What is force follow?

[sjm]

When you have the Wei Table picture on your screen, just press and hold the shift key while pressing the 'PrtSc' Print Screen key.

Then open a drawing program such as Paintbrush which is on most computers already, and select edit then paste. The whole screen image will be pasted. The select the area you want for your picture. Make a rectangle around this and select 'edit' then 'copy'.

Open a new image and paste this smaller part. Then save this as a picture.

To add this picture to a thread here, click on the 'manage attachments' button and browse for the pic and upload it.

Good luck

Thank you, Colin. Sounds like I should be able to pull it off.

Nostroke,
When you save the file. Change the extension type to .jpeg or .gif

Seems you saved it as .bmp file which is very large.

Quite right, Colin. I was successful when I used the JPG file format saving the file on the Paintbrush program. Thanks for all the help.

Or, maybe you were kidding.

No, I wasn't kidding, nor do I really believe that terminology doesn't matter. I was just trying to discuss a useful shot, without trying to tell the world that I know everything.

Different folks around the world use different terms. I recently played a kid in Tokyo who couldn't speak english. We still had a fun match, and understood which shots were difficult and well done.

Well, OK, if you're trying to document word useage -- like Shamos does in his Illustrated Encyclopedia of Billiards -- ...

I finally remembered to see if Shamos has an entry for this, and he does, along with a reference from about 100 years ago. I don't have the exact words, but it was basically a power follow through the ball, especially when the cue ball is close to the object ball. Force draw is similar.
See this book price comparison for some very good deals on the "Illustrated Encyclopedia."
