can u beat the "magician" using this principle.

[forcefollow]

That would be a quick "no." But this is some of the things that are a part of his game.

you didnt say how you would hit the cue ball to position the cue ball in the wedges, you just said that you would make the cue ball land in the wedges. we know that ideally you want the cue ball to land in that area, what we don't know is how to make the cue ball land in that area...

you could practice for 18 hours a day for 10 years, but if you do not know the principles behind what you are trying to do, you can get smoked by someone who does know the principles and practices half as much

EXCELLENT DEMONSTRATION. tHANX.

Very good video for starting discussion. Looking forward to your "principles of cat skinning."

bullshit things to know...dude get a better lesson than that "principles"...even kids knows what the position will its just they dont know how to control the cue ball yet...but once u know how to control the cue ball "the speed" "draw, stop & follow up...u dont need no principles like that...its better to learn how to control the cue ball and pocketing than that principles....

@elkemolider Very nice.

@tong2thong

That is going to greatly depend from shot to shot. Ideally you would leave yourself with an angle which would allow you to use a center ball strike on the cue ball. If you're interested, forcefollow has a good video on tangent lines just do a search for "forcefollow tangent lines" and also check out "FargoBilliards cue ball control"

Also, big thanks to forcefollow for all the informative videos.

Best of luck!

@gateopenope Im assuming youre playing 8 ball. That's generally a good idea but sometimes it's harder to hit the balls in the order you want. Learning how to play position and taking what the table gives you will be the most effective way in the long run. If it's easier to hit balls closer to the 8 first, get the further ones later and then play position back to the 8, that's probably the best way. It may be harder to hit the further balls first but it is ideal.

ur table looks so small maybe caz its overhead
