Sidespin on a snooker table both with and against the nap

What is the actual point to the thread?

Is it the old transferring side debate?

[Terry Davidson]

think I did it? vid uploading... not sure.

window has been open all day, cloth feels heavy

That was weird. Are you pulling our leg? No video was there.

[markz]

I'll show you the rest of the vid if I pop over this week...

Donna had a go... the camera angle was excellent if you catch my drift, lol

Hahaha, no wonder you're not getting to play these days. You got your hands full lol

[Terry Davidson]

Because you think that the only way to pot a ball is if you hit the BOB. We all know that plants can be made if they aren't lined up with the pocket and not touching the BOB

I agree and I play those shots all the time myself. In a single OB scenario the only way to pot a ball is to hit BOB but with a plant or a 4-ball combo through the pack you can't hit BOB can you? The OB moves in a straight line away from the point of contact and nothing alters that despite what you think you see in all these videos big shot puts up (and he thinks I don't look at them but when you put them through a frame-by-frame analysis the cueball hits the OB right at BOB every time but with side the CB comes in at a different angle and arcs across the OB but still contact BOB).

It was your message on fb earlier, mate... made me itch

That's some timing to play at that power with so much action on cue ball. To do that cold is just daft. It's witchcraft lol

Yeah... you still hear Terry's name pop up around here.

I don't even know big shot's real name.

speaks volumes x

[Terry Davidson]

that one where you slam a baulk colour in the middle hit down at 7 o clock on the white screwing with side off the top cushion and side rail back down to the middle of table in between blue and pink area

Actually bottom cushion in correct terminology. But thank you for attempting to set big shot straight about my record. pottr being from Nuneaton is quite familiar with my snooker record from when I played in Glenfield (Leicester).

Haha... not married but she is much better looking than me.

As MarkZ says... It's a wonder I ever get any practice with her about

I was gonna get an Aston actually but my dog wouldn't fit in it. I have a new E Class Saloon... Really happy with it too.

[Terry Davidson]

I would love to see you do the shot on the baulk colours into the middle with screw/side, but I won't hold my breath

I have done it many times but right now my table is too slow to get down to near the pink area so I have to hit it pretty hard and the middle pockets won't take the speed because the rubber has been cut back.

[markz]

haha, judge for yourself... no edits

That's without picking up your cue in ages and telling me you were thinking of hanging your bat up. Just need to do the shot where object ball swerves another ball and in to pocket now lol

Just in line with the pink or just shy...

On a star table I could get on the black cushion no problem

[Terry Davidson]

For the love of god can people stop talking about side transfer? We are not, nor have we ever been, talking about side blooody transfer. Give me strength...it's like talking to 2 year olds!

But, as you mention it, side transfer does exist but not in a way that will affect the path of the object ball. It's value is primarily in terms of adding check or running side to the object ball when it hits a cushion; so, useful for doubles and safeties.

Video evidence of side transfer provided below - can you actually watch it this time? It's rather frustrating going to the time and trouble of finding videos you clearly don't bother to watch.

And lol at your 10 pack in competition. I've seen you play and not a chance.

I was asking you about the 10 racks since you say you're a good pool player. I've run centuries at snooker and it's been in Snooker Scene.

nice...lovely table/snooker room you have ... now just tell me you are married to a model and drive a Aston Martin and I will never speak to you again
