so John.... for some ungodly reason, I picked up a bad habit early on in my pool life, that on banks, I would unconsciously tend to hit the object ball, for the most part, full in the face and use english to make the bank, adjusting for how hard I hit it and how much I need to cut it to make the bank.
This is why, I guess, I use outside all the time. It seems the only time I use inside, is when I have to, to get out of a kiss or to try and kill the cueball off the rail for positional reasons.
Needless to say, it's probably a horrible way to approach banks, but I've developed a feel for it, so it has served me to some extent.
I would like to change that and relearn my banking methods. I was practicing using about a tip of inside yesterday, but I was way off, due to my previous method of banking. The ones I did make, I could see the advantage of using inside, because of the way they slide down the rail in the last 2 feet approaching the pocket. It's a more direct approach to the pocket.
So in my bottom example below, using a common bank... would you use inside on this or strictly centerball. If you use inside, obviously you have to cut the ball more towards the right side of the table, as opposed to hitting it with no english, to compensate for the reverse off the rail.
On the 2nd example which is the top diagram with the cueball with a A on it, would you hit this with inside too? Or center or outside? In both of these examples, let's say you don't have to do anything special with the cueball, which might make you have to adjust the way you're hitting it.
Thanks... I'm just trying to start working on changing everything around, so when DCC comes, maybe I can steal just a few minutes of your time, when you are free, and I will be more accustomed to the RIGHT way to bank.
