Once again...feel and adjustments
Once again feel and visual adjustments must be made in order to play high level pool.

Gearing English Compensation - Thoughts & Questions
- Thread starter Colin Colenso

Agreed. Because swerve (and therefore "net CB deflection" or squerve") varies with shot speed, shot distance, cue elevation, type and amount of spin, and conditions, it can be very difficult to judge, even with solid intuition built by countless years of practice and experience.

So, knowing that has made you a better player then?
I'll tell you what i know about gearing. I'd never heard of it until recently, and was quite pleased about it. Then, when playing, i missed 2 unmissable balls because of it.
Thanks doc!

Agreed, but striking the CB purely is still the key, and eliminates all other problems at a stroke.

Neither is playing pool, patrick.
You would be amazed at the famous players and instructors that don't get this. Hello, Mr Lee?
This is why it's not wise to use a level cue - "Center Ball" and a "Level Cue" are two things I'd suggest players avoid unless there's no other choice.
One thing I'd suggest players avoid is your advice. This is a good example of why. Utter nonsense.

Damn, Mitch.... Thanks for taking note of my post. I'm amazed at how real pearls of knowledge get lost in the minutiae of flame wars on this site.
They would rather argue than have intelligent, interesting discussions. I don't participate much anymore.
Yup...it's kinda sad. The internet is a weird place.
I used to lurk here--absent for years--recently returned. But dam I love pool!
Best to ya, Mitch. Stay down on your shots, -Chuck
Of course I don't have the playing skill that you do - just like you don't have the technical understanding I do. The difference is nobody tries to belittle your skill.Patrick plays pool? I bet that's a sight to be seen.

So, who would win in a matchup? You or CJ?
In the movies, the old smart guy always wins!
Do you think you can take him? Maybe we can work up a game.
Aloha.
Complication Why?
I guess I really don't see any need for complication here. I was always told that Outside eliminated throw and it does. I would imagine if you didn't get enough you would adjust until you do and once you learn that, you would do it again sometime. At least that is the way its worked for me.

... only if it is just the right amount of outside (i.e., the gearing amount). Too little outside creates cut-induced throw (CIT), and too much outside creates spin-induced throw (SIT).

CJ, of course. Nobody here (to my knowledge) has ever questioned his playing ability. But more should question his technical understanding.
