Pool, Kicking System the Numbers with a Cyngery Shaft, Pool Lesson

What's going on YouTube? Today's video is going to be on kicking. We're going to do a one rail kick, two rail kick, and a three rail kick. For the one rail kick, there's multiple ways to actually execute the shot. The way I have this setup laid out is I have the one ball here, where it's on the first diamond, and the cue ball on the third diamond, and it's blocked by this two ball. And you're trying to kick the ball. It's close enough where you can jump it, but you're actually going to do a kick shot. And the way to execute this, and the easiest way to execute it, is actually doing it by splitting the difference. By that, what I mean by splitting the difference is getting the distance between the object ball and the cue ball. So this one is pretty easy, and it's lined up, or right on the second diamond on the opposite side. And once you get that position, you would shift your whole cue, and your aim would be on the second diamond. I set up another example for a one rail kick. This one's also pretty simple because the cue ball and the object ball is lined up straight. Well, it's almost like an imaginary rail, where it lines up parallel. So if you actually do another split the difference, you can see this is going to be exactly where I'm going to hit the rail again with the cue ball. To actually make contact to the one ball. I set up another example for a one rail kick, but this time, as you can see, the cue ball and the object ball is not lined up at this time. Normally, a lot of people like to do splitting the difference and trying to figure out where the difference is. So we're splitting the difference when doing the mirror system, which I can't visualize. I'm not a visual person. So you're trying to figure out where to actually hit this rail. With the numbering system, the way I did it on my banks, it also works for the kicks. So the best way to do it, this one is on the zero, this is the four, this is the eight, this is the 12, this is the 16, the 20, and the 25. The opposite rail, where you're actually going to kick, we'll start off with the 10, then your 20, then your 30, then your 40, your 50, 60, and 70. So with this system, as you can see, the way this setup is, you line this up and figure out where your cue ball is. And once you know where your cue ball is lined up, so if this is 20, you would line it up to your 20. Nope, it does not line up to my cue ball. This is 23, 24, there's 24, pretty close, and then 23. So this would line up to the 23. You would mirror this image and see if it actually goes in. So as you can see, if I actually hit this diamond, I would actually hit this one ball. I set up another example for a one-rail kick, but as you can see, I have the one ball moved up to the second diamond on the short rail and the second diamond on the long rail. My cue ball is on the opposite side of the table, and it's about half a diamond on the short rail and the second diamond on the long rail. So most people would try to use half the distance measurements or try to use a mirror image and figure out where the one ball is in space floating on an imaginary table. Those systems work if you can actually see it, but I have to use everything by the numbers. As you can see, all we're doing for this shot is we're going to shift my number system. So with the number system, this will become my zero, this one becomes the four, this one becomes the eight, and this one becomes the 12. All I did was shift my number system. The reason why is this is now going to be my 10, this is going to be my 20, and this is going to be my 25, and this is going to be the 30 of course. So if this is 4, 8, 12, 16, this is 20. My cue ball does not line up to my 20. Does it line up to my 25? No, it's the same shot to the 23. So if I hit the 23 here, I'll move the 10 ball for y'all so y'all can see that I shifted this number also because now I have new zeroes. So if I hit the 23, I should be able to hit this object ball and not be a ball in hand to my 20. For a two rail kick, I set up this example. I have the one ball set up over here on the second diamond on the long rail, and the cue ball pretty much on the opposite side of the table and set up on the third diamond on the long rail. But as you can see, I have the number system here. This is for a two rail kick. This, where you're going to be kicking into, this corner pocket will be as the one. This will be the two, this will be the three, this is the four, and then this is the five. The way this system works is you're actually getting the difference on how far the cue ball and object ball are. So for this one, you're looking at one diamond, two diamonds, and three diamonds. But you got to remember with the two rails, this cue ball is not exactly on the third diamond because third diamond and third diamond lines up over here. So it does not line up. You have to shift your cue to where it actually meets. If this one meets, this is the two and this is the three. It's almost at the two and a half, and this is where you're actually going to aim the cue ball to actually hit this object ball over here. I set up another example for a two rail kick, but as you can see, I got the one ball and the cue ball away from the rail this time. Therefore, it's going to be a lot harder to actually judge where you're going to be kicking this. But with the number system, the system works pretty simple. You got, like I said before, you got to figure out how far is the cue ball away from your object ball. So this one is one two three four. It's four diamonds away. But as you can see, the cue ball is almost two diamonds up from this on the short rail itself. So this is one and this is two. So this is almost two and then that's four. Four minus two is two, but yet you have this gap here. So you're almost looking at a two and a quarter because you're not as a full two and you'll be almost hitting approximately here and should be able to hit that one ball. The biggest thing with this system, it's a number system. Regardless of where your cue ball and object ball is, if you use the number system, the math will always work. I set up another two rail example. As you can see, I have the one ball on the short rail and if you look at the other side of the table, I have the numbering system for this two rail kick. This is going to start off with your three, your five, and your seven. This is your first rail. This is going to be the second rail. Wherever the second rail is that you're kicking into will be where this will start at zero. So for the opposite side, where your cue ball is going to be marked, it's going to be starting off with your eight eight, your ten, your twelve, and your fourteen. So if your object ball is at the fourteen, you would look for a corresponding number on where your cue ball is actually located. So for this one, we're saying that this is your ten. So you would say your object ball minus your cue ball number would be four and you would see if this lines up to the number four and it does not line up to your number four. So you would go to your next to your next diamond. So this would be the eight. Fourteen minus eight equals six. So you would see if this one lines up to your six and as you can see, this is eight and that is six and my cue ball is pretty close to that corresponding diamond. If I hit that diamond with two rails, I should be able to hit this one ball. With this shot, you're actually using writing English, meaning for this I would use top right and I should be able to hit this one ball. Now for the three out kick. As you can see, I set up this example. I have the nine ball close to this rail. This is going to be the third rail since we're doing a three rail kick and this is where it's almost at the two diamond. So as you can see, this diamond will be zero. This diamond is ten. This is twenty. This is thirty and this is forty. For the cue ball, where your cue ball lands, this is where the cue ball numbers go. This is forty. This is fifty. This is sixty. This is seventy and then this is eighty. To strike the first rail, I'm going to be hitting this long rail. This is going to be starting with zero. The opposite side of that rail. So this is ten. This is twenty. This is thirty. This is forty. This is fifty. Sixty. Seventy and eighty. So the way this number system works for a three rail kick, as you can see, this is almost to the eighty mark. And so you would subtract your cue ball number to your object ball number. So the object ball number is twenty and this is eighty. Eighty minus twenty is sixty. Then you would count ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and sixty. As you can see, this one doesn't line up. So you have to do a shift. You know you have to move to the right. Therefore, your number should be at seventy. Seventy minus twenty equals fifty. So you have ten, twenty, thirty, forty and fifty. So you line up your fifty and your seventy. Make sure you're at the diamond. As you can see, my cue ball is pretty close to that seventy and fifty mark. So if I hit exactly, pretty much on this diamond, I should be able to do a three rail kick and hit that nine ball and hopefully not give ball in hand. I just did the one rail, two rail and three rail kicking system. I hope this video was informative. Stay tuned. My next video is going to be on five basic safety shots you need to know.
