Happy to show what you actually replied to... That's your "validating" comment? If you say so... pj chgo

You mean like this? Yeah, I see how that could be annoying. Let's not. pj chgo

Except for you, apparently. Of course - but I'll do it with as much knowledge and understanding as possible. Sure - even if you learn it yourself. And knowing about spin to speed helps your understanding of and ability to produce those answers accurately. Yep, knowledge can improve your...

I think everything you can learn about the game adds to your skills, even if you don't notice it. For instance, a more familiar way of expressing the amount of spin on the CB might make it easier and more accurate to visualize/predict the effects, even subconsciously. And just to be clear...

You'd be safe and warm if you were in LA.

You never used to....

It’s working! Almost as well as asking whether they breathe in or out on the shot stroke… pj chgo

My advice: don't think about this shit - let others do that for you. pj chgo

Appreciated as always, Dave. So RPF = % of maximum tip offset X 2.1, right? So my previous post about thirds of maximum tip offset (linked above) shows 0.7 RPF, 1.4 RPF and 2.1 RPF for 1/3, 2/3 and maximum tip offset, right? I thought (for no particular reason) the maximum would be higher...

It would quantify one of the variables so it might be better understood/used. Maybe I've already quantified it in the most useful way (in the old post I linked above): "X percentage tip offset creates Y cross-table kick angle". But I'm always looking for improvement... pj chgo

And they might translate it into useful info for us "normal" players... pj chgo

In pool we use the term "spin-to-speed ratio" to describe the "amount" of spin on the CB, comparing revolutions to distance traveled over a fixed time. But the simpler way to express that would be "revolutions per foot traveled", ignoring the time interval. For a given amount of tip offset...

What’s the “window” in the butt? pj chgo

If that’s the criterion he should be deported (maybe by rocket ship). pj <- it’s a compliment! chgo

No shortage of pool myths to bust… pj chgo

Do I sense a Mythbuster video in the making? (y)👌 pj chgo

Thanks. Why a soft tip? pj chgo

Savannah Easton is our own easy-e? :p pj chgo

I'm pretty sure the spin/speed ratio is entirely determined by how far from center you hit the CB. pj chgo

I didn't see an explanation that makes sense to me. Care to give it a try? pj chgo
