I think its great whenever someone thinks outside the box and tries something unconventional. Sometimes you have to ignore everybody who tells you why you shouldn't do something, and just try it! This game is not just all about how many balls you can run. It is also about the fun in leaning new things along the way.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

"outside the box' "unconventional" "learning new things"
" ignore everybody who tells you why you shouldn't do something"


LMAO Nice advice. Happy Easter

Thanks. That kind of thinking is what prompted me to call Hal Houle 20 years ago. However, it is possible to be open minded while at the same time not be gullible, for some of us anyway.

Happy Easter to you as well.

Hal Houle was a genius. Did any of it rub off on you?

Hal called me out of the blue one day, 20 some odd years ago (back when we all had land lines and listed numbers).

He started off by asking if I was anywhere near a table and I told him no. That didn't stop him from launching into a description of his system. I listen for a while but it became obvious to me that he has calling from a very deep rabbit hole I was not willing to go down. Eventually he ran out of gas and the conversation ended. Nice guy. It's shame he didn't share with us all more about his time traveling with Greenleaf. That would have been some interesting stuff.

Agreed. His Greenleaf stories were interesting. I'm still not quite sure what Hal was a genius of, though. cookie seems to want to get into another argument as he is baiting again.

Baiting lol.. Hal was a genius with pool and aiming systems. You said you called him, just wondering if any of his aiming genius rubbed off on you. Did you dismiss everything after the phone call, like Lou's supposed phone call when he dismissed everything.

PS Hal is on record as to never calling Lou.. He was running around with Greenleaf, why call Lou.

Same thing happened to me, about the same 20+ years ago.

Very nice guy, like you said, and I hear he played well. But his aiming ideas had lots of... um... "alternative facts". His legacy in that department lives on.

Hal may have called you back after you called him. After all his number was well published on all the pool forum sites

Nope. Why does the idea that he called me (or Lou) bother you so much?

I give him credit for calling those who questioned his teachings to try to make us understand. I think it means he believed what he was teaching - I believe that about Stan too (although Stan has never called me).

He had the line on you, wasn't going to give you the good stuff
You mean like this "good stuff"?

Where in the world would Hal get your number and why exactly would he bother with someone that didn't want to learn

Don't worry PJ. Hal gave the good stuff to Stan and Stan is putting it all out there in his "Truth Series". Rumor is even you will be able to understand it completely if you try even a little bit.

I didn't ask him either of those questions - like Lou, I just tried to insert "uh huh" at the appropriate places. He was very nice about it, but that doesn't mean any of it made sense.

Does the idea that he called us make you jealous, or what?

I had a listed phone number for years and years and lots of people on RSB and ASP had my phone number. Also, back in the "old days," you could just call 411, tell them what city, and they'd look up the number and give it to you.

Hal called me after there had been a few discussions about his system on RSB. I wasn't a believer (then as now) and I guess he thought he could illuminate if not persuade me. I'm pretty sure I wrote about his call way back then and other times since.
