Thanks

+AuAulobodemar This topic is covered in detail, with numerous videos and instructional articles here: //billiards.colostate.edu/threads/aiming.html#compensationand on the "How To Aim Pool Shots (HAPS)" series here: //dr-dave-billiards.com/aiming

+DrDaveBilliards .....and self diagnosis is usually bad. Nobody wants to think about fundamental issues when they're playing (or gambling) in my ca$e...!!

+Anubhav UD The best thing you can do is to find an experienced and qualified instructor to work with you on your game. There could be 100 different things that could be holding you back. Usually, fundamentals are the culprit. You can try to self-diagnose some of this stuff, but an experience instructor will be so much better at this. Some info and useful resources can be found here: //billiards.colostate.edu/threads/fundamentals.html

sir i am plaging snooker since last five years but am not a daily player and i am losing matches from thoes who dont even stance properly why is that happening to m,,, can you help me??

+Anubhav UD ... although, math is worthless if you can't execute accurately and consistently.

+DrDaveBilliards Leave this world....?? Why are u going somewhere?

+DrDaveBilliards he is right

That might be a bit of an exaggeration, but I appreciate it.

+mrthebengaltiger1 The table in this video is actually an 8' table, common in homes. The standard American pool table is larger at 9', and bar tables are smaller at 7'. The pocket "tightness" varies a lot from table to table. For more info, see: //billiards.colostate.edu/threads/table.html#table_difficulty_factor

thanks for posting the link,where im orignaly from a small town years ago all the bars had 8 or 9 ft non pay tables,couple had old 9 ft brunswick regulation tourny tables, i got taoght on a 9 ft brunswick

+ericou812 The table in the video is a standard 8-foot table. All dimensions for all tables can be found here: //billiards.colostate.edu/threads/table.html#size

+Plamen Dimitrov If someone teaches you a kicking or banking "system" and claims no adjustments are required for speed, angle, distance, spin, and conditions, they are lying to you. Many of the commonly-used kicking and banking systems (//billiards.colostate.edu/threads/banks_and_kicks.html) work well over limited ranges of speeds and angles, but adjustments are always required in different situations. That's why practice and benchmark shots are so important ... to help you learn how and when to adjust.

How about this one://youtu.be/G4dv9ekF3FY

Concerning targeting a ball on the short rail, we show how to do this on the DVD.  Basically, you just continue counting diamonds around the corner pocket (counting the pocket as a diamond).Concerning predicting the 2nd-rail contact point, there is no system for this; but it is not too difficult to visualize (especially with practice).I hope that helps,Dr. Dave

We cover this in detail in VEPS and VEPP.  One way is to mirror the CB or OB, measuring with your cue, to determine the aim point.  The following video shows another way:Kick Shot Aiming Systems - How To Aim Kick Shots - from Vol-III of the BU instructional DVD seriesFYI, lots of instructional articles and advice concerning how to aim kick and bank shots can be found here://billiards.colostate.edu/threads/banks_and_kicks.html

+jo blo The Plus-Two and Corner-Five systems have been around for a very long time and it is difficult (if not impossible) to clearly identify the original sources.  Regardless, the way the systems are presented can certainly be different from one instructional product to the next.

+jo bloplus it's always possible that both sets of DVDs are complimentary rather than contradictory. in fact there's got to be some significant LIKELIHOOD of that. it might involve w-o-r-k to make that explicit, but it's a (potentially ) g-o-o-d thing to have in B&W or each could invent his own wheel. i guess i'm saying in a nutshell it's nice when producers make things facile for consumers, DEPENDING. BK suggests consumer write down each of 27 (or whatever) shots as a mnemonic, for him/herself. that's why we'd say "depending."

+DrDaveBilliards just that it's nice to see some history so to speak. helps give perspective. we consumers generally assume that a producer is highly familiar w/ the "competition" so to speak, tho in this unusual case the "peer" or "competitor" is self [peer review]. that's even less a conundrum than apparent. one thing that used to lack (in consumer rather than scholarly) literature was annotated bibliography. there's room for that now. nod wink memo whatever. we see "simplified" corner five kick system et. al. so it's nice (and i'm assuming easy relatively) to say "simplified from who/what/when/where," then perspective is IMMEDIATELY evident. there's nothing new under the sun. newton stood on euclid's shoulders et al.

+jo blo Sorry, but I don't get your point.  Could you be more specific or clear?Thanks.

+jo bloreview of literature I meant

+DrDaveBilliards Well, not really or sort of. I'd assume so-and-so would be familiar enough w/ both. IOW I put down $$ and so need I put down more $$ ought to be a question for the "ultimate sources" so to speak. In academia we call that a review of the extant sources if I'm not mistaken.

I think consumers who own the other DVD can judge themselves whether they would benefit from the VEPS and VEPP DVDs by viewing the video excerpts here:  //dr-dave-billiards.com/veps/disc_IV.html  //dr-dave-billiards.com/vepp/disc_IV.htmland the complete tables of contents here:  //dr-dave-billiards.com/veps/disc_IV_shots.pdf  //dr-dave-billiards.com/vepp/disc_IV_shots.pdfI hope that helps,Dr. Dave
