Hi,
Does anyone actually believe in banking systems? or aiming systems for that matter?
If you really wanted to calculate the "system" for banking, etc, it would require calculations that no one could do in their head. There are so many variables in pool that these so called systems are merely guides to make sure you are hitting the correct side of the ball.
I suppose you could adjust a particular "system" to make it work on a specific table with certain balls, one cue, one person, exact humidity, right time of day, perfect temperature, type of chalk, precise speed, exact cueball hit and probably other variables that I am leaving out, but do you really think it would work if you changed one or perhaps, several of these things.
If you don't believe that all these things matter, especially when banking, then perhaps you don't fully understand pool at it's finest. I don't think people should put very much faith into any system as it will lead them astray and not really teach them pool. It will give you false confidence and you will scratch your head in disbelief every time one of your "dead" banks misses by a diamond.
The best system is in your head already, and its called "feel". That, along with a little bit of confidence and practice, will carry you a lot further than some concocted "system" that tries to displace the magic in pool. There is no secret that the pros know that you don't (well, here and there), but generally, go practice and you will learn to make any shot or bank you want to.

ps. I am not trying to be the "spoil-sport" here, but I just don't like mis-information. If someone wants to prove to me that their "systems" work under multiple conditions, even two would suffice, then I would retract what I've said, but its never happened. Come play where I play and you will think you are in a different world, the banks are so incredibly short because of the humidity.
