1st Gear

In my last blog I mentioned a 2-rail 1st gear shot. When my daughter was in high school, she walked by me at home and said "whatcha doin' Dad. The sarcastic remark back then was "I'm writin' a book" And next would be "well leave me out of this chapter" She had a basketball game that night and one of her friends came up and said "Mr Fiegel, it's so cool you're writing a book" So I had to write a book. My 1st book was based on THE STANDARD SHOT. If you were 1 dot away from a pocket, shooting into the dot with 4:30 or 7:30 English you could shoot a ball or a kick, and throw it that 1 dot. Long story short, I published a book, there now I'm done. But once I got used to writing things down for the 1st book, I wrote some more things down. I went out to the 2nd and 3rd dots to do the same thing as I did with the standard shot. Book Two--"Shifting Gears" The STANDARD SHOT was now 1st Gear. The cool thing about yesterday's shot is that you can go on both sides of the pocket at the other end of the table and use the SAME english.for your 2-rail. The cue ball by the way is going diagonally across the table.  Lester
