Top 10 Speed Control Tips and Drills

Описание: Dr. Dave demonstrates ten great tips to help you with your speed control. Next to pocketing balls and controlling CB direction, speed control is the most important fundamental of pool. You need to be able to aim and pocket a shot, but you also need to send the CB the right distance to be able to pocket the next ball. Topics covered (with start times) include:

NOTE:
The 7x rolling-CB factor applies to the balls, assuming no cushion contact. A rolling ball will generally lose about 1/2 of its speed after rebound and post-rebound slide. For more info and demonstrations, see:

The math/physics proof of the 7x factor is here:

Speed control is something you need to develop a feel for anyway.
