Dr. Dave presents a new diamond system for aiming sliding bank shots. It is called the twice-plus-tenths system. It is more accurate than all the other systems, including the 1/3-more-than-twice system, and it works over a wider range of angles. It measures everything relative to the rail grooves across from the diamonds instead of through the diamonds. The origination rail number is always twice the banking rail number plus that many tenths. Speed, spin, and cut angle effects are also demonstrated, along with how to aim cross-side and long banks in addition to cross-corner banks.
