Do you kick, bank or shoot straight in shots well?

Straight in shots I find very easy.
I kick pretty good
Banks :banghead: not my strong point. I would rather cut a ball razor thin.

Kicking is the strongest part of my game. I don't use any diamond systems. I just pretty much go be feel. I do use a parallel line system for 2 and 3 rail kicks. I feel like I have a pretty good handle on which kicking paths will give me the best chance of leaving my opponent safe or at least long. I occasionally play a game where my opponent will try to 3 foul me with ball in hand on every shot. It is very difficult to do.

It's just too bad I cant shoot worth a crap.

Charles kicks like a mule. And lies like a rock.

Charles-yes.:grin: He kicks good. Hard to 3 foul him.

Me-not so much-I kick a lot because I hook myself on the one remaining ball on the table so often. I lock myself up so badly, that I get to try 3 rail kicks a lot.:o
 
(Blue Hog ryd ) Kick shots are a luxury for me. I'd love to find a tape that teaches those
A must have DVD for kicking is an oldy but goody Grady Mathews KICKS ONLY . It teaches 1,2, &3 rail kicks lots and lots of great stuff INHO
 
in the early years i played "bank" quite often. learned to make them by "feel" rather than a diamond system or the like. i would much rather bank than cut any day! my kicks therefore aren't too bad. the straight in shots....i am practicing those every chance i get, i think the straight in shots are harder than any other but that may be because i have a hard time with them. just practice & practice. :bow-down:

I get a kick outta bankin'.:cool:

..especially on a GC 1 with original Super Speed rubber.

I might be the only player on here who is batting 1,000 at full-rack banks.
..played a guy in St Louis when I was a kid...$50 a game.
I banked all the 'white flags' for 3 games...but he wasn't worried.
He could see I didn't know the moves....as we racked 'em for the fourth
game, the owner came in and walked to our table and said to my opponent
"I barred you!..now get the hell out."
I haven't played full rack since...hence the 1,000 batting average.

John Brumback....eat your heart out.:dance:

haha.You won that one.
I might be the only person that banks better than they shoot em straight in. Least that's what I hear alot.:p John B.
 
I bank well,straight in shots forget about it, and my kick shots i do well. I tell my opponents to play safe so i can learn how to get out of em and kick to make a good hit on the object ball
