high 3/4 ball black

i don't think so, angles don't change in boxes like that, would be more like a fan going out from the black.

This might help

So where is it wrong,please explain, this might explain why I struggle. These were exact angles but now I know from the aim frame explanation I was not accounting for throw. These shots from 1/4 1/2 3/4 should be the same no matter where they are on the table or have I got it totally wrong. I used to pot well 23 years ago using this method.
Look forward j6uk to where it's wrong, by the way great videos keep them up.

hi ricky, its a bit much to go into on one post but just checkout the table grid thread in the link above.
the videos are covering this as well, and glad your getting into it
why do you miss, are you hitting the ob where you intend?

J6uk thanks, I am struggling with cueing these days, tend to drop my elbow a lot, can't seem to play to the chest and keep elbow high like I did when I was younger so not striking accurate. Will keep watching your videos, good stuff

yeah it takes patients pratice and dedication to cue consistently well, even more so as you get a bit older. i miss many balls now that i wouldnt of done over a generation ago. but youve got a better chance if you keep the head still, cue from the elbow, and stay with the shot.. btw you could put up a vid yourself if you wanna show us where your at

thanks les, good to hear your enjoying the vids.
the black off the spot can be easy in practice but a bit of a nightmare in competition when you've already missed one or two. but doing the black routine really helps get to grips with all that im demonstrating

I will continue to work on the black. I did a little research last night while I was playing at my friends place where I play every Tuesday night and where I seem to play much better then at home and my confidence around the black is amazing. I measured his pockets at the fall and even though it is an old table the corners measured 3-9/16" compared to mine at 3-3/8" big difference.

yeah it takes time to really know the black and that back cushion.. as for pockets i never worry, as long as they stay in the same place
