What do people think of Roy Chisholm's Snooker Secrets?

And playing above centre on the cue ball, I can't swerve the cue ball with a flat cue hitting the top of the ball, can anyone else?

It would be impossible to swerve a ball that close to the OB that much, with a 13mm hard pool tip remember. Impossible. Nope, that's extreme side xfer as plain as day. Great shot (cue those who simply don't understand this concept and could never play the shot but do have a pub explanation! lol).

We can't say it doesn't happen because we can't do it....

That's why I was asking if anyone can do it. As I said before if anyone has proof , I put Dr Daves email up , write to him and tell him he's wrong and you can prove it, explain your reasons and see how you get on ,everything else is pointless. Anyone can write to the man with the PhD in mechanical engineering, who teaches courses in what happens when balls collide at a university and tell him he's clueless, best of luck

Yes, but you don't want a hard tip and use lots of chalk if you're up at 11 o'clock. Raise the bridge hand and keep the cue level (although I note this guy used the cushion for his bridge)

I will try this Terry although I don't have a soft tip on, it will probably be softer than what he has on his pool cue . With just a stroke shot like that I am really surprised it can be done, I thought you had to tilt the cue ball and have it spinning at that certain angle to get it to come back on line after the initial deflection from the cue, how do you get it to tilt when playing up at 11 o'clock with a flat cue? Raising the butt and hitting down yes but up at 11 with a flat smooth stroke does surprise me.

I would never say he's clueless, I was just commenting on that particular example.

Yeh I was only joking there Pat, sorry if it came across wrong.

Looking at the second photo I see both the cueball and OB centered on the straight line and lined up to the pocket. Do you not see that?

It does look that way ...I'd say he set it up with more space to get through than he intended as I just cant see it being possible to swerve around that ball being as close as it is ....especially with his cue parallel to the table .

I linked the video more for the way he describes what is happening verbally

Tip hardness makes no difference. This shot is bread and butter for pool players - you lot are quite unbelievable.

As oma said on the other thread, how is this even a thing?

Get you eyes checked.

I'm afraid not mate. Pause the Wilson vid at point of contact and it's definitely not hitting BOB to pot it. I use this shot all the time and like I said to Reg - I don't get how many of you don't believe this happens

I've posted my video now you post yours.

Yeah, publish your counter knowledge of Dr. Dave's scientific theories then, disproving what he says in peer reviewed journals, not just hearsay. He's used a lot of kit and analysis to reach his conclusions.

And most of his videos use plants and sets to show his spin theories, discounting the squeeze/push effect that creates the same without the use of sidespin at all.

Maybe ....but impressive to swerve around a ball that close the the CB with the cue butt not elevated

Not impressive at all, just the way the cue ball naturally behaves when loaded with sidespin.

Yes you can you just don't realise it.

There's none so blind as those who will not see. Why are you back here again, done the rounds and got thrown off all the other forums whose subjects you claim expertise to? Show us your video again, the one where you play a 24 foot screw shot with no one in the picture

No comment. Now I know why you see things that aren't there or ignore things that are there.

[Byrom]

Is this still going on.... back n forth reminds me of this...

Man, you are soooo ignorant!

I'm sure the penny will drop for you one day. In the meantime, keep making yourself look foolish - be in no doubt that those of us who understand such matters are greatly amused.

We were all ignorant once.
