Is there an easy way to chose A or B on Left Cuts, or C or B on Right Cuts??
Experience mostly. Usually, but not always, the transition occurs roughly at a half ball hit, or 30 degrees. But there are certain positions where visually you can extend one way or the other, has Stan as shown in his support videos. With a little practice it's fairly easy to identify, and if you chose the wrong one it should be pretty obvious, again with practice...
When would the sweep be opposite to the normal sweep??
When you need to thicken the hit from the initial alignment vs. thinning it out. Most shots require thinning from the initial alignment, so therefore an inside pivot is used. So on a right cut, you use a right pivot. Exceptions are for straight on or thick shots, roughly up to about 12 - 14 degrees (again, not really based on that but will give you a guideline), where you use an outside pivot to thicken the shot. Other "opposite" pivots are used with other alignments but they are rare, I personally only resort to them when the normal inside pivot doesn't look right.
How does the visual change on Banks??
Visuals are the same. Visualize what angle is needed to send the object ball along the desired path and choose the alignment/pivot one would use if cutting a ball into a corner with a similar angle. At least that works for me on most banks. Again, practice and experience makes a difference.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
By the way, Jason Duffner did a great job this past weekend.:thumbup:
