shadows

Yes, and my advice is to not learn banking with shadows. What happens if you learn to use shadows under 3 lights and then you play on a table with 4 lights, or two fluorescent tubes, or off-center lights?

There are a lot more knowledgeable players on this forum and I'll admit that I can't bank for chit. I try to visualize angle in vs. angle out and then compensate for any english and the speed of the shot. Of course, I miss a lot of them. I hear that if you start playing bank pool, you'll learn it in a hurry. If you're like me, then you learn to cut thin.
 
The only time I ever hear stuff like that is from someone that brags about how great they use to shoot. Such as years ago when I played for big stakes I would shoot at the lights, shadows, and etc.
 
Wow- Haven't heard of the in YEARS

I have heard of "shadow- aiming"... not for banks, but for just for making balls on a bar-table.

I thought the idea was really neat, possibly very useful, and I had the technique explained to me at least ten times, but I never really really got it... The guy who tried to teach it to me is gone now.

Hearing Drew talk about it, I'm pretty okay with having never really understood it enough to use it.
 
Kinda

Not to bank. But shadows can be very effective aim points. Similar to white burn marks, chalk stains or any other feature in the cloth. That said a shadow could very well serve as an aim point to bank.
