Smooth Cue Action - Imagination

[Starsky]

UPDATE

I have been working on the PEN Dot to Dot cue action feel and despite getting some consistently I couldn’t quite get there! Results as follow (Each drill had 1,000 attempts)

Straight Long Blue Drill:
684/1000 | 30/30 achieved once

Medium Range Shots:
Straight: 856/1000
Angle 1/2 : 745/1000
Angle 1/3: 639/1000
Angle 1/4: 721/100

Short Shots:
Straight: 975/1000
Angle 1/2: 939/1000
Angle 1/3: 926/1000
Angle 1/4: 912/1000

Long Pots
Angle 1/2: 451/1000
Angle 1/3: 421/1000
Angle 1/4: 310/1000


I also gave a go at the Bow and Arrow feel but couldn’t quite get the hang of it after couple hours practice.

I have now decided to involve maths in the equation to help me pinpoint what exactly is going on and compare the perfect shots and momentum vs the normal game play and inconsistency.

I will be using a smart device to capture my hands and cue’s movement, speed and force as well as a sound wave software to capture when the impact takes place! Will collate this data and analyse it and will post findings. Expecting to run the test this week.

I can’t wait ….🙂

I'm beginning to like Neverstop, I hope we get to keep him.

I’m starting to think he will bang on about bog wood for cues soon

[Danger Steve]

Neverstop for a reason lol. 10,000 shots over 4 days is about normal, I have been able to do 12,000 within the same timeframe lol

With that rushed cue action I’m surprised you only managed 10,000 shots

[Danger Steve]

So let’s do the math… 10,000 shots over 4 days you say.

If you take a shot time of let’s go for 20 secs per shot? That’s 3 shots in 1 minute or 180 shots per hour! Let’s say you managed 12 hours a day? That’s 2160 per day X 4 days = 8640 shots

10,000? I think not

Angel ash is the best. lest we forget.

It's like the good old days I a nice bit of nostalgic eccentric posting.

I don't want you to get too excited just yet, we need to run some checks to ensure he doesn't already have an owner, then maybe we can adopt him.

I love that you know my shot time… You are a Genius!!!

For reference, my shot time 4.7 seconds add 2 seconds to align and get down to shot => 6.7 seconds per shot. Add 3 seconds for my partner to bring out the ball => 9.7 seconds ok I will round it up for you to 10 seconds.

10 shots in 1 minute
1000 shots in 100 minutes (
10000 shots in 1000 minutes => 16.7 hours

I actually spend 5 hours per day so that’s 20 hours.

Go back to your hole mate unless you have something positive to say.

Peace Out

do you set the balls up for each routine in approximately 0.00000001 seconds or do you own a time machine?

[tomwalker147]

Things are going great Steve, I realised how rubbish I was when I swapped a club table for a templated table with no undercut but I love it. I cue so much better and more accurate now. Still knocking balls into cushions but I'm looking good doing it.

Don't worry mate, i'm the same. Hadn't played on a Star table for 2 years, now started playing Steve on his table and the Aristocrats in the Stratford sports club and I look pathetic, totally different game but putting the work in to adjust.

10 seconds per shot and you have a partner picking balls out for 5 hours a day….. 😂😂😂

Stop! This is too much 😭😭

If Carlsberg made crack-pot forum members ….

[Cue crafty]

When Tin Cup tried tech....

[tomwalker147]

Went into similar technical detail on Saturday when telling Danger Steve I had a "lazy left foot".

[itsnoteasy]

So after all that we have learned you need to start slowly and accelerate through the ball, who knew!
