TWO-RAIL KICKS … Everything You Need to Know

[goin2bepro]

Sorry

If you can't figure this out without a youtube video....you're a moron.

​

FYI, I just posted a new video demonstrating a very useful system for aiming two-rail kick shot called the midpoint-parallel-shift system. Unlike with many kick shot diamond systems, it works for any CB and OB locations on the table, and it doesn’t matter which rail you hit first. The best thing of all is no diamonds or diamond numbering or calculations are required. Check it out:

I agree that people "could" figure this stuff out on their own. But there aren't many that actually "would." That doesn't make them morons. Not everybody has the patience and analytical mind necessary to figure out and separate all the effects and factors.

Dave, this is awesome. I have system but it fades in certain areas, especially in the open table. Yours really helps me..Many thanks.

When someone takes the time to put information like this out for free should be appreciated by everyone even if you don’t use it. Thanks DR.Dave

You should tell that to the YouTube trolls. It used to bother me when people clicked on the thumbs-down button on a video that I worked hard on and thought was good stuff (and free). Now I just have pity for them (and the people in their lives), realizing the type of people they must be.

Thanks DR.Dave

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Best regards,
Dave

Outstanding!!

Dr Dave,

Outstanding and simple to use! Made two crowd impressing safety escapes in league play this week using it!

Your info is always outstanding, but sometimes the calculations are tough to remember and use in a game situation without hours of familiarization and practice. This works like a champ after a few practice shots!!

Thanks for this and all you do for our sport!!
