After-Shot MASSE effect

Great explaination of masse' effects Mike. I loved the way you were able to not only demonstrate the effects, but also how you marked your cloth.

masse aiming technique
As always, excellent video!
Dave
PS: If people want more info about the masse aiming technique you describe, I have some good illustrations and explanations in my November '05 article. The technique was originally discovered by the great physicist Coriolis in the early 1800's!

dave...The first known application of masse' came from Francois Mingaud, inventor of the leather tip, somewhere around 1821. Mingaud also wrote the first known book of 'trick shots', and was the first trick shot artist, performing for royalty in Europe.

Mike,
I'm really glad you decided to take up pool even though it has been at the bottom of your career list.
Your explanations, videos and drawings always provide useful and unique information seldom seen in content or quality in the market place.
Just wanted to say thanks from the billiard community.

masse shot aiming technique
The "technique" I was referring to is the masse shot aiming method described and illustrated in Mike's video and in my November '05 article. This technique was discovered by Coriolis, not Mingaud.

Dave

Very interesting stuff. Thanks Mike.

I thought Mike's idea of drawing the lines on the table was great (although I cringed while watching him do it). But I think it would be most instructive to see a video of how the results meet the expectations - maybe with parallel lines drawn to show the expected path and then an actual shot with the CB following the lines. Has anybody done that?
Great video, Mike!

Mike,
Loved the chalk diagramming and good to have a name for that shot. That shot often comes up in 8-ball when the CB gets among the clusters.
Hope you do another more detailed masse video so we can just link to that everytime someone asks about it
btw: What kind of chalk is that and how easy is it to remove? I might use some for future vids if it's easy to wipe off.

I cringe every time I see Mike whack the side of his cue stick, adjusting the position of the cue ball or object ball.
Mike's motto must be, "Cue stick shafts will continue to be whacked on their side until misses are completely eliminated."

It's Crayola sidewalk chalk, available at toy stores near you. Comes in 15 colors and is perfectly edible.
A single back and forth swipe with a dry cloth removes two thirds of it.
Then another ten swipes removes two thirds of what's left.
Then another hundred swipes removes two thirds of what's left
Then ...
Or (stop reading here Joey)
Ten seconds with my Riccar upright takes care of it all...
