Sidespin on a snooker table both with and against the nap

[travisbickle]

I think if we all ( you and me and Travis ) admit that Terry&Vmax both are right and we are wrong , we may be able to put a end to this tragedy ?
Just to give it a break ?
I've been busy with work and I did'nt got the chance read it all . just got the chance to read few pages and i notice he even does'nt pay attention to what J6 says.
When it comes to snooker, no one can be as clear as J6 imo.
And that says something .

Just a suggestion !!

Sorry Ramon. But they haven't got a clue I'm afraid lol

No, if you shoot the shot slow you overcome the 2mm of CB throw you initially get. For goodness sakes man, on your own shot on your earlier video on the pink you used RH side to throw the CB left and then spin a bit right to overcome the throw.

Think about this then...if you removed the intervening red and played the shot EXACTLY the same way you would use RH side and pot the pink. vmax challenged you to use LH side but he knew you couldn't pot the pink as you would hit the red. In this case if you removed the red and used LH side your aim would be completely different. Look again at your own video (or pottr's or j6's) and you can see you used 'inside side' and since you didn't hit the red it's as if the red isn't there.

It's inside side all the way for shots where you want to hold the CB. There's no possible other answer but prove me wrong when you get home and play exactly the same shot with no intervening red but use your left hand side. You would have to aim off to the right to compensate for CB throw however if you used LH with drag the aiming point would be very close to centre-ball depending on how much side and speed you used.

On that video you said your intent was to hold the CB a bit and have it roll straight through for a red and you used INSIDE side.

Exactly. Right hand side to go left and vice versa. j6/Pottr is a similar shot but on the other side of the pink

@ pottr, sweet ..

@ travis, I give it a go tomoz ..

[travisbickle]

Only you sunshine. See my challenge and then blame it on the commentators you watch on TV as this who string is their fault. It absolutely has to be inside stuff to (as you and j6 say) to 'straighten the CB'. Actually you are curving the CB as every video, even your own, has shown (the one with the lines shows it best).

If you can pot a 3/4-black from the green side with cueball closer to pink area than top cushion and hold the cueball absolutely still then I'l say you're absolutely correct Travis and I owe you an apology, but put a video up first as I would have to see this proof.

I will. This is all to easy :biggrin-new:

I took em down... gonna re record with a steadier camera hand and clearer dialogue

Played the 3/4 black off its spot with the CB around 14" away.

Firstly, I played it green ball side striking the CB at 7 o'clock 6 times. Potted it every time and the nearest I could hold the CB to the black spot was a ball width away. So it held pretty well.

Secondly, I played it green ball side, again, striking the CB at 5 o'clock 6 times. Potted it every time single time but the CB ran on around 5 inches on all attempts. So it didn't hold nearly as well.

Played the shots above at the start of my practice but my timing / lose grip felt good. Hit the CB softly so they were draggy shots, black easily reached the pocket too.

J6 or pottr , have a go the same side as me when you get time to see what you come up with. I am playing with my old Cue Craft Mirage at the mo, cost me 60 notes 25 year ago. The JP is in for repair.:snooker:

If the black is a low black i.e. CB heading towards pink on the green side of the table, play it with right hand side full ball

Bloody thing will not play now, buddy.

Wanted another peek.

NO,, not at your boxers..Hahaha..

[travisbickle]

Absolute BOLLOCKS!!! The freaking CB will throw to the right and hit BOB for goodness sakes and make the pot but will NEVER hold the spot using helping side. It's impossible and all you're doing is confusing players on here who are anxious to try the SIT stuff.

BS has already said SIT disappears with more power, you need the high spin and low power usually with drag.

I am now really doubting your snooker abilities. Maybe physics is different with pool.

It really is shocking how much you know about this stuff Tel, it really is. I'm lost for words!

No... biggie took my quote and then said my memory was wrong.

it isn't

Glad you enjoyed my boxers... I am an insult to genetics

[throtts]

please don't try and tell me otherwise, I was the one who played it!

Who, me?.

I am not doubting at all. But my blacks above gave the results above with me and showed me the RHS returned me a lose CB..

I have another go tomoz. Not doubting my previous strikes on the CB though..

Nice boxers in the vid too, mucker xx

No... my first shot was right hand side.

second which lost the white was left...

please don't try and tell me otherwise, I was the one who played it!

I try to see how much I can hold the CB later on 12" distant shot..

Played the 3/4 black off its spot with the CB around 14" away.

Firstly, I played it green ball side striking the CB at 7 o'clock 6 times. Potted it every time and the nearest I could hold the CB to the black spot was a ball width away. So it held pretty well.

[Hello, Mr Big Shot]

My shot was played with right hand side

Which one?

The first shot, which was on the black, was firstly played with left hand side, which held the cue ball, then with right hand side, which lost the cue ball. This was all entirely predictable.

The second shot, your Uri Gellar impersonation, was played with right hand side.

Sadly, i fear Terry has been crowing, despite being wrong. Again.

[Hello, Mr Big Shot]

Holy Moly,

I getting confused from some of the above. WTF is going on.
