Foundation for Jumping the Ball Playing Pool

Stan — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 03:00:26 +0000

One of the most common skills that fascinate players is the jump shot. Many believe they can not jump, when in fact almost everyone that has moved a cue at a rapid rate of acceleration has in fact jumped. A skipping action of the cue ball occurs when struck at a fast speed due to the tip causing a slight downward pressure on it. Anyone that has ever thrown a stone across water has the principle in hand, so to speak, using speed and a slight incline of the motion being applied to achieve this beauty! A faster and more inclined cue generally creates a higher jump effect!

When 3 or more frozen balls are included in game situations and/or trick shot setups, a player can quickly calculate respective ball patterns, throw directions, and intended make or miss factors for game/shot strategies. Better understanding of the gear principles between frozen balls and the respective energy factors applicable to the execution process can bring shot victory and new artistic shooting enjoyment to an otherwise standard game.
