Show some respect. You may not like what he has to say, but you haven't the sand to bad mouth his game.
Don't mind me. I'm only here to stir a little shit. :smile:

I stumbled across another real "gem" of a post from you, that I had not replied to ! (not that it matters)...I would venture to say, I have often competed with probably as many, or more, name players..than Mr. Wiley !.. Especially as it appears he was a mostly a tournament player, and a ring game addict. (except for his 'road trips'..hustling sucker's)
Let me throw out a few names of my regular 'playmates'. (not that you will recognize any of them)..Wanderone, Matthews, Allen, Kelly, Hall, Cooney, Frost, Owens, Ambrose, Heisler, Perkins, and several dozen others, who played just as good, but were not as well known..(kinda like me)
PS..I omitted all the first names, just so you could hit google, and learn them !
Do you have to search hard, to find these posts that make absolutely NO sense whatsoever ?..Or do you just keep them stored in your computer for the times you can't answer a simple question ?..You must have 'thousands' of them!
My standard reply to Mr. Rose. (I only need one)

Just my two cents here, but I always thought that the wrists were only along for the ride.
The true power in the stroke, much like the golf swing, comes from the forearms. Or, in this case the forearm.
Am I right here, or am I just as screwed up as the rest of you? :smile:
i've been weeding through the PMS posts. plus, my wrist is sprained - let's just say it was "pool" related....
I hope it was the swimming pool
It's raining so much here in Texas I just saw an old many building an ark.
Sorry about the SJDPMS posts, it's my dad, he's finally hitting bottom.
Yes, strong forearms are important in golf and in pool, however, it's still the wrists and fingers that create the acceleration at the moment of contact.
Many players do this simply be squeezing their hand, although the wrist must be slightly cocked for this to be most effective.
I teach both ways, and generally the student will prefer on right away.
Once a boy reaches puberty he willl aquire all the wrist skills needed to shoot pool
It's astonishing to me that theres over 150 pages on the most natural simplist part of a pool stroke

I have this feeling, one stroke, that wrists really haven't anything to do with it. :smile:
.I must ask..What is an "old many" ??????.
Sorry Dad, it was a typo, it should say *man - an "old man" was building an ark
You're not going to torture me in the basement again are you?

LMAO! I don't think you are that lucky. I think he will continue to "torture" you here.
Yesterday, my playing partner asked me to explain how I aimed and played again. I think he is finally seeing the light.

It's funny how the ego of pool players keep them from experiencing new, and more effective ways of playing.
Yes, the wrists are a natural part of the pool stroke.
It's all done with pressure, some would call leverage. The key to being able to do some of the extreme stroke shots is using the cue as a lever.
....Let me throw out a few names of my regular 'playmates'....
Yup
With the cue shaft resting on the middle finger (closed bridge) of the bridge being the leverage point. With an open bridge the "V" formed by the thumb and index finger knuckle of the bridge being the leverage point

Dick - quick question cause we're re-watching the COM right now. KK9 says you had to have known/played Grady Matthews....true?
I always felt like I owed pool, not the other way around, especially the great discipline of One Pocket. I thought that maybe this match could be set up for maybe $10,000 total, so Dick and I would only have to come up with $5,000 each. Just to be Dick's partner would be an honor. My own money always played but lately I am having cash flow problems.--Of course there are other possible partners but, you guys need to understand, to me Dick is the embodiment of class and ability in a pool player.
