i do have to agree …
i do have to agree with esoxmusky. im not saying that ur stupid because ur much more experienced than myself. But it is all basic geometry. U r very good tho…thanx for the advice
bank shots are very …
bank shots are very inconsistent.
if you ever play on a table that you dont usually play on then you will notice that every single table is different. period, end of discussion.
bank shots are inconsistent because every cushion acts differently in different spots and on different tables.
If you dont know this either you never bank, you never play on any table but your own, or you simply do not play at all.

This is the way I …
This is the way I was taught to bank properly, but I hardly ever use it since if it’s an easy bank I can do it with feel, and if it’s a hard bank measuring it still doesn’t give me a very high %. These are still great videos though, I disagree with those people that think there is something wrong with this “lesson” in banking.
Its an incomplete …
Its an incomplete video on banking. I will release a follow up soon… stay tuned…
This is the method …
This is the method I always used to bank. Of course variables like speed and spin can change the reaction of the object ball off the rail, but you won’t find an easier method to visualize the basic contact point of the rail. You’re thourough with your explanation of the shot. I was waiting to hear draw the line from object ball to opposing pocket, and you hit on it. So if someone is bypassing the side and going for a cross corner bank they should be able to understand this reasonably well.
It´s the same as …
It´s the same as using a “mirror”.
The lines are exactly the same, just simple maths
Well explained!
It would be …
It would be difficult to express in a seven minute video the effect of side, speed of the shot, throw, direction of force, and humidity on banks. I give the forcefollow a lot of credit for making it simple. Perhaps this would give a beginner a good place to start. If you are just learning this technique I recommend making sure you are hitting with a medium slow stroke and hit dead center and work up from there.
nice tutorial, much …
nice tutorial, much appreciated.
I had a friend who …
I had a friend who could bank just about any shot. He would show me where to aim when I wanted to bank a shot but he never explained to me how I could figure it out on my own. This video is awesome, I am looking forward to practicing this technique. thanks!
Thanks for posting …
Thanks for posting this I was always curious on how to properly bank, appreciate it
hey forcefollow, i …
hey forcefollow, i dont really understand the second way of measuring the kick…. how will you noe where to draw the line from the Cueball to the rail? in the video, it is already in the diagram, but i dont understand how this is done in real life…could u help me understand please(:
Banks are in …
Banks are in principal a combination of science and mathematics. But due to tempurature, age of the rubber in the rails, quality of rubber, how inconsistent the felt was wrapped around the rail (tight in some areas, looser in others), a inconsistent stroke, etc. Thus, you cannot say that a bank shot is consistent, or an exact science… EVER! That is pure ignorance. There are many systems people use to make banks, from ones that are complicated, to purely feel. Find what works best for you.
this is the way i …
this is the way i learned to bank – its a good general start until throw, speed, and shape come into play

Here’s a much simpler method.
If there’s another table next to the one you’re playing on, aim for the side pocket on the adjacent table – it’s about the same as using a mirror on the rail. If there’s no table next to yours, use your imagination.
Thanks! Great …
Thanks! Great information!

i got your explanation. thanks i will try it tomorrow. more power buddy !

it was a bit confusing at the begining but now i’m starting to understand what your saying. Good Work With The Tutorial.
Hey! I simply wish to give a huge thumbs up for the good information you could have here on this post. I will be coming back to your blog for more soon.
