Ralph Eckert explains Bank Shot Reference Line

[sillysimon]

YES! Best examples of bank shots I've seen. So well described.
I'm so tired of hearing, "angle in equals angle out".
What a great video.
Such a calm, pleasant, teaching voice too.
Cannot wait to see more.

GREATEST TEACHER EVER!!! How the heck are there 74 "dislikes"? Only worse teachers could have "disliked" any of this guy's vids!!!

[danielpincus]

Ralph is such a great spokesman for the game.

[ChristopherBriscoe]

Finally, thanks to you, I understand how to make the shot.

@Rickbearcat. You're making perfect sense. I test tables as much as I can for all of my banking systems and one/two/three/four rail kicking systems. I have to find my "table adjustment number" for any of the systems to work, and I use as many of the baseline tracks as possible in order to gauge my adjustments. Every system will have a different adjustment in diamond segments.

I remember in one of Tommy Kennedy's tournaments, I had an opportunity to practice a bit on a particular table between matches. All I did was test systems instead of pocketing balls, and I quickly found that the table was playing exactly 4 units short (in diamonds being broken down into 10 increments) on the standard three rail Corner 5 system. My opponent got the roll from hell on a miss and pinched me between two balls with only a narrow path to shoot down. My object ball was sitting on the long rail near the corner about a diamond away, and my only open path was to come at it three rails. He had this poop eating grin on his face after his fortunate hook, and I turned around to a friend standing on the rail in back of me watching and said with the utmost confidence, "Watch this. I'm going to make this ball." I kicked three rails and cut the ball in, ran the rack, and ended up winning the match because it turned the entire match around. I would have never came close to hitting the ball good if I hadn't tested the table prior to that match which ended up being played on the same table.

Best bank shot instruction video I've seen on you tube. Thanks

[gmanxx]

This was extremely helpful! I'm going to try this out. Thanks for posting. This guy is great!

[pac-man-ooo]

U know how to teach when i ask people they always say it depend on how u hit, true but i just want to know the reference line from center ball hit so i can make adjustment and ur videos answer all the question for basic to advance great videos

[davids]

Very good helpful lesson on banking Ralph, thanks.

[Rickbearcat]

This is a great lesson Ralph, thank you. I think you should mention that this should be part of a practice routine before playing in a tournament on tables that you are not familiar with. Actually, I think that you should put together a video of shots on what types of shots we should play before meeting an opponent before a match starts. Am I making any sense here? Hope that I am. If you need any clarification, write me back.

Hello Ralph... very well done of explaining your banking system...
I have a few questions which will help to understand the shots better...
1. Do you use any English/Spin at all on those shots? If so, how much do you use when banking?
2. What if the cue ball is not lined up on the tract? or Cue Ball is on either the right side or left side of
the Object Ball going to pocket you want the ball to go in?
3. I see you hit the banks with very firm speed... is there a method that the farther away
the ball is away from the pocket the firmer you hit it? & Also, on a scale of 1-10 what speed?
I think many would like another more detailed video. Beside you do such a great job!!! :-)
Thanks so much for all you do!!!

[SwtTrisha]

Sounds quite interesting and going to try it later. Was wondering if the parallel shift would work if it’s lined up an inch or two off?

[TheEnneagram]

Great video, very useful. Most bank videos suck and teach nothing, but not this one. Thx.

[allgood]

Nice and a big help... I use a table with NO diamonds...so you have to "see" in 4D.. thanks👍🇳🇿🎱

[YouKenGetFit]

Thank you for this lesson. This will help me a lot in my game. Cheers!

[tonyrobles]

Great video Ralph! Very Accurate! I definitely learned something! Keep up the great work buddy! =)

[dazeboy]

Thanks for the info!! Is the system the same on 7', 8', & 9' tables??

[Poolstage]

No that is not a Pechaur cue. It is a Arthur Queue. Arthur Queue ( Markus Dienst) is one of the best cue makers in the world. The most expensive cue called Ikarus was made by Arthur Queue.
