Seniors Billiards Players: This Is Why Your Bank Shots NEVER Go In

The Complete Smart Pool Library (4 books for players over 60): https://poolover60.netlify.app/?b=1&v... You see the bank, you line it up, and it misses by a ball. Again. Most players blame their stroke. In this video: the five real reasons bank shots don't go in, and the banking super hack that ties them together, the spot on the wall. You keep your own stroke, stance and cue. What's inside: Reason 1: you're aiming at the rail (why a target a foot from the ball is the hardest one on the table, and why a far mark holds still) Reason 2: you hit it harder when you don't trust it (why more speed shortens the bank, and a three-and-three check for your own table) Reason 3: the ball that hugs the rail (sliding banks, and why cloth, balls and the table itself change the bank) Reason 4: the cut (how cutting the bank puts spin on the object ball, and how to read the miss) For older eyes and stiff backs: finding your target standing up, which part of progressive lenses to use, widening your feet, and a doorway drill for tonight The key: the spot on the wall (how to find it once on your own table with two banks, test it with a third, and why you aim the object ball at it, not the cue ball) Facts in this video come from published sources, mainly Dr. Dave Alciatore's work on the physics of pool and his Billiards Digest columns of February 2011 and March 2023, the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Optometric Association. Everything in this video is written down in order in The Complete Smart Pool Library: aiming and pocketing with older eyes, cue ball control without hitting hard, eight-ball strategy for facing stronger players, and a fourth book on a stance that spares your back (only in the complete set). https://poolover60.netlify.app/?b=1&v... Find your spot on the wall for one corner pocket and tell me what you used, in one word: door, chair, lamp, calendar. Safety: work within a comfortable range and never force a position that hurts; widen your feet before bending your back. Never climb up or sit on the table to reach a shot; use the bridge or pick another shot. Questions about glasses, progressive or bifocal lenses belong with your optometrist or ophthalmologist. Nothing in this video is medical or optical advice, and no result is guaranteed. The presenter of this channel is a digital presenter. #pool #billiards #8ball #bankshot #seniors
