Master Instructor "Oyster" Academy of the Cueing Arts answers student email question on how-to compensate for cue shaft squirt using sidespin. Learn much more at this Award Winning Master Academy http://www.billiardinstruction.com
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?
@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!
@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.
Your movin 2 italy will u still have same website and everything I think I will just have 2 buy the dvds I really wanted to come but I wont be able by march
Never thought about this. What's the song that you used? I like it.
