Long Bank Shots

I am having a problem with making the long bank shot. I must be doing something wrong because the shot is becoming a mind over matter problem. I have played with the diamonds and the angles to no avail. I am now getting :confused:

PS: I play mostly on 7 ft tables.
 
Problem Have you....help repair shall I

difficult to figure out problem by description you give, offer advice do i...

Your speed you must work

-depending on the angle you may be hitting it too soft or hard which sometimes depending on the distance to the rail the OB is the CB can get away fast enough....speed will also affect how the OB rolls wide, dead on, or short.

Make banks half ball hit does

-Know this that many bank shots can be made by hitting half ball....aiming the center of the CB to the edge of the OB....you'll find that speed greatly affects the shot.

You can change it even more with inside and outside english but i suggest getting it down by sheer adjustment of speed first.

Remember that a little follow or running english will make the OB rebound more naturally as its rolling prior to hitting the rail instead of sliding.

pratice hard patawan

always be aware of what you are doing....where you are going...equipment matters not, size pocket matters not....shoot in the center you should.
