Sorto String #4. perfect.

The Sorto String done almost perfectly, staying in line for good position by keeping the cue ball about 1 diamond off the side rail, not going too far up-table, etc.

What are the white dots on the table? Markers?

[fastmikie69]

Yes, the white dots are easily removed self adhesive reinforcement labels made by Avery. Very handy for marking positions for drills.

When doing this drill on my home table my cueball always ends up too far on the last four balls. Is Right English with follow holding the rebound angle of your cueball here? Thank you for posting this.

[fastmikie69]

Yes, just a touch of inside english (right, in this case) will have two effects: first of all, as you say, it will straighten out the rebound off the foot cushion, keeping the cue ball from going to the long rail (a foul in this drill). The second effect of inside english is to slightly kill the speed, so you don't have to baby the shot as much.

Great execution fastmikie.... I'm gonna take note of it for my own training and my blog. I've done a similar drill but only with draw, without banks... as I said, great.

Thank you
