Looking for a good source for banking. I want to improve on basic banking. I do not play bank pool or one pocket. Just want to improve basic banking.
 
Zero-X banking. Never bought it myself but Tor Lowry does great stuff. His kicking video was amazing and I doubt his banking video wouldn't be on par.

Aiming is only one of several banks challenges, but here's the simplest way I know: using the diamonds to measure equal angles (yellow lines) and aiming short (white lines) at the diamonds on the rail to correct for the tendency to bounce wide. It's accurate for rolling kicks and banks.

You should PM some random John Bumblebutt or Brumback or whatever his name is about banking :D
 
IMO the best way to learn is to learn on the table. The object ball does different things with different speeds and spins… you just gotta get out there and pay attention. Trial and error.

:thumbup: a feel for banking is the best way. I couldn't imagine using diamonds or some kind of aiming system (but this might be a valid approach).
 
Using a system for banking will run into the same issues as when you use a system for aiming, need a good table, very level stroke and no spin. No-one teaches an aiming system where you need to play position after the shot and no-one can tell you how to hit a bank to adjust for how the rails or temperature affect things, or how speed will change things.

Hi,
really don't get your arguments! A system is always useful and helpful..... Sure you always need to adapt things like: table, cloth, temperature .... A system helps you to get closer with less energy

The white lines are actually aimed at the diamonds!
The diamonds are setback from the rail to compensate for the natural forward roll of the CB. So when the CB bounces off the rail it arcs forward. This arcing forward is compensated by how far off the edge of the rail the diamonds are placed.
That is you aim at where the diamonds are on the middle of the rail not on where they would be when projected to the tip of the rail.

A system is useful and helpful. But only if it needs to be. If you have it down pat already then a system is waste of energy
