Another Rotation video

[JohnPT]

I know we've had a lot of these runout videos on AZ but hey what's one more right? It's just a 5 minute video so I hope at least some of you would take the time to watch it and comment here good or bad. One thing I noticed in this video was I was keeping my elbow bent... I'm usually good with that so I'll be making sure to check that on my next session.

I'm fooling around still with where to set-up the camera. I think it needs to be higher as the table is kinda distorted. So for that I apologize.

Anyhow, here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-ZmMGcKG3g

Tough crowd.

The camera angle is fine; much better than the link in your sig pic.

It's hard to see much of your fundamentals because the background is so dark.

Nice shooting.

nice shooting for sure. care to share your pool
background. or how you went from C speed to A?

I'm going to adjust the exposure value next time I do a recording to better see the background. Thanks for that.

I'm not quite A speed yet but I plan on getting there. I am constantly working on my fundamentals, I've learned not to force the cb to go where it doesn't want to go (that usually results in a miss) and most importantly I've learned to trust my insticts as far as aiming. Those are what have helped me the most.

Very Nice shooting and control. I like what you wrote above and you seem to follow it.

Very nice break with all open balls, would be interesting to see how you handle clusters, etc

thanks for sharing

:thumbup: how about one more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMFI244ihPU

I placed the camera higher but maybe zoomed in too much. Lower your volume though, lots of background noise. I had to attach youtube music to drown out the noise.

I thought I shot better here but I hesitated on more than a few shots. Luckily, I was able to pull through. I hope someone enjoys the vids and maybe pick up some things too.

There is talk here on AZ on open vs closed bridge so as an experiment I thought I'd try to run a whole rack of rotation with a closed bridge. Only a few shots felt awkward, particularly shooting from top of the rail. Otherwise, most shots can be played naturally with either. I didn't feel I shot better or worse with a closed bridge.
