There still seems to be skepticism regarding the BSC so I wanted to crunch some numbers and share them with anyone that would take the time. I posted these numbers on an earlier thread and decided they’re worthy of their own title. I will start with the rail ticks and the counter, which counts 1/16th of one diamond. That’s 16 position points per diamond in each direction. So let’s do the math.
16 x 16 = 256 positions per grid square
256 x 32 grid squares = 8192 position points on the playing surface, that’s 8192 per object ball and 8192 per cue ball.
8192 x 8192 = 67,108,864
Different two ball position combinations. So place the object ball at one point on the table the cue ball at the other 8191 positions and when you’re done move the object ball to another location and start over. Currently the BSC only provides four shot types, three speeds and three English selections. So just with those numbers we could say:
67108864 x the Basic Bank Shot with no options = 67108864 however there are often times multiple rail choices to bank off of from a single two ball position combination. I will concede these to keep things simple.
67108864 x Advanced Bank Shot (9) combinations with speed and English options = 603,979,776
shot possibilities and we haven’t started kicking yet. Add all the one rail and two rail kick shot possibilities and this number continues to grow. The beauty of this process allows you to decide what you want to look at, study over and practice.
You may be wondering how I can make such a claim. It’s just logic. We programmed the logic into the devise and the magnitude of possibilities became staggering. Once I’ve created the Droid version I will continue to upgrade with more shot types. We patented the logic and the logic works on all the shots in pool. Even those that seem to defy the logic can be programmed with the right formula, and we have the formulas. I should also note in pool all things are relative. This means if playing on a table the nets two diamonds deflection in 4.5' the object ball will deflect 25% of that or 1/2 diamond. Therefore if you find yourself on a dirty bar box that nets 3 diamonds in 3.5' with the cue ball then expect .75 diamond on the object ball and make the necessary adjustments.
When I hear someone ask App or DVD, which should I get? I’m reminded of Swiss watch conglomerates when the Japanese came out with the quartz. You can’t make a watch without gears and springs were the notion. I ware the Swiss watch when I’m going out because it looks good and comes from the masters, but the quartz has accompanied me on many cold night dive under some pretty big Navy ships. Get the DVDs, they come from the masters. I could never teach you what they can. Get the app and use it to help you remember. I priced it right just for that reason.
I welcome the dialog this forum brings, and appreciate the necessity you all assume for keeping me honest. I am a Retired Navy SEAL. My exploits are on record and I make no false claims. Like most of you out there I detest those who do. I showed my app to everyone at the DCC I could convince to take the time. No slouches there I assure you and I received no negative feedback. In fact it was quite the opposite and I invite anyone who saw it to join this conversation. This project is the culmination of a lifetime of acquired knowledge, acquired from books, DVDs, lessons, and hard knocks. Because so many people taught me so many things I should probably share the credit. But alas, it was my idea. I’ve spent the last ten years bringing it to you. And, I hope you like it.
