So in theory, you can use maximum spin induced throw to make both the wing ball and the 1 in a 9 ball break with the 9 on the spot?
@DrDaveBilliards
@DrDaveBilliards 2 години тому
The 1 is easy to pocket reliably, but with the 9-on-the-spot cut break, too many balls get in the way of the wing ball going. For more info, see the videos and info here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/break/9-ball
@2colossery
@2colossery 2 години тому
@DrDaveBilliards But I mean in theory, if you clear the 2 balls that tend to interfere with the wing ball through speed and timing. With a natural hit the wing ball goes high, but based on what you showed in this video, wouldn't it be possible to spin throw the wing ball down?
@DrDaveBilliards
@DrDaveBilliards 41 хвилина тому
@@2colossery Spin does not transfer through multiple balls very much. Pretty much all the spin is gone before reaching the 3rd ball. The amount of cut on the 1 determines the wing-ball angle.

Thanks, Dr. Dave! This is something that I can never seem to convince people of. But, I can see why they are reluctant to believe it because there is something I have a hard time understanding about it. Maybe you can help me with this: It seems contradictory to me that spin (left or right) alters the path of the OB but does not alter the path of the cue ball. I watched the follow up video too. And the fact that CIS does not alter the path of the cue ball is especially surprising because it seems to be essentially the same as the spin imparted to the OB (which does alter the path of the OB). I *believe* it. But I would like to understand it intuitively (in terms of physics).
@DrDaveBilliards
@DrDaveBilliards 2 години тому
The sidespin rubs on the OB sideways creating throw off line; but the equal and opposite rub on the CB is in the tangent line direction (the direction the CB is already heading), so it doesn't change the CB direction.

I had been struggling with aiming using English. I partly knew about BHE and had tried it but now from your video found out my “natural” bridge length was slightly (mayb 1-2”) too short. I found it easily even without a mark on the cue by stop shot testing you show. Suddenly it was like a whole world of position was unlocked for me, I was positioning way better. I did note, as you mention this is for fast (even length of the long end) or short shots. Going to check out when to use FHE from your other videos. Also wondering if many also use parallel cue position to shoot with English?

The bonus rack between Mika and Efren was a treat. It reminds me of the quote I use (Cypher from the Matrix): When you see an agent, you do what we do. You run (out). I am curious at what difference in skill level this idea starts and stops working. I usually give the advice to players between 75-100 fargo points lower than me, if I believe their fargo is accurate. I am lucky enough to be in an area with some great players, and I follow this advice when someone is over 640 fargo, compared to my 595-605 range. It's never good to get into a moving battle with someone that much higher in skill, because they usually out move you by a big margin. It would be interesting to see a video talking about this concept. small edit* Mika and Efren are much closer in skill of course, and it wouldn't be surprising to see mika win the rack, even with a safety battle during it. I wasn't intending to downplay Mika at all, only saying that Efren does just kick that good.

I know that it is generally understood that the cue ball spin does not affect the path of the cue ball immediately after contact as the cue ball will always travel along its tangent line the instant after contact. However, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Just as the cue ball's spin rate is reduced slightly as a reaction to the spin transfer on the object ball, wouldn't Newton's third law of motion require the cue ball to be "thrown" slightly off line in the opposite direction of the direction that the object ball is thrown due to the friction force between the two balls? In this video of the straight on shot, as the object ball is thrown to the left, it seems that the cue ball is ever so slightly thrown to the right. It would be extremely minimal, but speaking in terms of physics, wouldn't this be true?
@DrDaveBilliards
@DrDaveBilliards 3 дні тому
Yes. The CB feels an equal and opposite reaction to the throw effects on the OB. See these two videos: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/iXFoeq-KbaqIxY0.html ukposts.info/have/v-deo/cYSgn5eFZ52ZtHU.html They cover the topic in detail, including how it affects (or doesn't affect) pool shots.
