Banking poll.

[8pack]

If you where to take 10 tables that bank different from each other.
What would make the tables play more the same.

Banks hit hard.
Banks hit soft.
Or neither.

 

[SpiderWebComm]

I'd say hard.

Raising one end! What do I win?

 

[mdavis228]

Definitely hittin' 'em firm - take more variables out of play.

I agree, firm takes a lot of things out of play.

 

[OTB]

speed of a bank shot depends on the angle.........both right, might need speed to shorten or slow to lengthen the bank.........

 

[pfduser]

I would start out hitting them firm/hard and then go from there.

 

[Roll Out]

Rails differ a lot

To adjust as quickly as possible to a strange table I'd suggest first use your normal speed and see how much it differs from what you expect. Then hit it quite hard and then quite soft to see how much the rails shorten (hard) or lengthen (soft). Then use some side spin at different speeds to see how much the rails grab and change the angle of deflection. Expect to keep making minor adjustments as you continue to play...

Several reasons why fast-speed banks are more consistent are described here:

advantages of fast bank speed​

The good bankers use fast speed for a reason (or several).
