Knowing the 'Correct Angle' to get out of the 'Trap.'

[mr3cushion]

Playing one pocket on a 5'x10' table, and the 15 lies in hole, kicking at it by creating a 'draw angle kick' (bending the CB). The trick is knowing what angle to aim into the 1st cushion, always look to aim to a 45-degree angle into that rail.

It is not just the angle, take a look at how much spin he had to use.

I developed a 'System' for these types of kicks back in 83.

So... Bill forgot he was giving you 12-2?

Playing kicks like that with reverse draw was a favorite shot of Grady Mathews that he would demo in exhibitions. It is surprisingly consistent but the speed, draw and side all need to be right.

I figured somebody was gonna parade his integer smarts.
