Obviously the best post in this thread and 100% true.
Anytime I see "Pro Player" above a name...Keith, CJ, Daz..etc, I know I want to hear ANYTHING they have to say...in what other forums do you see the pro's interact with the fans. Tiger and Phil aren't in the Golf forums posting in threads or answering PM's...and if you wanna go with the age/retirement thing...neither are Nicklaus or Palmer. Why drive them off??

You're right, compared to yourself and "others," I've been a low achiever this year.
I apologize, since being active on this forum I've only made the 'Touch of Inside' video, 'Billiards Inside Secrets', 'TIP Banking Secrets' - also YouTube videos of 'Running 29 Balls in One Pocket' 'Beating the Ghost Playing Rotation, etc (click here to see any of these free videos) - this year I"ve made several other videos further explaining my systems and techniques but it's not enough....it's never enough to satisfy this demanding game.
Another part of the "research and development" (in 2014) was participating in over 100 tournaments this year.....this proved to be an essential part of our game's epiphany.
Maybe taking time to be the Captain of the Mosconi Cup was what slowed me down. After all we lost by one match on the final day.....that would discourage many from trudging forward (Mike D and Brandon S. hasn't played in the MC since).....hopefully in 2015 they will attempt another appearance.
We have now created a pool game that showcases the best qualities (strategic battling/sparring and high-level shotmaking) of the game and look forward to selected players experiencing the differences, it will give commenters some interesting things to discuss and talk about.. 'The Game is the Teacher'
What amazes me the most is that you even seem to take yourself seriously in these posts.
I should've just kept this nonsense on ignore.
If you ever do anything besides try to sell videos about nothing in particular or copy and paste the same exact story from the last few years, let me know. Adios.
"Fat Boy" - he's certainly a neutral source on pool related subjects
You've made it clear that you feel "funny inside" when you think someone is "bragging" on themselves (pro athletes have an agreement - "it's only bragging if it's not true").
Who would you like to hear from, how about "Fat Boy" - he's certainly a neutral source.

I have a hard time respecting (or relating to) someone who thrives on self-promotion, and fills thread after thread, with self glorification, self-engrandisement, (sp) and name dropping.

Seriously, if you don't have a humor detection mechanism it would be wise to get your Pituitary Gland checked.

A two foul matchup between you and Mr. Keith would be quite a show. Throw in some other venues and declare the winner in a 3 out of 5 series to showcase both of your strong suits. I'd put in a few shekels to the pot and pay to watch the PPV. It could be played over a weekend and winner take all.
Playing one foul would be too much of a grind. When I practice or play cheap, I rarely play safe. I like to go for the out and challenge myself. That's what I like to see when I watch top players match up. Seeing how much heart a player has is the draw in high stakes pool. Even a non-player would recognize that.
Best,
Mike
One foul only requires about 20% of the full arsenal of any champion player.
In the 70s and 80s it was rare for anyone to play "one foul" - however, the best players were very tough to "luck out on," and this was a concern for the promoters. They thought it would be bad for Buddy, Earl, and Sigel to dominate, although they did anyway, playing an inferior game.
The "cream" will always rise to the top, the important distinction is when they are required to utilize all their skills to reach "#1". One foul only requires about 20% of the full arsenal of any champion player.,,,,this means there's 80% we will not see.
The Pool Game is doing okay considering it's only 20% of it's potential...wonder what it could do with 80%?.....90%?.....100%?

So when Shane is making a ball on every break at shooting at a 950. clip how does this slow him down

Running a rack isn't the toughest part of pool....not by a long shot
Breaking like that turns the game into a "par 3 course" (golf analogy) where you take all the mid and long irons out of play. Pool's the same way, when a champion player breaks and runs a rack it only requires about 2-5% of their total ability.
The best part of their games will hardly ever surface. This is a tragedy because these skills are the most entertaining (for fans) and challenging (for players).

This is one of the most inane non-answers in your long history of non-answers.
Breaking and running out 9 balls has nothing to do with 1 or 2 fouls, it's great pool. How you could minimize it is unbelievable.

Easy there fella.
You're talking to the guy that ran 29 balls into a single pocket, and sacrificed his entire year of doing something meaningful to do so.

I agree with much that you wrote but must take exception to the middle paragraph. First of all, Keith was 11 years younger at that US Open. 46 years old is not old & dead in the game of pool. I would also ask you this; Do you think his constant consumption of alcohol during his matches helped him get that far or do you think it may have led to his demise in the end?
If you want to think about things you need to think about both sides of it.

Of course you're right. I always forget about his tremendous run at 1 pocket. He has sacrificed much for us.

So again Splain how you stop that with 2 foul ,
Just a little Keith side story , Keith played in one of our local weekday Turneys here , one time he caught one of our local sharp shooters Danny Green , can't remember the order of this , but one of them ran the set out the next week the other returned the favor ,, now that may not seem like skilled pool to you , but I know you have seen Keith play , and trust me here Danny in top gear is a serious player ,, ,, you could'nt finish a cup of coffee in the time these 2 took to run the set , it truly is a thing of beauty watching pool at that level ,

Neutral source? He's certainly weak sauce.
i thought this thread was about CJ Wiley v Keith McCready rematch?
i believe it needs to happen, if for no other reason - HISTORY. they need to be documented, as two of "The Greats". Life's short.
and to sweeten the pot.... i'll throw-in my hat AND matching lizard boots! if CJ loses, i want to see this: :yikes:
