"THE BANKS ARE ALWAYS OPEN" TM
* QUESTION - 1: What is a CUE-SPORT?
* ANSWER - 1: American Pool, Snooker, Billiards, Russian-Pyramid, and Bumper Pool.
* QUESTION-2: What is a BANK-SHOT?
* ANSWER-1: Trying to hit a target by shooting the Object-Ball into one or more cushions.
* QUESTION-3: What is a KICK-SHOT?
* ANSWER-3: Trying to hit a target by shooting the Cue-Ball into one or more cushions.
* QUESTION-4: Why are BANK & KICK SHOTS needed?
* ANSWER-4: Balls very often block the desired paths of either the Cue-Ball or the Object-Ball;
making either a BANK or KICK SHOT the only option.
* QUESTION-5: What is the purpose of DIAMOND-MARKERS along the rails of Cue-Sports tables?
* ANSWER-5: The DIAMOND-MARKERS provide a reference frame for determining the aim of
BANK or KICK SHOTS.
* QUESTION-6: How many possible BANK or KICK SHOTS exist?
* ANSWER-6: A great many; due to physical limitations - player strength and cloth & cushion ball
energy dissipation - the maximum number of cushions for "running - glancing" bank shots
is 7 and 3 or less for bank shots "more directly" impacting cushions. These factors limit the
practical number of "available targets" to 148 from every location on the playing surface to each
of the six pocket targets. If a player can make one-cushion bank shots; this increases the
available targets from 6 to 20, because there are 14 available one-cushion bank shot targets
and 6 targets directly to the six pockets. Being able to make a BANK-SHOT can be a
very powerful advantage; especially in the Pool games of One-Pocket, Eight-Ball and Nine-Ball.
* QUESTION-7: What physical factors determine the out-bound path of an
in-bound ball that impacts with a cushion?
* ANSWER-7: Ball SPEED, ball SPIN about each of three-axis (forward, side & vertical), and
ball DIRECTION relative to the cushion or Incidence-Angle (Ai). These ball factors, plus cloth
and cushion characteristics all effect how a ball bounces or reflects from a cushion.
* QUESTION-8: Has a BANK SHOT PROCEDURE, method or technique been developed that
organizes and relates the many factors effecting BANK or KICK SHOTS?
* ANSWER-8: Yes, GLADIATORS-usa.com publishes a POSTER -
