Comments on: One Rail Kicking Systems – Part 1 – by Scott Rohleder http://www.poolstudent.com/2009/09/09/one-rail-kicking-systems-1/ For Serious Students of all Pocket Billiards Games Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:44:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Scott Rohleder http://www.poolstudent.com/2009/09/09/one-rail-kicking-systems-1/comment-page-1/#comment-274 Scott Rohleder Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:17:54 +0000 http://www.poolstudent.com/?p=1628#comment-274 Thanks for the comment! I briefly mention the use of english when the path is blocked in part of this article, which will be posted soon. In general, 1 tip of english equals 1 diamond difference when kicking across the table and 2 diamonds when kicking lengthwise. You can also use draw to shorten a kick up by a diamond or so, and even add reverse for more effect. These things are useful but take practice to learn and judge since speed and entry angles into the rail have an effect on how much the path can be altered. Thanks again, and keep watching for more information in the weeks/months to come! Scott Thanks for the comment!

I hope you can cover some of the systems (such as those presented in tapes/DVDs by Grady Mathews and in the 8 Ball Bible by Randi Givens) for using varying amounts of sidespin to make one-rail kicks when,, for example, the angle in - angle out path is blocked.
