Easy to calculate for anyone.
Here's a Simple System for 'Zig Zag' Banks (Across the table) I developed in the 80's!

That's good, I'm saving that one. Keep them coming. I love these simple easy memorization systems. Especially for cross table shots. They're so finicky and unnatural and they don't come up enough to warrant putting a lot of time into them.
I use this one for when they're far apart. You have to hit hard.

Since I were the one who posted that pdf. I happy you getting knowledge from it! But I think we all should be listen or look at what Mr3Cushion (Billl Smith) is showing / letting us see some secret in 3C. We talking knowledge from the 1960- present day, there no one better to learn the old school from, other than I won't say because they are decrease!!!!
But I think ... there should be more diagrams showing how 3C and pool are combine (diagrams) from Mr3cushion!! To get more attention in carom section!!

Can't tell you how silly this is. The line in the second diagram is very sensitive to (even minimal) english, but it is EXTREMELY sensitive to speed. And age of cloth, btw. A little too firm and the ball will lock up between the long rails making the line way too short. Not enough speed, it will be a mile too long. Any sliver of unwanted english and it's gone. Practice it till your eyes bleed, go to any other billiard and you're starting from scratch, it's a different shot. The normal bank shot, twice around, may not be a sitter but it has a four of five times higher percentage chance than this attic-study solution that never works in the real world. There's a reason no top player ever uses this solution. The first diagram from the OP is in a different category: that line is eminently useable.

I didn't say it was a good system. I just said it was simple.
