getting through the ball

[pottr]

Those Trump shots down the cushion are wonderful pots.

But they're not what I would say highlights how well he can screw the ball back.

The side taking from the cushion is where most of the effect is generated.

Haha, back to the little table pool player!

try again
have not played pool for this season, taking time out, playing lots of snooker as I normally do.

Must be those old clocks in the black country, get a quartz bud. :highly_amused:

I lost the keys so can't wind them up. Any chance you could help, you seem good at winding up everyone on here

I'll give you that. When the ball is half way down the cushion, a wee bit off and he uses reverse side and screw. Yep, that's the daddy.

2723 miles according to google, small country lol

Yeah, I think that is classed as miles away lol. Enjoyed watching your three videos, you can certainly generate plenty of action on the cue ball and make it look easy.

[Philthepockets]

Is there a link to any science on how tightly cue is gripped? This surely changes the weight transfer. Judds specials in slow mo, the grip is so light at impact the cue bounces off all over the place....

The problem with making the power stroke is avoiding tightening the grip too much but also not throwing the cue past table 16, but you need to keep the grip/wrist relaxed enough to avoid the tip rising at contact or pulling the cue off line. You'er letting the cue do the work.

On fast heated tables with new No10 it is not that hard, the common issue is not striking where you think, try some shots looking at the cue ball and see the reaction you get when you really do hit down low.

[Philthepockets]

Weight of cue will affect your timing , only slightly, lighter cue accelerate faster but less weight to go through the ball, heavier cue will take longer to get to the same speed but will have more weight to affect the ball, so with the same length backswing and the same power it will be going slower at the contact point,you can of course time it well with any cue but they will be slightly different.
Phillthepockets, is that a club in Canada?

Yes that club was here

[itsnoteasy]

is the first time I hear about a cue (piece of wood) , which can make a decision for a human an tell him what to do . impressive !!

To get something heavier to reach the same speed it takes more applied force, more force= Different timing, does it not?

[itsnoteasy]

I know the one. He also set a routine for people to try that was so tricky a 4x maxi player couldn't complete. And then myself and others posted videos of doing it easily!

Do you remember what that thread was called GG, wouldn't mind a read at it, cheers.

Sorry to swamp this thread but I got distracted before lol. I couldn't get anywhere near this shot, but it did show up a lot of flaws in my cueing at pace over that distance, the best I could do with any type of accuracy was red between blue and pink spot( a bit nearer the blue) and cue ball back to baulk, waste of time even mentioning anything further away.
Club balls, club cloth , dirty table , not brushed blocked or ironed.
Cheers GG.
