BANK and KICK Effects and Aiming ADJUSTMENTS

Dr. Dave demonstrates bank and kick shot effects and aiming adjustments. Whether or not you use mirror and diamond systems, you will not be very effective aiming banks and kicks if you don’t know or have a solid feel for how to make adjustments when necessary. Topics covered include: Intro [0:00] 1 - Speed [0:35] 2 - Top/Bottom Spin [1:55] ---- 2a - stiffen a kick [2:45] ---- 3b - cushion compression and kick bend [3:29] 3 - Sidespin [4:19] ---- 3a - angle and drag effects [5:08] 4 - Transferred Sidespin [6:44] ---- 4a - cut-induced spin [7:19] ---- 4b - gearing outside spin [7:50] ---- 4c - twisting a bank with spin transfer [8:38] 5 - Double Kisses [10:19] ---- 5a - detection and avoidance [10:44] ---- 5b - double-kiss bank shot [11:43] Summary [12:31] ---- table conditions adjustments [12:50] ---- video montage of video shots [13:30] CORRECTION: - at the 8:29 point, I said the following: "With an inside cut, the only option is to adjust the aim." This is not true. You can also use gearing outside spin with an inside cut, assuming it is appropriate based on CB control requirements.
