Right to Left or Left to Right?

[Lawnboy77]

Interesting observation. I know I tend to be more accurate when cutting to the right.

Yes sir! I’m the same. Those spot shots are great practice.

Spot to spot there's a cte method for that!

Not for Mr. Spot Shot. 1150 in a row.

Mr. Spot Shot is awesome. I see he only goes for the left pocket.

Spot to spot is not that easy.

This has come up before, I think the record is 11or 12 hundred in a row. Guy didn't miss, just quit and went home.

Sorry, should have the entire thread before posting.

When I practice shots I miss them in both directions.

It's time to take up 3c. Screw those pockets.

 

[Korsakoff]

Why would the table matter?

Good question. I don’t think it would.

Rhetoric on this site makes light of anything that happened on a wide-pocket Gold Crown III, so I felt the need to qualify the statement.

Good call-out by you, though.

From Dr Dave's sight, I got Collins drill.

The number 1 shot is a favorite for my left hand VS right hand competition. If a choice is available I prefer the cut that takes the ball to the pocket on the side my body is on...
... as often the forehand side puts the body in conflict with the table. That means the backhand cut with the other hand is a natural stance.

Hey Greg. Having a hard time picturing this. If the cueball is on the spot, why would your body get in the way shooting left or right?

I was thinking of shots that come up in a game situation, not the drill shots. The shots where a player with one shooter hand goes for the crutch. An amphibious (as Yogi called it) shooter can seamlessly switch and have a natural shot with the other hand.

At the 1:42 mark he trys an exhibition type shot with the left after the century is complete. He missed it so not quite O'Sullivan.....but, keep an eye on this young player. At one point they showed his average shot time was 15 seconds for the match. Ronnie is running 17.45 for this event the season.

OK one last shot at 3:24. He shows the Right Left.

You have eye dominance on either left or right shots. I prefer to practice the shot i am weaker with.

A link to a video about "Spot Shot Kenny" is posted above. At about 2:25 in the video he points out that the actual number was 1250 although his jacket got embroidered as 1150.
