Not a 1 pocket player, yet! Cool information for the 3 rail off a ball. "Poolometry" has a vanishing point system that I have combined with my feel of the shots, with good success.
Big one pocket player here. When I first play on a table, I always get down the 3 rail shot to find my spots for that particular table. Even though I’m a “feel” player, I do have couple tools like this to assist me. Like the parallel shift for 2 rail kicks.
You were wondering about the distance for the spot on the wall. I've used that system for years, and was told when I was first shown it, that the spot should be about 4 to 5 feet beyond that second diamond. Much further than that and you run into diminishing angle or something. Not sure what happens when the distance is further, but I know I'm not successful if the spot I use is at the other end of the pool hall. I don't play one pocket, but I used that shot about a week ago in a game of 8 ball. Worked fine. Good video. Thanks.
I'm pretty sure there is a mathematically correct distance, but it would only be correct for photons bouncing off mirrors. There does seem to be a pretty wide range for pool balls and cushions where you can at least get close. And of course, experience and instinct play a big part.
Dave , try using spot on the wall with the sliding cueball utilizing ... Equal and Opposite ball alignments of the CB and OB at the 90 degree contact point you located on the object ball .
Sorry, James, but I am not able to decipher what you are saying here. I'm sure you know what you meant to say, but it didn't translate into my head very well.
I think of it as a mirror. Shoot the cue towards the ball in the mirror. I don't have a way to explain it here. I'd need to show a video. I really don't do videos. But, maybe somebody else knows this "mirror" method. It was taught to me in 1985.
I have a hard time even seeing one table correctly. If you can properly see the real table and also visualize the mirror tables, well I would certainly need a spot. :)
Yeah, I probably should have specified that. There are some systems that use the spot in front of the diamond instead of the actual diamond, but this was not one of those systems.

I wish I had the discipline to always find that 3-rail spot on an unfamiliar table. Luckily, most of the tables I play on are pretty similar.

@@davidsiltz Jennifer Beretta explained it as a mirror system imagining a pool table out there.
@@brianbridge The jibes with what I remember, though I "learned" it before Jennifer was even born. For some reason I want to say Bob Jewett.

That’s a diamond table and they all come up short. You didn’t hit the diamond you hit the line of the diamond. Big difference
