Nice but you're supposed to make the third ball on a carom.
Everything you said that I converted to red text is wrong. Until you get past your lack of understanding that different ways of moving the tip to the side create different angles and different squirt if the cue ball is always hit in the same place we have no common frame of reference. To get the same result on the object ball using the three most common methods of applying spin requires hitting the cue ball in three slightly different places.
I won't bother with your quibbling over terminology. If you really don't understand you have wasted decades of your life.

The stroke that creates the MOST amount of intended effect on the CB, with the least amount of,power/force/speed,will control the outcomes much better.
Here's a small excerpt from an exhibition I did at , Chris's Billiards for several patrons in 1997.
In which NO silicone or any other substances we NOT used.
It demonstrates, some close-force-follows, multi cushion force-follows, a Hoppe classic follow, to a extremely difficult distance force-follow with a twist!

I think you need to check your understanding of the methods.
Backhand and fronthand English are methods used with different cues that produce different amounts of squirt, because they produce different cue angles when hitting the same CB spot. With one you move the back hand sideways (producing more angle for more squirt) and with the other you move the front hand sideways (producing less angle for less squirt).
I don’t think parallel English is an actual thing unless squirt is nullified somehow, like with swerve.

I have NEVER EVER seen a billiard book or pdf and you know I have A LOT of them
Put that qualifier in their texts when they use a diagram like that.
I guess it’s understood extreme english and not taken so literally
I also have not read in any blogs that it is a problem
Just my experience

Larry; as you know, anyone with a thread of common sense understands when medium - extreme follow is applied, it's the, 'bottom edge of the tip curve' that actually contacts the CB!
So, re: in diagrams that show the, 'top edge of the tip curve' outside the comfort zone for most has NO relevance in actual play!
COMMON SENSE is the, 'key' word here!
Your diagram doesn't show either edge of the tip (unless your tip is 1/8" wide). It shows a 1/8" contact point - 1/4" from the CB's edge.

I figure 99% of normal thinking people will always come to the correct conclusion.
But, then, there's that rare 1% that can NEVER understand the simplicity of the game by over thinking, which inevitably results in, 'Analysis/paralysis!'
Please describe shot number 1? Thanks.
its a stun run thru (in snooker terms)
a stop/stun shot but the cue ball rolls one revolution to take the place of where the object ball was.
you practice this all the time (with its variations)
berts version is just to get the cue ball to dribble one ball distance
Replacement ball. Thanks.
Here is a video of a drill I use to gain some CONCENTRATION in my pool game. My teacher has always and forever used the 5 portions of the pocket on every shot he makes. So hard to concentrate at that level but it's a goal. I want to do this 10 times in a row but have not yet. The pocket is confined to 1/2 it's width with the other ball. If you can do this 10 times in a row, I'd say your precision is great.

Who was the last pool scientist to win a major championship?
One quick look at the both of us playing, the difference is obvious!
Being that, "I" KNOW what is possible and what is NOT!
Obviously, YOU DON'T!
YOU limit yourself to limited info!
I'm not getting between you and PJ's conversation but:
Ever heard.....those that can't do ....teach?
Well, I know several people that teach, coach, instruct etc...etc that have a very high gear.
Having said that, 99% of the remaining teachers, coaches etc...that go around throwing out a lot of terminology and trying their damndest to seem smart, talented etc.. well, lol.... they put people limits lower simply because their ceiling is low.
Again, I'm not saying this applies to you two. Then again, I'm not saying it doesn't apply.
Some people (very gifted) CAN and DO bring a whole new set of possibilities to the table when talking about anything pool related.
Why do you think Willie M's record is still standing? Lol..... he was "one" of those people that could do things that seemed impossible to far less superior players.
Again, just sayin.

Maybe when you and I play.
I'm just stating the facts. There are more people who aren't pool scientists with titles than there are pool scientists with titles.
