No. You play how you are going to play and it took you a long time to get there.
Have you ever tried the 'make it happen' approach?
Acceptance
Accept the fact that you are banking short and adjust your spot to hit on the rail.
If you need to bank pocket speed sounds like youre not. If you do even then sometimes your spot on the rail needs to be adjusted just a little short of the half way point.

Get a copy of the Beard's book. Its kinda like the bible of banks. http://bankingwiththebeard.com/?cat=4
If you're the type of person that can learn from reading and looking at diagrams, this book will help your game.
You should be able to just make the shot instead of relying on gimmicks. Relying on the Diamond system is like riding a bike with training wheels on...even professional cushion players don't rely on any diamond system...Chris Melling didn't need the diamond system to make his famous 4 railer. I never use them either. I really think the diamonds should be removed entirely. When my new Diamond Pro am arrives I am going to paint over them.

As opposed to what? Someone who CAN"T learn from reading and looking at diagrams? Believe me, I'm no Rhodes Scholar by any means but this book is super-easy to follow. I guess some people have trouble deciphering it and need a video to lead them along. For that Tor has some very good stuff as well. Hell, get both and you're good to go.
So the diamonds on the 3 cushion tables are there for looks right, not to be used? That is just too funny. :rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao:
Yup you should never need a guide or practice
Or ever play
You should just pick up a house cue your first time ever and run out one handed blindfolded
Professional cushion player's! LMFAO
I usually don't buy into a member is some other member but that totally sound like the fella who just got banned.
Paint over the sights. What jackassery

They should be removed. If these "professionals" are relying on them then they really shouldn't be considered professionals. If you watch any 3 cushion you will see that most of these guys aren't using a diamond system, and could make the shots blindfolded they have done them so much. Place the cueball anywhere on the table and I can one stroke it 3 rails no problem...with my eyes closed.
So if you want my advice...do the jedi method.

That's what Nikos polychronopolous 's reaction was
And pretty much anyone else who ever played
Why are they letting him do this for so long
Why do we need to go over the same shit over and over every week now

I have read the "Banking with the Beard" book and it is quite good, with a lot of diagrams and easy to understand explanations.
A simple method to use is angle into the rail = angle out on one rail banks providing you are not throwing the ball with english or hitting it hard. When looking at the table standing, figure the spot on the rail that will give you the same angle out as angle in and hit the shot with a little runing english.
Same as putting the cue ball in the corner pocket and hitting the middle diamond on foot/head rail ball should go into the opposite corner pocket (angle in=angle out).

Keebie, its the SAME guy. He'll be banned in a week or so only to be re-born as some other d^*kweed.

Do any of you touch type? I do...70 wpm...but I could not write the keyboard layout on paper from memory...yet I NEVER look at the keyboard for anything...not even numbers or symbols. It is mapped in my brain...pure muscle memory. THAT is the level you need to get your game to.
btw before I learned how to touch type I topped out at about 30 wpm...that is what learning the diamond system will get for you playing pool. Now I am at 70 wpm, with more accuracy, and my average speed keeps increasing. Another thing is fatigue...you can't sit there racking your brain on every shot. Schmidt said his high runs come when he isn't thinking just shooting.
