    @lohisc

    No. That takes a lot of natural talent, a lot of dedicated time, and no other job, commitments, or responsibilities.

    Dr. Dave, have you thought about going pro…??

    @retepvosnul go eat another lemon.

    @emarum To point out the pockets are large and that certain terminology is illogical. Does reading come hard to your entire family, or it it just you ?

    @retepvosnul What’s the point of your moronic comment?

    @drtrotter74
    Thanks. I’m glad you like my vids.

    The table is an 8′ Connelly.

    like the videos………great info, and demonstration. Not that it matters, but I am just wondering what brand style of table is that you are playing on. Looks like a Brunswick……..very similar to the one I want to buy.

    I agree on both counts … the pockets are huge, and “English” is ridiculous. I prefer “sidespin,” but the term “English” is standard in most American pool publications.

  11. retepvosnul on November 27, 2011 at 1:04 am

    You could park a car in those pockets.

    Calling left/right side “English” sounds ridiculous.

    I’m glad you like my stuff. Please help spread the word about my vids, my website, and my new 5-DVD VEPS instructional series.

    Cheers,

    @GentlemenGetPaid Thanks. Check out my latest stuff from “Video Encyclopedia of Pool Shots (VEPS).” The new clips contain some really useful info.

    Please help spread the word about my stuff,

    @GentlemenGetPaid ehehe ur right
    once in a THOUSAND shots i got a good result xD but realy the table help XD
    =) coz in another place with a better surface i can do a draw with less power

  16. GentlemenGetPaid on November 27, 2011 at 4:19 am

    @sSouls Don’t complain about the table you are playing on. If you were good it wouldn’t matter.

  17. GentlemenGetPaid on November 27, 2011 at 4:33 am

    Great video. VERY good examples. First video of yours I’ve seen. Cant wait to check out the rest. Definitely going to subscribe.

  18. DrDaveBilliards on November 27, 2011 at 4:46 am

    First, let’s assume you’re using a cue with a tip that can apply English. The shot certainly can’t be made without English. Let’s also assume the table is level. I non-level table (with “roll off”) could help or hurt with this shot.

    Now, the amount of “action” you get off a rail will vary some from one table to the next, and this depends a lot on the cloth properties and the amount of humidity. However, this shot is possible on most tables I’ve tried it on, including lots of bar tables.

  19. sSouls on November 27, 2011 at 4:46 am

    i think in a bar table u can’t do a thing like this ..
    theyr pretty much dirty and .. well .. seems like a tank walked over it xD
    there u can see some ppl that use the cue as a baseball bat LOL so sad 😐 ..

  20. mackhaio5 on November 27, 2011 at 5:28 am

    haha
    I would like to see that too. That would be an interesting match.

  21. DrDaveBilliards on November 27, 2011 at 6:20 am

    Me too. I love to play people better than me. It helps elevate my game.

    Dr. Dave

  22. aznelf13 on November 27, 2011 at 6:24 am

  23. Ez3OsO on November 27, 2011 at 6:59 am

    lol

  24. DrDaveBilliards on November 27, 2011 at 7:54 am

    The amount of ball throw and spin transfer also depends on ball conditions, and the amount of “turn” off the rail depends on both ball, cloth, and cushion conditions.

    You’re welcome. I’m glad you have found my stuff useful. FYI, I have a lot more resources on my website (see the link in the video description).
