I did not shoot a pull shot on Thursday. Not sure how you recorded it (unless you have a web cam in my porn room).

Graeme should tell Roger in Edmonton the method used to record and slow mo, format etc. so it can be done in Edmonton too.

Fun interesting stuff.

Noticed that Andy and Tim were just going out to the second dot before the " dead-man ", Eric right on the last dot.
Could be they were just doing a smooth release effort for the camera, although Andy's slo-mo on the hand-arm shot reveals a "flippy whippy" movement.

Ok Graeme get Brian ,Joey ,Darrel and Kent on there now.

Christian is coming over to my house this evening. I will record his and my pull.


Author: perennial underdog Reply #7 Posted: Nov 13 2010 3:48PM

Andy's "flippy-whippy" movement is due to his limp wrist.From an analytical perspective,he shoots a spray pull-shot.Tim shoots a similar stroke but squares his more at the end of his stroke.Eric's stroke is more of a deadman stroke,going past the ball,then brushing the ball back into the net.

What no invitation? Practicing for Tuesday's super doubles I see...

Simon - you should record Christian shooting straits!

So... Race Tims pull, Race Andy's pull, and for Erics pull race then wait.

lol Will checks these boards more often than his phone.....

straights are overrated. Tornado has somehow managed to get their wall in the way of my straights every time somehow.

Cool Graeme.

It's interesting to see what I'm doing from a different perspective. It certainly doesn't look quite like I thought that it would.

If anyone else is recording and hoping for slow motion, it works best with higher frame rates. My camera records at 720p at 60 frames per second. Then I use a program called JES Deinterlacer to turn it into slow motion.



Author: S. Edwards Reply #17 Posted: Nov 13 2010 8:19PM

mine does the same 720p at 60


Author: perennial underdog Reply #18 Posted: Nov 13 2010 8:47PM

By way of observation,there is a 'program' called severe inebriation which also helps to facilitate slow motion.


Author: eradicator Reply #19 Posted: Nov 13 2010 9:49PM

Graeme, I have no idea what level you're at, but if you want to learn the pull from videos you should record the shooter at other angles. You want to see the angle of their body, how far back from the table they stand, how far they stand back from the net, their posture and try different things out and be able to hit all the holes from the same stance.

Also, don't twist you're five rod when you shoot like Tim does :P


Author: S. Edwards Reply #20 Posted: Nov 14 2010 5:16PM

Graeme, this JES Deinterlacer looks like it's for mac. Can you (or anyone) recommend a windows based program?


Author: Aged Whine & Cheese Reply #21 Posted: Nov 14 2010 6:46PM

Simon: As Windows based programs go, I use Word, Excel and Outlook a lot. I would recommend them for most relevant tasks.

Now, if you are looking for an app that does what that JES Deicer does, then I can't help you.
