Sidespin on a snooker table both with and against the nap

[throtts]

WTF are you on about?

Pool tables..

Good evening.

[Hello, Mr Big Shot]

Ramon. 99% of people on here played pool before snooker as they were tall enough to play the silly game on the silly little table with massive bags.
I'm talking about competitive snooker. Selby was kicking around in the local leagues as a young lad, I know that because he drew against my dad in the Cov league as a 14 year old.

Erm, silly little tables with massive bags?

Oh , yeah !!
Well, that only leaves 1 percent who started the game with snooker than !!! wow !!!

That's why the "non helping" unpottable black is a bit of a red herring, imho.

Shots showing the CB not leaking(?) sideways from off straight type pots would be more relevant?

Yep I agree mate.

I use it a lot to stay on the correct side of the blue.
Simple shots, but very effective in keeping a break alive.

[travisbickle]

Yep, it's more about the CB, imho.

Is the correct answer Blahblah

[blahblah01]

There is so much more to SIT then potting balls that are not on.

Is to anyone with a modicum of knowledge, so that leaves out travis.

Looks like I'm straddling both camps then :wink:

[Hello, Mr Big Shot]

Oh no vmax, Travis is brilliant, just ask him. I mean brilliant at British pool, brilliant at snooker, brilliant to steal Robert DeNero's character's name from the movie Taxi, works full-time, must not sleep at all as he needs the time for practice I imagine. Maybe that's why his comments go on and on ad nausea, all about the same things? You'd think someone that brilliant could be a little creative and come up with something new.

He won't try my set-up because he says his is exactly the same, ignoring the gap between red and black. They won't change their tunes until we put up a video doing something they can't but in the meantime we have to read this garbage. Use the 'ignore' button like I did.

Lol.

Rather than waffling on about bollox bob, which no one with any sense gives a damn about, why don't you talk to us about the physics.

The physics, Tel.
The physics, Steve.

The physics.

Hello? Hello? Has anyone seen Terry or Steve recently? Hello?

This is what the two of you can't see

Is to me in the UK, too.

The standard American term of 'pivot' means the cue is first lined up on centre-ball and then pivoted to the side.

[Terry Davidson]

The bloke in the Dr. Dave videos pivots when applying side, cue parallel to the line of aim and it's different. Buy a cue and have a go yourself.



No he doesn't and neither do I. Trump addresses off centre to allow for a slight body movement on the delivery stroke, this was all worked out by me and shown to the forum a couple of years ago. Sure his cue pivots in his bridge hand on the delivery stroke but he doesn't address centre cue ball and then move the cue to apply side. He sometimes has to address outside the cue ball when applying extreme right hand side to compensate for his body movement, but the cue at the moment of impact with the cue ball is parallel to the line of aim.

You say I'm pivoting in my video but I'm not, that's simply compensating my aiming to allow for the deflection of the cue ball, in some shots I'm aiming to miss the pocket altogether because the cue ball deflects so much when striking it hard.
Again buy a cue and have a go yourself.

The standard American term of 'pivot' means the cue is first lined up on centre-ball and then pivoted to the side. In the case of Trump he lines up to the side and then pivots his cue to the centre which is his method of getting on the correct line. If you watch Ronnie closely you will see he moves forward a bit when he delivers the cue or at least he does in 2016 and 2017 but it's no pivot. Mark Selby moves side-to-side too but that's not a pivot either.
