BASIC SYSTEMS

DB1 MANUAL

TEXTS DB1 (pdf Format (169 Pages)


The Natural Result Series
Require no previous billiards experience. Their application involves the use of a natural hit with no english. These systems provide the basics for understanding the billiard table and the relationship between systems. They imply the basic comprehension of the game of 3-Cushion Billiard.

Introductory Systems: How to get to the corners (Available in CD/ROM format)
Catalog No. - 3C-BS-101
Course Pre-requisite: None.
Courses Recommended: Stance, Bridge and Body Positioning.

These systems introduce the study of the natural behavior of the cue ball within the Critical, Stable and Merging areas of each system. It offers a variety of applications that lead to position playing and to the combination of systems.
The CD includes two systems to play across the short side of the table. The first one ("Shooting Across the Short side of the Table") has been designed to calculate shots where the cue ball goes from one of the long rails into the opposite long rail and into the immediate corner. It emphasizes the corner and the fourth rail result. The "Variations of the System" emphasizes the application of the Rule of half's (a universal principle that is applicable in all billiard systems) in each of the different sections of the table.
The second system (The Zig Zag System) is used for cross table applications and it is based in the application of the Rule of Eights. It emphasizes the relationship of 1 to 1/8 and reinforces the application of the relationship of the table in all billiard systems.
This work also includes a brief introduction to the "Double Reverse" system and different applications of the above systems to get before or after a specific corner from any position of the cue ball. It is a comprehensive study of the universal principles applied in all billiard systems.

Basic System 2: Shooting Across the Long Side of the Table (Available in CD/ROM format)
Catalog No. - 3C-BS-102
Course Pre-requisite: None.

Courses Recommended: 3C-BS-101/3C-BS-102

Includes the application of the rules and principles introduced in the previous systems when shooting from one of the short rails into the opposite long rail. It is a hands on work on the combination of systems. It is an in depth application of different systems to obtain the first rail hit-point, the second, third and fourth rail result. It explains several systems and how they interact with each other when the target is close to the third or fourth rail return. "The Second Rail System" emphasizes the techniques to find the second rail hit-point when shooting from the long and the short rails of the table. The main feature is provided by the video demonstrations of the different stroking techniques as applied by the best players in the world. The diagramed video demonstrations facilitate the analysis of the numerical values assigned to the diamonds in each of the different systems included. They provide the necessary tools to comprehend the inter-relationship that exist in all billiard systems.

Basic System 3: Shooting Around the Table (Available in CD/ROM format)
Catalog No. - 3C-BS-103
Course Pre-requisite: None

Courses Recommended: 3C-BS-101/3C-BS-102/3C-BS-103

This treaty is the following sequence of the "Shooting across the Long End of the Table” system and it follows the same basic approach. It studies the natural results when shooting around the table from the cue ball positions on the long rail into the adjacent short rail. It is based in hitting the cue ball without english and having a corner and diamond two on the fourth rail as the main references. Here you are going to get a reference that is mainly used right off the first ball to go around the table emphasizing the fourth and fifth rail returns.

The logic of this work is originated from the natural results and specially from the Perfect Square Principle. It reinforces and expands the applications of this principle and introduces a variation that leads to the understanding of the dimensional relationship between the long and the short rails when shooting around the table. It also combines the two to one (2:1) dimensional relationship of the table and expands its rules by anticipating the second rail hit point.

If you learned the procedures and rules applied in the Basic Systems I, and II, you are going to be able to apply them again in this new system. Nevertheless, you will also learn that this system's approach is focused towards another dimension of the game. According to this statement we can say that we refer to the first dimension when we talk about the cue ball traveling across the table, while this new dimension is all about the cue ball traveling around the table.

The system is mainly used on shots off the outside of the first object ball to go around the table and for shots to go twice around the table.

The mastering of the principles and rules of the basic systems will lead you to the understanding of the systematic value of english. In other words, you will be able to "apply one diamond of english" to the cue ball, instead of using general terms like "use one tip of english".

This more advanced technique of specifying the diamond value of english is easier to understand once you learn where does the english comes from. In this system, you will clearly notice how the cue ball acquires additional rotation (or weight) after reaching the third rail. The natural changes of the cue ball displacement due to the english acquired while going around the table will increase your understanding of the behavior of the cue ball when going across the table.

Since the great majority of systems to go around the table are implemented using either full or running english, this system provides the basic knowledge for a better understanding of those systems that involve the use of english to achieve the desired system results.

There is also a close relationship between this system and those treaties known as “Plus 2 systems”. Even though the Plus 2 is used within another dimension, its rules and principles are closely related to the logic of this system. When applying the variations of the positions within the merging area, you will find that this system merges with the systems to play around the table off the inside of the first object ball and the Plus 2 applications. The combination of the track returns of the basic systems and the Plus 2 lead to the understanding of "The Universal Value of English in all Billiard Systems".

The publication of this work in CDRom format includes two hundred interactive and animated diagrams. They also include extensive explanations of each of the steps of the system, and a profound review of the logic applied in the game of 3-Cushion Billiards.
