    Hey Dr. dave, I'm not sure if you did this one. What if in 9balls - 8 and 9 is the opposite end from one another. 8 closer to the rail near the corner pocket and 9 ball on the end rail toward the middle against the rail. While cue ball is in the middle of the table. What would you do?

      When I switched, only the 12.4 was available, and I liked that the CB deflection was the same as my previous Z2 (so I wouldn’t need to change how I aimed with sidespin). Although, with SAWS, I can now easily recalibrate and aim accurately with any cue: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/sidespin/aim/saws/

    @adamshorthouse7171 День тому

    I know that it is generally understood that the cue ball spin does not affect the path of the cue ball immediately after contact as the cue ball will always travel along its tangent line the instant after contact. However, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Just as the cue ball's spin rate is reduced slightly as a reaction to the spin transfer on the object ball, wouldn't Newton's third law of motion require the cue ball to be "thrown" slightly off line in the opposite direction of the direction that the object ball is thrown due to the friction force between the two balls? In this video of the straight on shot, as the object ball is thrown to the left, it seems that the cue ball is ever so slightly thrown to the right. It would be extremely minimal, but speaking in terms of physics, wouldn't this be true?

    • @DrDaveBilliards
      @DrDaveBilliards День тому

      Yes. The CB feels an equal and opposite reaction to the throw effects on the OB. See these two videos: ua-cam.com/video/QA7FyS6tWdY/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/9TokaN0ghSA/v-deo.html They cover the topic in detail, including how it affects (or doesn't affect) pool shots.

    This can work without impact. It doesn't slide because the weight of the woodpecker creates a moment which locks it due to the friction, during the oscillation that force is removed and the sleeve can momentarily fall. There are a lot of similar mechanisms that use this locking method such as some wood working clamps, this is how they get coarse adjustment before tightening.

I dont see how it could be a problem since there are no ferrules on Revos. Low Deflection shafts that have ferrules are at risk of breaking with massés. Also the 11.8mm type is quite big for carom, even for 3-cushions.

    "oh I play regular rules, same as anyone" And then they proceed to be inconsistent, use scoop shots, hit your ball first, play on the kitchen etc. I hate playing in a bar, and more so when you can tell they've had "enough" to drink.

      I wouldn't call "bar rules" "regular." Any decent player in a bar should want to play under "official rules:" ua-cam.com/video/c-4URzvawhs/v-deo.html

      @@andrewgonzalez7143 it is a bit odd that some people are not willing to play the game under the official rules. Most people are usually willing to play most games under their actual rules. Go figure.

    I recently adjusted my stance because my forearm was not vertical or in the shot line. Is it normal for my playing to have worsened by a lot? Will it profit in the long-run? I am not sure how important keeping your forearm vertical and in the shot line is.

      Any change can cause worse play at first, but a vertical forearm (with a still shoulder and elbow during the stroke into the ball) can definitely help.
