I wanted to do a couple of threads like this at least, hence the title. Not me giving the "lesson" of course.... i'm hoping for others to do that But, I do have my guesses....
The question: when using spin on the cb to shorten or widen the angle of the ob off a cushion, does more spin on the cb translate to more spin on the ob?? Put another way, if you need to shorten a ball up to the max, do you load it up with inside (as much as possible), or put less inside on it?? Of course speed will have a large effect, but we are talking more about spin here, and its effect.
I have come across hints at the answer to this on the board here. Maybe it is already obvious to most (here comes my opinion).... I think less spin is actually the way to shorten the ball the most, or "grab" the ball the most. If you use too much, it is almost like the friction disappears.... just the right amount (along with a perfect speed) and it gets a chance to grab. Similarly, to widen a ball the most, less spin would be used, so the cb is turning a tad and can grab.
Any corrections to that are desired.... or if i'm out and out wrong of course just tell me. But I think i'm right, my banks are getting better and this is one of the reasons.
The cool part: this principle applies to many other shots in pool -- trying to spin a frozen 2 ball combination to the max.... I think less spin (at the correct speed) may be the answer.
