2 rail banking?

[maha]

if you can repeat your speed and spin then a system is deadly accurate. and has to be by definition..

 

[maha]

there are many kicks you will not be successful at without knowing how to kick with out spin.
just sayin

and most all shots in pool should be learned without any spin first. then when you start adding variables, you have a base to compare to. otherwise you add much time to your learning phase for no reason.

i know you realized my post to boogieman was intended to say "without knowing how to kick WITH spin" not without spin
i corrected in in my post above
and i agree with your post 100%

 

[maha]

actually i didnt. as i "read" what a person is trying to say not what
"is" written.

so often i misread what someone is exactly saying as i tend to only see what he is really saying or trying to say.
if you get how i think about things.

and my post was to what you had corrected before it was corrected.

OP be talkin 'bout banks.

 

[Bob Jewett]

Is there a way to use the parallel shift system of kicking for banks? Or something similar. Looking for a quick way to measure 2 rail banks either in my head or with my cue, that doesn't involve counting diamonds. Thanks.

I think the best you can do is work out some reference shots for common situations. Are you mostly interested in end rail first banks?

Yea but kicks are affected heavily by spin and there's plenty of systems for those. I'm sure there's something simple out there that I just don't know of that will give you a solid line, atleast as a reference.

Find you an old one pocket player, buy him lunch or offer to pay for his table time, then ask your question.

If a player does not have the cueing accuracy to avoid unintentional spin, then he should be working only on fundamentals and ball pocketing basics, not kicks and banks.

Systems are a huge distraction if you can't even hit a ball with precision. They can also be a distraction even if you can.

This is 100% correct , however we all know like much good advice it will be acknowledged then ignored.

I practice kicking to fine tune my ball striking. I know how to cue accurate and I know how to kick. Kicking let's me know if I have gotten sloppy.
