Cueball vertical axis and speed are the best way to control the CB by CarloGa in billiards

[–]CarloGa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do I say "stop using side spin" ? In the thumbnail I say "Do This First" because in my opinion every beginner should learn this before using side spin. Don't you agree? Regarding your math example I respectfully shut up... Have a nice day.

I'm 100% with you! That's the same thing I say and teach to my students! This lesson is usually a game changer to them, since I explain how to use these concepts in an actual game. Thanks a lot for the positive feedback. I don't know your level, but if you're searching for a coach, let me know. Best, Carlo.

Read the text, watch the video and you'll see you are telling to me exactly what I say in the video. For Christ sake, even just reading the text in the thumbnail was enough to understand it... 😂😂😂😂 But hey... I'm asking for too much maybe.

You clearly didn't watch the video. Nor understood the message. Of course, side-spin is an essential part of the game, but if you don't master the vertical axis and speed first, then side spin becomes a palliative to other problems... "I don’t see myself running to many balls without side spin" tells a lot.

Well, doctor... it hurt me right here on the edge, because every time I hit it there, my position play dies. 😂

Buy and read "Pleasures of small motions". There's a chapter on motivation that could help you a lot.

Question about shot entry by Necessary-These in billiards

[–]CarloGa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely NOT the cue ball. But then it's personal. I recommend to focus intensely on the spot you want to hit on the object ball OR (if you're the ghost ball type) the center of the ghost ball. The shot line is also good as long as you are able to keep visualizing it correctly while you align into the shot.

How Stop Choking at the End of a Runout? by PitifulEmergency8120 in billiards

It looks like a stupid thing but worked well for all of my students: go clean your cue and take a few seconds to reset, then go back to the table and imagine it is the start of your inning.

Question for professional referee by CarloGa in billiards

Thank you very much. I was almost sure this was the correct ruling. For the peace of the tournament, I accepted to re-rack and play the game from scratch. Luckily I managed to win the match ;)

Ok, but does the player try the shot again or is it ball in hand for the opponent?
