Luat-Bank Shot

This is the shot Luat made against Cole Dickson at the DCC 2010. I put it up to show DonkeyPuncher on AZB's forums that the shot can be made with inside english.

Need to to level my table. Got a little roll off heading to the the corner! :-)

@jbideastoo A fun bank insofar as it's more feel than aim, as there's little to "see" in terms of how much thicker or thinner one hits the ball - much less than the deflection one gets shooting the ball at a medium-plus speed, which is why it seems easier to hit the ball thin with inside English. With running English, one would have to aim to almost miss the ball on the right side to compensate for deflection, which makes the actual thickness or thinness of the cut very tough to judge.

@jbideastoo Thought so too, already on the first bank, even more so on some slower attempts later - quite a roll-off in fact!
