View Full Version : Easy way to learn the mirror system
01-15-2006, 10:55 AM This is for rail first type kickins. I have
always had trouble understanding how exactly to aim at this type
of kick shot. I first saw the mirror system employed in Grady
Matthew's tape Only Kicks. I had trouble with so I went to Grady
and had him show me the shot. I still had trouble seeing it. I
stumbled upon something last night that straightened it out for
me.  First off let me say that I think most people think kick
shots are imprecise and are more or an art form. I disagree with
this position. I think that people tend to underestimate the
degree of precision that is acheiveable and required for most
kicks. The following is a very precise shot, so pay attention to
detail in the setup and execution of it.  The example situation
I will use is The object ball and cue ball are straight in on
the short rail and the next ball is at the other end on the
other short rail. WEi table
