Billiard Aiming: How to Compensate for Spin

[if7084]

Never thought about this. What's the song that you used? I like it.

[BilliardInstruction]

@if7084 The song is Eternal Odyssey by Delerium

Assuming straight lines, if your cue is 6 diamonds from the rail and 5 diamonds from the ball, you need to scale the deflection offset down by about 5/6 = .83". Therefore, with the measured 2.25" deflection offset at 6 diamonds (Dufferin), a "transposed" offset of only 1.87" is necessary at 5 diamonds. Likewise, the .75" deflection (Predator) measurement should scale down to .62" near the contact point. Not insignificant, would you agree?

[BilliardInstruction]

@iralee3c Depending on the cue ball distance away from the target (OB) the margin of error can be significant when the distance is more than 3 diamonds and when using more than 3/4 tip left of right. More important here is to be consistent in the cue shaft you choose. The brain will do most of the subconscious compensating in time learned. On a professional table with pro pockets, spin compensations are very important...no matter any measurement. Great comment..thank you!

does anyone know wat a good brand is for que sticks?

[BilliardInstruction]

@stavysdaddy1118 There are 2 major sections of a cue. The shaft and the butt. (front and back) The Predator Z2 shaft currently has the lowest deflection/squirt ratio thus making the margin of error the smallest. As for the butt. There are a few characteristics that pertain to performance. A "why" analysis of the entire cue, performance, parts, etc. is shown on DVD #1 in excellent detail.

[BilliardInstruction]

@ki21826 BSACA School in Florida will be relocating to Italy in 2011. Last class in Florida is March 2011.

[ki21826]

So which would u perfer because I want 1 bad n I dont know which 1 2 get I play with a cuetech and its ok but I need a stiffer hit and smaller tip I just dont want 2 get 1 and its not what im lookin 4 because thier kinda expensive

[BilliardInstruction]

@ki21826 It all depends on your skill and knowledge level in the Cue Sports. The Z2 shaft is really a Professional Level Shaft.

[ki21826]

Is the predator 314 the same tip size as the Z and does it feel diffrent

[BilliardInstruction]

@ki21826 No. The Z2 shaft has an 11.75 mm tip and the 314 has a 12.75mm.

The 314 feels more solid because of the bigger sweet spot. However the z2 is more precise because the energy is more compact to a smaller point on contact.

cool vid

[ITler]

great videos...and nice music as well :)

where do you get this music from? it's very relaxing in all your videos.

[BilliardInstruction]

@ITler Thank -you...I have been practicing Yoga for a long time and much of the music I currently listen to is geared to the spiritual side. I have compiled over 15,000 songs in my Itunes library over many years. Some from my own cd's some from itunes. itunes Genius is great in finding new music. :-)

Namaste'

[ITler]

@BilliardInstruction

Ok, thanks for you answer. I love such music and also have a lot of this. I also came to it because of my spiritual practice. I'm more into tantra but the targets and so on are the same :) I think i have to use itunes more :D
