Bank advice requwested

Lately i have been using more center ball
is that the best way to bank consistently

 

[pool101]

Banks are dependent on many variables, if the object ball is rolling when it contacts the rail or sliding, speed and throw. If you are straight on the mirror line and the ob is more that a foot from the rail then yes, center ball is consistant if the speed is the same, less tha a foot from the rail and the ob ball is sliding to the rail it will change the angle out, increase speed shortens the bank and decreased speed lengthens it.

I rarely bank using center ball, because it is rarely what the position requires.

Everything & anything you ever wanted to know about banking is in both of Freddy's books.
"Banking with the Beard" & "The Gos Pool"
I highly recomend both books. I have both his DVDs also but in my opinion the books are way better!!! A lifetime investment!!!
