To calculate a bank shot, visualize the straight line from the cue ball to the spot on the rail you want to hit, then imagine it bouncing off at an equal angle. It's like pool geometry class – angles in, angles out!
From personal experience, a little spin (side English) helps to adjust the ball's trajectory after it hits the rail. Experiment with different spins to see what works best. Good luck!
I just hit the ball and hope for the best. Sometimes it works, sometimes... not so much.
Use the diamond system. Aim at the rail's diamond markers relative to where your target ball is. Once you get used to it, it’s like second nature!
