But I like your idea of a trailer better - I think more people will click on a short sample out of idle curiosity, and some of them will become interested.

I agree this must be the main reason.
Bummer. I hope life returns back to "normal" sooner rather than later.
Thank you for the response,
Dave
PS: Do you have a 60+ BU Exam III video you plan to post at some time? You seemed to suggest this in the Challenge thread.
Ain't nobody got time for that. :grin-square:
Catch you later,
Dave
PS: By "nobody," I mean "me."
Shouldn't people be watching even more instructional videos while they can't play? That would be time well spent so when they do return to the table, they might be more effective. I'm not talking about you ... pool players in general. I know you already have good knowledge and skills.
For those interested in improving during these challenging COVID-19 times, I have been recently adding to and improving the following resource page:
practicing and improving when you don't have access to a pool table
Check it out,

Hi Dr Dave...
Job well done again... even with the lil mistake!!! lol I always learn something whenever
I get to see your videos... some of the BEST stuff out there... you are helping a lot of
players... novice to most exp...
Now you asked earlier about why your not getting more views... someone said because
of the situation... I agree. To explain a lil more in detail... many many players put their
cues away & basically put pool on hold... Yes there are also many who have tables at
home & will continue to play & also watch videos... (it is similar to when price of silver
starts going up... the people who collected the metals will then go find where they had
stashed it & have it on hand) Same goes with pool... if a person can't play due to places
closed... they just put everything away & do other things... my 2 cents...
Now there is others who want to improve & these people will want, need, & look for
anything... especially videos to help them learn... one thing more... when you finish
one video... toward the end of video you might want to say look for the NEXT one
& what it will be about... also putting your links to the NEWEST videos will also help!!
Just again my opinion... keep up the great work...

I learned something new to think more about.
The effect on kick bank with top and bottom spin on the cue ball is not something I had ever thought much about. This video helps to visualize it much better.
I always just use pure side spin when kicking as I can predict the effect fairly well.
Thanks Doc.

As for the reason you are not getting more views, not sure.
What I do know is whenever I try to explain (and demonstrate) the spin concepts to people who are pretty good bank (by intuition) shooters, their eyes glaze over.
Now I can just point them to this video...

Thanks. I’m glad you like my stuff.
Good points. Thanks for your input.
Thanks again,Just again my opinion... keep up the great work...

Im glad you found it helpful.
Running side is very important with multiple-rail kicks; but, IMO, center-ball is more reliable with one-rail kicks. Any slight error in the amount of side has a big effect with one-rail kicks.

Dave
Good luck getting them to actually watch. I’ve learned that many pool players are not really that interested in learning new stuff and improving. They already think they know everything.

Dave
An interesting statement. It would seem to me, in the context of under spin on the cue ball, you need to ensure you have under spin at rail contact time for the effect to occur. Otherwise you run the risk of having it become skid or top spin at rail contact. and your results go the other way.
With side spin (and yes an understanding of the approach angle effects) the side spin will be more consistent over the distance to the rail for a given cue speed. Meaning I do not need to hit harder or softer, based on the distance to the rail.
The amount of top or bottom on the CB when it hits the rail affects the rebound angle the same way regardless of side spin.

I understand that.
My point is in the context of applying under spin in order to take advantage of the effects of it for a single rail kick bank as Dave showed in the video is, in my view, harder to consistently utilize than with straight side spin across a range of shots.
Wait, are you saying if the cue ball with under spin, will rebound the same as if it had top spin?
