Great video. I plan on trying some of these out today. As a Diamond table owner, I'm wondering: would the 1/3-More-Than-Twice system simply become the 1/2-More -Than-Twice system?
Dr. Dave's Youtube channel has 193,000 subscribers. Looking at the numbers for the last time i catalogued them, that's the largest number of subscribers of any pool or snooker channel.
I think Dr. Dave is a success.
i agree. with emerging platforms and new users i was asking if he thinks its worth the work
No. I keep busy enough already with AZB, e-mail, YouTube, and Facebook. I don't want to add more.
Regardless, my concern in this thread isn't overall reach. It is has this video has done relative to other recent videos I've posted. This particular video is get much fewer views than normal.
That might work. I don't have convenient access to a Diamond to check. Please let us know how it works if you try it.
FYI, Venom has over a million subscribers. I guess I need to get me some of those sexy models that appear in his videos.
I hadn't noticed that. It's interesting that so many people are interested in trick shots!FYI, Venom has over a million subscribers. I guess I need to get me some of those sexy models that appear in his videos.
Just a quick glance though, shows that Dr. Dave's instructional videos are exceeding the viewer rates for Venom's instructional videos. I think you need a certain level of commitment to watch an instructional video, so maybe that's the hard core community?
I gave it a try. I have a 9ft black-label diamond (< 1 year old). I wanted to minimize the impact of variables, so I set up along two lines, 1.5 to 3 1/3 and 2 to 4 1/3, with the object ball about an inch from the rail and the cue ball about a foot from the OB, perfectly along the intended line. I discounted any shot where I either felt I did not do a direct hit on the OB, or if I saw the CB spinning in any way after impact (what can I say--amateur stroke here). I hit at medium speed. I went until I got about half a dozen qualifying hits.
I then did the "and a half" line for a series of hits. Conclusion: my diamond works on the "and a third" line. Caveats for trying to generalize from that are that 1) supposedly diamond uses different rubber between their 7/8 ft tables and their 9 ft tables, and, 2) the rubber that diamond used in its older tables may be different than the ones in the more recent tables. I know when I recently played in a pool hall with 10 year old 7ft diamonds, I noticed the pinball effect that others seem to complain about. It would not surprise me at all if for a large population of the existing diamond tables, an "and a half" system or something similar might actually be better.
How much of that might just be due to having posted it right before a major holiday weekend?
Good point. Instructional videos as detailed and complete as this bank/kick video is definitely not everybody's "cup of tea."
Thanks for reporting back.
I hope you can find time to do this. If not, maybe you can provide a brief description here.
Do others also have their own systems for aiming fast-speed or sliding-OB bank shots that are different from those in the video or on the resource page? If so, please share a brief description.
Thanks,
Dave
Or you could, just wear short Shorts.....FYI, Venom has over a million subscribers. I guess I need to get me some of those sexy models that appear in his videos.
Video is just fine the way it is. Serious players will search out your content.

I think my hairy legs might scare a few people away.
Thanks.
