ANYONE KNOW THE DETAILS OF THIS SYSTEM???

If you’re in or close to Toronto, Canada.
I have an extra set of carom rails that will fit a 10ft pool table. You don’t need do anything to the pocket. It’ll fit over it.

Very generous of you kenney
Thank you
But after living in florida for 40 years
I am allergic to weather colder than 50 degrees farenheight
So i dont know if i will ever make it to toronto

Ok. There was no other reference than the 14 on the short rail. If 15 is the long rail, what's the scale?

Each diamond is 10 points. So there are 80 points.

I am not certain I understand your question but the second rail is hit at 15 because if you stun the cueball into 9 with 1 tip of english it will hit about 15 so it can hit the short rail scaled at 20 at 14.

i cant include your post above
but i think the 15 the cue ball hits on the long rail is coincidental
since all the other numbers are marked
if the long rail number was important
i think it would have been marked

Larry, i don't know the exact math, but it looks like it's a system that uses 3 tips of English. 3 tips of English gives you a total of a 3 diamond spread the long way and 1.5 diamond spread the short way.

So if you look at the diagram, if you hit the ball parallel to the long rail with 3 tips hitting the 1st diamond, the cueball would end up at diamond 2 on the short rail that would not score. So this is making a 1 diamond adjustment to score (note that the cueball path is 1/2 diamond over before hitting the 1st diamond making a full diamond adjustment to score).

Not sure if it makes sense now or if I made it more confusing.

One thing is clear... This is the first post I've read from Cocobolo Cowboy in years - he is still an ass.

Interesting your English system/numbers are exactly 1/2 of what I use.
For me 3 tips across the short gives me 3 diamonds spread and along the long gives me 6 diamonds with a perfect setup.
I'm still struggling with how much spin is added or subtracted depending on the hit and angle of approach.

Clocking the Cue Ball is a big component in my game.
That said, on my best days, I struggle to reach 750.

Maybe I should calm down and accept your numbers. I can see the possibility that your numbers could possibly eliminate my struggle mentioned above.

My numbers come from simply spinning the ball into a rail at 90degs and figuring out where tip placement gives me 1, 2, 3, diamond spread across the short.

Maybe on a pool table?

Tom, if you don't believe me, maybe you'll believe Caudron :

He made the banks after the fact though.
