[ceman]

Alright, now i just need to find a game that will let me shoot more than once on a missed shot so i can make the adjustment.

[carolynscaife]

That is the old school way of learning to be comfortable visually on the table with a bank or in some cases a kick shot it works trust me it works

[seanb]

Ok kids. So for those of you in the cheap seats that didn't catch it...
Practice?
Thanks for the secret👍

I must be more advanced than I thought. Because I recognized that first shot was off right away. And I knew he didn’t move the cue ball enough on the second shot. I straight shot with no English comes off the rail at the same angle it hit the rail.

[seansmith]

What’s the point of moving the cue ball when the point is to make the ball where tiger cue ball was

You don’t get to move cue ball in real pool so why practice that way

[TheGeonam]

He could have made the object ball the first time by adding right English to the cue ball. Right English would make the cue ball spin to the left and if your speed is a 5 you should make the shot. I don't understand him moving the cue ball over to find the correct angle. You should be able to find the correct angle by using the cue across the object ball to find the correct bank. I just shoot pool every day on my table and experiment with all types of angles I'm no professional at all.

[stevenroberts]

What secrets? You need to see the angle or you will have a tough time making bank shots? That must be the secret of the century. Thanks for the insight.

[temujinlong]

The key is adjustment for each shot attempting. Any shot is bankable if you visualize the track line and are creative is your shot making.
