Some Myths on Pool

"Running is the set of physical qualities that a player has. This includes body posture, bridge, swing, grip, monitoring, etc.. The combination of these qualities allows the player to control the three technical elements that affect the Ming to be attacked (force of the blow, direction and point of attack heel) so that your game is bright, clean and effective. "

Myth 1. Believing in the plays of "reverse" the minga, upon impact with the ball squarely target continues to move forward before backing up. FALSE: minga not continue forward. When contacting the ball squarely, the minga stops instantly and then back (unless it is in the air at the time of the crash or heavier than the ball hit).

Myth 2. Believe that the moves of "followed" the minga, upon impact with the ball squarely, it bounces back before continuing its original path. FALSE: minga not bounce. On impact the object ball squarely, the minga stops instantly and move forward. The minga can bounce in some cases because there are several balls linked as in breaking out pineapple or, because their weight is less than the ball hit.

Myth 3. Believing that the balls bounce off the bands as a ray of light bounces off a mirror. FALSE: In the pool, if the Minga (or ball) hits the band at an angle of arrival (incidence), the exit angle (reflection) which is subject to a number of variables may be higher or lower than the incidence .
The angle of reflection is opened when:
l.Se soft attacks.
2.Se effect using "for".
Minga 3.La bearing leads naturally. The angle of reflection is closed when:
1.Se strong attacks.
2.Se use "opposite effect."
3.La Ming has retrograde rotation.
As expected, all the "systems" based on the premise of "equal angles" are imprecise.

Myth 4. Believe that you can get as much effect by turning the wrist at the time of attack. FALSE: Physically speaking, the direction, speed and effect of minga are the result of the blow, point of attack and direction of heel contact when cap-ming. Factors that influence such as weight and flexibility of the stud, as well as the type of cap and its diameter (resilience cap). Things like "flexible wrist," tighten (or loosen) the butt of the cue, and so on. not affect the Minga. It is definitely beneficial to have your eyes open, use both hands, assume a positive mental attitude, and so on. but these are just qualities that will help the player to control the three elements mentioned engineering.

Myth 5. Believe it is preferable to use a heavier breaking taco pineapple and always attacking with more force than a lighter. Not necessarily, what really matters is the amount of energy imparted to the Ming attack and this depends on the amount of force that can be put on the block. The energy of a moving block is equal to half the mass times the square of its speed. By using a light cue can get more speed, using the same muscle, with a heavier one. This increased speed has a squared in the energy equation, therefore the resulting energy is higher. This is the only reason why a small 9mm bullet can turn a man into the air, hitting him. In short, the same muscle power is stronger attacks with a wad of 18.5 ounces with a 23 oz. By the way, twice the weight of the block multiplied by the speed of the cue, divided by the result of the sum of cue weight plus the weight of the ball is equal to the speed of minga.

Myth 6. Believe that by attacking with purpose, with the cue level (parallel to the board), the minga describes a curve during its travel on the surface of the table. FALSE: If the block is level, the effect will not make the minga describe a curve. For this to happen (slip) minga be attacked from the top down, for example, in the attack semimassé (with the cue at an angle of 30 to 55 degrees with respect to the board) or the attack massé (55 to 80 degrees).

Most of the time, because part of the table prevents us from lowering the butt of the cue, unconsciously attacked from the top down and this small angle of attack, however minimal, slippage occurs.

Myth 7. Believe that by attacking with purpose, with the cue level (parallel to the board), the minga travels in straight lines as a continuation of the path or direction of the cue. FALSE: minga travels in straight lines but not in the same direction follow the cue, as it deflects in a direction opposite to the given effect. When attacking the minga effect, this, instead of traveling on the desired trajectory (line of sight) is "diverted" a few millimeters in the opposite direction given effect. This deviation is caused by the reaction of the ball to hit the cap and the flexibility of the tip of the cue when to return to its original shape. An object at rest refuses to move (inertia) and when it is beaten to move, there is a backlash reaction. If the ball hit you on the very center, the reaction would be on the tip of the cue entirely, but as we hit off center, there is a component of force (which drives the ball forward) is at an angle, and it is she who minimally deflected the ball. We could say that virtually pushed aside minga before it starts to move forward.

Myth 8. Believing that the effect of the Minga is transferred to the 1st. object ball and continues to transfer to the 2nd., 3rd., 4th. and so on. FALSE: If the effect minga collides head on with a ball, it transfers in addition to the linear energy, an "angular momentum of rotation" collided causing the ball to rotate in the opposite direction of the ball drive. The amount of cash transferred is only 2%. The effect conveys the 1st. object ball to 2nd. is so small that for practical purposes, is not taken into consideration. In the 2nd. object ball forward there is no transfer effect.

Myth 9. Believing that the balls are round. It is synonymous with circular round. A ring is round the same as the wheel of a car. Billiard balls, such as beige, football., Are spherical.

Myth 10. To believe that is called "rotation" to one of the modalities of the "billiard Buchaca" because the ball must be pocketed in numerical order. FALSE: If so, would be called "Sequence". The term "rotation" derives from the order in which the balls are arranged in the form of "Chicago." The "Chicago" was very popular in Cuba, the balls, instead of "arming them" within the triangle, are linked to a putting bands on each diamond from the table below except the short rail. Currently, the "Chicago" takes place in Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, etc.. where he is called "Pool Armed" or "Bill", also in Chile where it is called, "Gardener."

Myth 11. Believing that all pool tables have a "diamond" embedded in the frame. FALSE: The tables of "Snooker" are not diamonds.
