    Dr. Dave ....

    You have great videos on lots of subject matter. Do you have any video of shaft deflection upon cueball contact ? In my experience it is way easier to miscue living on the edge with low deflection shafts. Is there video evidence of this ?

    Odd observation while playing BB 8 Ball

    Played a guy cheap 8 ball moving the coin. Flat top Valley just recovered and played quite well. If either of us broke and made a ball or balls we only ran out maybe 20%. Now if we made more balls , 4 or more , the % was probably 75%. If we broke dry the incoming player would run out 50%+ of...

    Does the degree of difficulty really change ?

    Playing 1 pocket your pocket is nearest the 1 and you need both balls. Is the 1 really more difficult to make with outside English? I know for me it certainly is. I don't know if it's because I go inside on this shot whenever I can or if the difficulty is real?

    Run this layout

    I have been practicing this layout for 3 nights.Runout in # order. 4 has to be shot in the corner closest to it. No banks and don't run into any balls. Playing on a shimmed up 9' diamond with older cloth. It has been brutal for me but I have got real good at skimming that 3 ball down the rail.

I made the break ball and split the rack nicely only to have the cueball frozen between 2 balls no shots available., not even...

    Getting a object ball to follow thru?

    So a ball is in the pocket and you want to shoot a ball into it and thru into the same pocket. I use a slight draw stroke but is there a better way? Maybe jumping slightly into the object ball so it bounces into the blocking ball?

    Visualizing shots NOT AIMING

    Cory Duels great 8 ball shot was the product of understanding his ability to move the 8 and where it could potentially be pocketed. I shoot a little warm up shot to highten my concentration , gain knowledge of table speed, and check table roll off. I place a object ball along the end rail 1/4"...
