Man.....my eyes hurt reading so much!! LOL
I totally understand. Good thing I haven't done any videos or my head would be spinning like when you post yours. :grin:
Following the exact instructions, "splitting the difference" between the chosen reference line and ob edge, you get it to work from a distance?
Depends on the distance.
Or do you make it work by NOT splitting the difference.
Depends on the distance. See below.
That's all I was saying, with my shaft, when I apply BHE (which is how I use english most of the time) the CB squirts a little but not enough to say this StD is accurate once the margin of error is less than about 2°. Shishkabob is entirely different and does not rely on tweaking the squirt to make the angles work.
True about original Shiskabob.
So you give a thumbs up to StD exactly as shown in these clips?
As shown in the clips, yes. Because of how he sets it up for the angles illustrated.
I'm not talking about working with it and figuring out your own unique reference points or pivots. That makes it your system, not Mike's StD. I've done this exact stuff years ago to get a feel for effects of english at varying distances with different cues, do I understand how you make it work by experimenting and repeating, iow.....rote.
