How SPEED AND SPIN Affect AIM

[dr_dave]

Good stuff/reminders once again

I'm glad you liked it.

Appreciate your time and efforts Dr.Dave

You're welcome. I aim to swerve (even for OB swerve).

FYI, I just posted a new video that demonstrates how speed, topspin, and bottom spin affect cut-induced throw (CIT) and cling/skid/kick. I also show how to adjust your aim to compensate for throw by overcutting shots or by using gearing outside spin. Check it out:

Contents (with timestamp links):
0:00 - Intro
1:13 - Cut-Induced Throw (CIT)
1:45 ---- overcut aim
3:14 ---- gearing outside spin
3:57 - Cling/Skid/Kick
5:15 - Topspin/Bottom-Spin Effects
6:18 ---- OB swerve
7:22 ---- speed effects
8:12 - Summary

As always, I look forward to your feedback, comments, questions, complaints, and requests.

Enjoy!

Thank you Dr. Dave, as always a lot of very valuable and well presented information here.
The difference between a new set of balls or a set fresh out of the polisher vs. an old nasty set that looks they were wiped down with 36 grit sandpaper would be interesting. Sometimes I will let one set of my balls go a little long before running them through the polisher just to note the difference.

Good point. Check out the video I did a while back on the effects of various ball surface conditions and cleaning/polishing products. The differences in the results were striking:
