Top 10 BANK and KICK Shot Aiming SYSTEMS

Dr. Dave demonstrates the 10 most useful systems for aiming bank and kick shots. Some are “diamond systems” that use the markings on the rails as references. Others are completely visual and require no diamonds or numbers. All of them are useful to know in different situations, especially if you do not yet have perfect intuition judging bank and kick shots. Systems covered (with timestamp links) include:

1. Contact Point Mirror Kick [0:30]
2. Midpoint Parallel Shift Kick [2:35]
3. 2-to-1 Rolling Kick [3:59]
4. Rolling Kick Speed Adjustments [6:20]
5. Visual Equal-Distance Kick [7:37]

Wrap-Up [18:32]

CORRECTION: At 3m23s, the spin diagram should show top right (running) spin, not top left (reverse). Sorry about that.
