Dr. Dave and Tom Ross describe, illustrate, and demonstrate how to use the Plus System (AKA Plus Two System) for aiming two-rail kick shots into the short rail first. This is an example shot from Disc IV of “The Video Encyclopedia of Pool Shots” (VEPS). The VEPS series includes over 750 shots in 50 different categories, with over 250 “gems” of the game. The series is the most comprehensive collection of pool shots ever published. Disc IV covers kick and bank shots, along with several other categories of advanced shots.

That’s a great example. Thank you for posting it.
As I show in the video, the speed and amount of English are important. Appleton has obvious practiced these types of shots.
@DrDaveBilliards …
@DrDaveBilliards Cool!
BTW, I was watching this Mosconi Cup match and you could use this system with a bank at “Mosconi Cup 2009, Day 1 – Match 2 – Part 5 of 7″ @ 6:17
If I’m getting this correct, Appleton is aiming through approx. 1.75 diamonds on the long rail, which makes him shooting towards that 1.75 spot on the short rail as well (because he wants to aim almost for the center of the corner pocket where the four sits) with top-left spin — just as in your video.

VEPS-IV explains and demonstrates many different aiming systems for various types of kicks and banks. If you want to use more than your “guts,” you might want to check it out.

I’m trying this at …
I’m trying this at the pool hall tomorrow. I’m usually got with banking, but at the moment I’m just playing with my guts. Combining it with a system should take my game to a whole new level. Thanks a bunch!
Every table will ” …
Every table will “play” differently. The key is to find the necessary first-rail aim point for the reference shot, and to determine which diamond off the third rail goes to the pocket. Everything else is defined relative to that.
The formula for predicting the third rail diamond should work pretty well on most tables. Have you tested this out? Check out the video again and figure out the reference diamonds for your table. Also, try the formula.
I hope that helps,
Dr. Dave
I tried this on my …
I tried this on my home table and it was consistently off by 1 diamond. Being Plus 2 instead of Plus 3. I think it was because I have a “bar table” that is 40″ by 80″ instead of the “standard table” that is 50″ by 100″. Is that true ?? If so it would be nice if in the future you could make some comment about lessons that work differently on different size tables. Be even nicer if you could give 2 versions of a lesson like this, one for the standard table and one for the bar table.
Thanks. It does …
Thanks. It does take practice, and the speed and amount of English are important, but it is a very useful system.
Good luck with your game,
Dr. Dave
That’s an awesome …
That’s an awesome system! Have been struggling to get the feel for two rail kicks but never really got hold of it. Got to take this to the table and practice it. Thanks again for all your great videos!
Thanks a bunch. I …
Thanks a bunch. I hope everybody agrees with you.
Please help spread the word about VEPS.
Cheers,

can wait to buy it, youve truly made billiards history!!
No one will ever be able to make a more comprehensive research on pool.
Spot on with this write-up, I actually suppose this web site wants way more consideration. I?ll in all probability be again to read much more, thanks for that info.
