NV B.81 - Bank and kick shot terminology and basics, from VEPS IV

[kay8x]

Does anyone get a link to download full VEPS? and free?

[DrDaveBilliards]

@kay8x

If there are such links, I would certainly want to know about them because they would be illegal and I would want to report them to proper authorities. Posting, hosting, and downloading Copyright-protected media is a violation of Federal Law.

@DrDaveBilliards Typically, I disagree with opinions like yours, because generally, I read them regarding music, TV shows, movies, etc..With this film, somebody CLEARLY took there TIME and KNOWLEDGE and applied it in a way to help and educate others..and you could completely apply this to anything else I previously stated..Either way, ill continue to listen to free music when I can, but if I see your video floating the web, ill be sure to let you know. Thanks for the upload!

[DrDaveBilliards]

@upullmein

@147andreluiz

I'm glad you like the vid. Please help spread the word about my stuff.

[bogdychamp]

This video is very usefull.Thanks a lot, although the calculations are very hard

[DrDaveBilliards]

@bogdychamp

The calculations get easier with practice ... like anything.

[littlemrtrickster]

oh come on all this math!

[DrDaveBilliards]

@littlemrtrickster

You're right ... 2 x 1 = 2 is too much math! :)

If a little simple math can help some people make shots they might miss otherwise, then the math is good.

[LewchiShelltaya]

I really like all the vids I've seen here. However, is there a point where this knowledge sinks in enough to just remember on the fly? I don't think most people are going to be laying down sticks and measuring etc. The math here is sound. But is all of this this best way to learn to play the game?

[DrDaveBilliards]

@LewchiShelltaya

Some people will want to aim kick and bank shots strictly intuitively, based on many years of practice and successful experience. And some people refuse to use any "aiming systems" at all. But these systems can help some people, especially the people who don't yet have the intuition created by years of experience.

great video.

[DrDaveBilliards]

@PhilDesigns

Thanks.

[217matei]

SUPER, I UNDERSTOOD!

@rhmsr63

You're welcome. Please help spread the word about VEPS.

[jay121222]

confusing :/



[DrDaveBilliards]

@jay121222

... then get the DVD. :)

just kidding. If you want more info, illustrations, and examples, I have a lot of stuff posted under "banks and kicks" in the FAQ section of my billiards DOT colostate website.

[omahenk]

this stuff is awsome

[DrDaveBilliards]

@omahenk

Thanks! Please help spread the word about my vids, website, and instructional products.

[ProdigyKimXP]

good tips but these have never worked for me. I have my own set of methods to aim banks and kicks but anything involving math has never helped me at the table, even something as simple as this. It's too much for me to think about while I'm actually playing.

[DrDaveBilliards]

@ProdigyKimXP

You certainly don't need any "systems" to be a top banker, but "systems" and understanding of all kick and bank effects can certainly help many people.

Thank you for you comments,

Dr. Dave

[Minhbee18]
