The illusion effect

Awaiting Dr. Dave saying the ball still isn't curving and we are really witnessing an illusion.

Do you believe balls curve now? Or no.

We have a winner. He just BURIED the science guys. Nicely done. LOL. The slow mo shots look just like a bowling ball sliding down the lane. HE BEET ME. STRAIGHT OPP PAY HEEM PAY DAT MAN HEEZ MONEE!

A NEWBIE WITH 5 POSTS JUMPING INTO THE MIX! Which banned member of the rogues gallery are you? LOL Are you suggesting that our blind spots are coming into play with this shot, and that our brain is filling in the details with incorrect information? Last I checked, cameras didn't have blind...

So the champions video is the most convincing of the bunch.:eek: Did The Beard actually say the ball curved in his video? I haven't seen it. I knew someone that had his DVD and watched maybe 3 minutes of it laughed at it when he makes the 3 railer side to side straight back cross corner, when...

From your perspective. In the videos and still shots presented with straight lines running through them, does the ball travel in a straight line off the rail, or not? Simple yes or no will suffice.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the "largeness" of the effect is directly dependent on 2 things. The angle of the initial bank. How far after coming off the rail, the object ball "breaks", grabs, masses, touches down from being airborne, etc etc. The closer to the rail after a bank a shift...

Yet the science guys ask for concrete proof of something when they themselves can't duplicate it. Point being, the original video shows an object ball traveling in not a straight line off the rail. For whatever reason. And now people want to dismiss that fact, and argue that what they are...

I wonder how many items in the scientific realm, are simply accepted as fact, even though they haven't been proven yet. Are there any cases of that? Hmmmm? Something that has yet to be proven that is assumed to be true?:rolleyes:

So you are saying, that a ball not traveling in a straight line off the rail, regardless of why, isn't curving. Is that it? You are saying that this is the sum of two different trajectories?

I'm just wondering what the core issue is? The ball doesn't move in a straight line off the rail. Anyone who does it or who has seen it KNOWS that. So what's the problem then? If it's curving from the get go, or hops in the air and then changes trajectory, or if aliens come down from outer...

Thanks for the effort. I know where you are coming from though. Some things just aren't worth it. Happy ball bending.:cool:

Maybe the object ball curving is in the realm of quantum mechanics. Or maybe it entered a different universe for a sec, and popped back out from that universe on a different trajectory. Maybe J.B. Is a Jedi master and he just made it curve with his mind. Clearly he has an insane midichlorian...

No "BB CUSTOM" caps? :( I have a BB CUSTOM that would look pretty sweet with BB CUSTOM caps. But that's ok. Not shelling out that type of money for caps anyway. They are really sweet looking though.

There was a thread on this a long time ago. No idea how to find it.

Just mirror what you do normally, with the opposite hand. If your right eye is over the cue when shooting righty, make sure the left is over it when shooting lefty.

What about me! What about me! It's all about me!!!

When I shoot right handed, my left eye is the eye that is directly over the shaft. When I switch to my left hand for a shot, I will shut my left eye, and make sure my right eye is the eye directly over the shaft. It is easy to do actually, as long as you are conscious of it. But there are...

Some constructive criticism. -slow it down -don't hit things so hard -bear down a lot more before pulling the trigger -make an effort to hit the break squarely and actually try to control the cueball because you look like you are twisting and going sideways on the break and the cueball is going...
