $450 which is why I thought I'd buy it. How much are you selling it for?

What do you mean by "the tangent line for the shot"? When I think tangent line, it is the cue ball path after collision. And what do you mean by "presented to the outside edge of the cue ball"?

Thanks. I just realized I may have been misled about this table anyway. The photos have a watermark that make me believe they are stock photos. When asked about them, the seller didn't reply. Oh well. I'll keep looking.

I don't doubt it's a good system for getting someone close enough for finer adjustments. But the exact same approach to a shot cannot cover two different shot angles. Stevie said that the first and second shot were the exact same approach and pivot, yet the second shot went off at twice the...

Thank you. Any concerns about it being in a storage unit exposed to a year's worth of temperature changes?

Considering buying it. Is it a Big G? Owner says at least 1" thick 3-piece slate. He also says that it has been disassembled and in a storage unit for about a year. With temperature changes and such, do you think that is a big concern? Thanks

Everyone's solutions would work on the real table, and it looks like everyone got portions of my solution, but this is my solution exactly. Nice job, Bob! On a computer screen it's a little difficult to see the exact place where the cue ball stops, so don't get too frustrated. It's hard...

Maybe he was thinking along those lines, but I think the 7-5-2 are a little too close for comfort as the last 3 balls. And if he's keeping the 15, it's tough to work around it to get the 13 out of the way for the 7 to pass in the lower right corner after the 14 or 3. So the side pocket and upper...

Right, Bob. That would have taken care of it as well. It's just so comfortable to go to the easiest shot next without considering that we might be suffering for that choice later on. What feels right isn't always right.

I was watching this final from the 2015 American 14.1 tournament between Darren Appleton and Thorsten Hohmann (link below), and I found it somewhat amusing what happens to Darren from 57:00 to the end of the rack at 1:03:20. He got through it because, well, he's Darren Appleton, but it's...

The images from posts #6 and #14 conflict with where the cue is pointing. It looks like in post #6 you are pointing the cue along the line from A to the outer edge before parallel sliding to the right. In post #14 you appear to be pointing the cue along some other line outside of the object ball...

Thanks, LAMas. I followed the original system with the pivot. Salux has been trying to explain why the edgex version with the parallel shift works, but I have had a hard time following. Why is there a line bisecting the cueball, and why is it shown in his latest picture to be pointed somewhere...

I'm sorry. I'm having a hard time following your pictures. You say that line C that bisects the cue ball connects point A to the tip of the cue, but where is line C in your instructions for your system? And why is the cue aligned to what looks like nowhere? It isn't pointing at the object ball...

Interesting thoughts, guys. Thanks. One thing about B) is that he seems to be tracking his cue with his eyes to a point on the rail.

Hey, folks. Way back in 2008-2009 I posted puzzles on this forum for people to solve. The stop shot puzzles barely got started but were fun. The goal is to figure out a sequence that allows you to run all 15 balls with all stop shots---absolutely zero post-collision cue ball movement. There is...
