Bank Shots with Throw in Pool

Video Transcript

"Okay, we looked at what we have to determine as far as angle in and angle out of the cushions for making bank shots. But now we have to back up a little bit and we have to bring in this thing called "throw" once again. Because throw comes in to effect on many bank shots. For instance, let's take this one here, where we have the angle already predetermined because the cue ball is touching the object ball in this case. So the angle is going to stay the same from here to there, which is going to give us an angel coming up that says that this object ball, if I shoot it right in there, like that, it's suppose to come over and hit the end rail right here. Well, if we take our knowledge of throw and we hit the cue ball in the right direction, meaning, hit it over this direction, it grabs this object ball, throws it to the left which then changes our angle, brings it further over to the left and gives us more of an angle coming back this way. Now, I don't know whether or not this particular setup's going to work, but let's just see how close to this pocket we can come by banking the ball with throw. Not bad."
