Man , I wish I was recording. I stopped the cueball one diamond from the rail. No side, just a plain ball hit. Now I’m trying it with check side/inside english, and a little swerve to see how far I can push it.
Damn you! For two reasons: I’m now obsessed with seeing how short I can stop it, and playing at absolute dead weight has mad me realise my table has a slight roll off on this particular angle. And I just had the damn thing leveled!
Yep, 1 to 1.25 diamonds from end rail is possible. I know, as you do now.
When i first posted in this thread, i thought that was the spot shot he was shooting.
I was thinking damn, that is freaking amazing to make that many in a row and not hit a rail.
I originally said 1.5 diamonds cause i was sitting in ER waiting for test results and threw numbers out from memory when in fact it was 14 inches from rail, but that was one shot out of many, many, many attempts.
Its as your seeing not as hard as some think to stay 8 to 10 inch3from rail and even further if conditions are right.
Like you, i got hooked on that drill. I spent hiurs and hours doing it. I don't regret it but, i do wish i had saved it on video cause i would be able to just "post it" and then get back to 14.1 instead of taking what little energy and time I have right now to do it...that wouldn't be a wise decision on my part.
Again, good shooting and congrats on learning your touch ajd table even better!
