Rising Sun kicking method?

[The Renfro]

I loaned my billiard atlas 3 to a friend and well that's a long long story.... I was intrigued with a kicking system called the rising sun but never even got to try it... Wondering if anyone out in AZland knows it well enough to splain it? =)

Yes please. We are waiting!

The intersecting unilateral axis contact point of the rail in conjunction to relevant speed, spin and ball diameter departing on an identical angle as angle approach, not considering loose cloth, soft tip, Kamui chalk and gravitational pull, should predictably follow the intended path ingrained into the cerebellum after 40 years of practice.

It has to do with the relationship between naturally occurring- recurring- travel paths and parallelograms.

When you get more and more of something happening, the more predictable the results become. IT is the law of large numbers and it applies to kicking systems.

The table surface has humanly imperceptible tendencies to apply its own will to the dable, screwing with you regularyly.

It is mentioned in Vol 3, but actually appears in Vol 2.

I'm familiar with it, although as I remember the numbers were a bit different.

The baseline shot is where the first ball is on the first diamond on the right side long rail (as in the diagram above), and you are trying to make the billiard as shown out of the corner. The left long rail is numbered, and based where the cueball is starting (based on a line to the first ball) you use that many "tips" of english to score the point, with negative numbers denoting reverse. There is also another reference shot with the first ball on the second diamond and a different set of numbers to work from.

Back when I played 3-cushion a bunch I was also bored at work and I documented all useful systems I had come across with my own notes and thoughts. The systems, from various sources, made the list if they were relatively easy to remember and worked well. I remember this one, so it must have made the list.

Thanks Geo and Scott... It's been a number of years and I couldn't recall anything but the name... Think the closest billiards table to me growing up was at Vanderbilt in Nashville but that didn't stop me from digesting as many billiard systems as I could find...

You forgot the Coriolis Effect
