Simple aiming system

No. You need to think through the issues with more care.
Again, what does that mean? Are you disputing the fact that one player may err to the right and another to the left?
How about getting TK to tell us directly what he thinks. That's not gonna happen, is it.

What it means is I understood your assumption, though my observations suggest otherwise, that on the diagrammed shot, players with cues off the shot line are are equally likely to be aimed too thick or too thin. However, TK's remark referred to situations where the cue is on the shot line but struck at an incorrect speed or is struck causing a table microjump, etc. As I wrote, "Think with more care."

This weekend, he mentioned that he typically avoids AZB due to the rude behavior of some members. I could invite him here to comment, but I hesitate to do so out of concern that he might not be treated with respect.

I set the diagrammed shot up for Tom Kennedy and a friend this weekend, in person. Tom said, "Overcut more so than undercut, probably because shooters are slightly off their cue angle and deflect the cue ball."
So in this post it's for one reason......

.......but a completely different reason in this post.
Sad how the straws you grasp at get smaller and smaller as your ego grows and grows.

No, that's incorrect. Based on my observations, most players do not miss shots in a bell curve distribution of undercuts and overcuts. I do appreciate TK's input, particularly his initial reasoning on why he also often sees players overcut that shot. It was not one of the three reasons I've cited earlier.

You need to understand that "bad cue angle" can refer to being "off the shot line" or "unlevel," as I wrote in two recent posts including "Think with more care." While I believe you grasp this concept, it seems you have chosen to reiterate your initial argument, as you've done now for several posts.

I believe this discussion has run its course, unless you have additional facts or data for me to review.

Must have taken quite awhile to dream that up. Pretty difficult to say 2 completely different things and then find a way to say they're actually the same. The hole keeps getting deeper.

No, I immediately pointed out "think" and then "incorrect speed and microjumps." I did not simply add information to my previous post.

I have patiently responded to about a dozen of your posts, all of which claim I'm wrong without providing any helpful data or facts.

I guess you're just too smart for the rest of us. We have a very difficult time understanding plain English. Don't play with fireworks tomorrow, you need those fingers so you can continue to school us.

Yes, you already told us that. You also told us that he said in post 158 the issue at hand was due to deflecting the CB. Then in post 167 he changed it to incorrect speed or microjumps or so you say.
Well, which is it cuz they aren't the same in most people's universe. Perhaps you live in a parallel universe?

Can you two take this to a PM? This is ridiculous. We get it, you guys argue, call each other out and attack each other. Really, it's old. Maybe a mod could clean up the last several pages of kindergarten level bickering?

Could you please point out anything I've said in this thread to Sparkle that you find childish?

No, I said "off cue angle" and explained that the cue angle could refer to either the horizontal plane (which we've already discussed) or the vertical plane (a fact you've not responded to yet).

The only thing kindergarten level is BA knowledge of pool. If he continues to post incorrect or plain everyday fabrications I will continue to challenge him.
Sorry it bothers you. Ignore button is an option.

We aren't talking about what you said or explained. We are talking about what TK said to you. Unless, of course, it's all a complete fabrication, which wouldn't surprise anyone who knows you well.

I understand we don't know each other well, and I've tried to reach out to you, but my efforts have been rejected.

You can contact TK on his Facebook page, either privately or publicly.

There is an old internet saying from the days of old. Do not feed the trolls. Also, here, have an image, just post this every time they try to instigate you into an arguement:

You can't win a debate with someone online. He goes for character assassination and you feed into it. You honestly make yourself look much worse by interacting with him. Sometimes you just have to let it go.

Also here's another one I used to post before I ignored justnumnuts because it seemed as dumb as the things he spouted:

After rereading this thread, I passed out for a little while. Don't worry, I seem to be be OK now. Here is my POV video of when I woke up...


That tooth was no good, anyway.
