The barrels are a good picture of what I'm wondering. It feels like a barrel with an smaller radius would, after the CB hits the OB, cause the cueball to move less forward than a barrel that is fatter and shorter.. Im wondering how much?

But the ball can only spin on one axis. And how this axis is tilted will affect how much of the spin that will be able to curve the cueball after impact with the object ball. If the spin axis is completely vertical there will be no curve since the ball is not moving at the resting spot on the...

Oops, i changed it now! Thank you

Lately I've been playing a lot of 3-cushion and I've thought a lot about carom angles and how to create angles. When I read the Technical Proof section at Dr Daves site and the Physics Resources I have a hard time to find any explanation on how spin axis affects the carom angles. First lets...

The trick would be to measure them without asking. Since what players think that they are doing and what they are doing can differ a lot. It maybe feels like they are sighting down the cue but maybe the eye aligns in different ways you cant really know from what they are saying. Thats why I...

Sources? It is easy to sound credible with an argument like this but this is just an guess I think? Yes, in my coaching I think its important that I teach the best methods that I find or can come up with. It's not something I'm always going to communicate to a player and if a player uses the...

Do you take stance advice from someone with one leg as well? 😅 No but seriously, if we all aimed with one eye theres no doubt the eye to cue alignment is the best one.

So I'm really trying to just use logic here, I have no problem if this feels incorrect for som players or not. Im just trying to figure out which method makes the most sense, and of course I know that experienced players will do this subconsciously. I was aligning my eyes to the cue a couple of...

That you aim to the thing you actually want to hit and that you eyes is always aligned to the same spot for every given pot.

Thats really good to know, then anybody in reading this will get an really good insight in your process and how to get better while aligning their eyes to the cue. Very good info! I already answered that:

I'm trying to be thorough and ask some good questions while also trying my best to present my ideas and thoughts. I don't think you are making very good contributions to our discussion and also bring a very boring tone to an interesting topic. You are not really presenting any good answers to...

I thought we where discussing eye alignment. And in order to find how to align the cue you have to factor in many parameters, isn't that right? Lets say I aim "learned distance from where I’d aim it without side spin" to an object ball and miss, how can I know if my original aim point (the one...

I stand behind the shot on the CB to GB path and look to find the overlap of the balls that is the correct aim. I use this path no matter what spin I'm going use. Since I always aim at the GB I will always work on hitting and predicting the CBs trajectory to the GB. I can also get feedback if...

Yes but not visually in both casese, in the eye-ball case you are visually aligned to the balls and let your proprioception control the cue base on how much you going to start the ball offline and how much its coming back. In the case where you visually align yourself to the desired cueline you...

The problem I had when I did SightRight with a certified coach was that it was very hard for me to feel confident while looking down shots because every shot looked different depending on the spin and speed I was using. It threw my of my game for many months and I still remember when I, in the...

The cue ball is quiet a bit smaller and usually they are using less side spin than pool or carom players so it is hard to know. The only real way is to have a motion capture system that capture 3d data for us. I can only guess and based on my previous post I think you know what my guess would...

Can a level 4 really move back to level 3? Doesn't that mean that they are a level 3? To me a level 4 can think about "how to do it" in practice but in a pressure situation they will not, BECAUSE they are at level 4.

Of course a straight shot should look straight but I don't think the OP felt that it did and then you have to start with either the balls or the cue and to me a method where the eyes are aligned to the balls are way superior to one where they are aligned to the cue. I want a pot to look the same...

I know theres a lot of different theories on this but what I found works best for me and the players I teach is to disregard where the cue looks straight and focus on the balls. Lets say I have a 30° cut and thinking about either playing it with max outside or inside spin. I want my eyes...
