I was sent a copies of articles written by Carl Conlon. One of the articles better describes a clock system than I can and am trying to perfect it for myself.
The starting point is to calibrate your stroke to give tip placement a numerical value 1, 2 or 3. Lets call them tips of English. Shooting straight across the the short 1 tip will bring the ball back 1 diamond over from your starting line on the second rail. Two tips = 2 diamonds and 3 is supposed to go 3 diamonds. He also shows going further than 3 diamonds = max English w/o a value.
I can only get 2-1/2 diamonds on a 3 tip offset unless I elevate slightly. Plus theres no way I can go any further out and not misscue.
Elevation is not mentioned so assume he's saying with a level cue. What do you guys think? I have a stroke issue or elevation is required. Carl says keep working at it till you get there. Hmmm I've been working on it for a very long time.
