New podcast ep with master instructor Anthony Beeler

JeremiahGage
Hey everyone,

We just released a long-form interview with PBIA master instructor and ACS level 4 instructor Anthony Beeler for our podcast "Cue the Experts" and figured some of you might find it interesting.

He talks about learning pool in Kentucky country stores playing against farmers and hustlers, getting banned from local tournaments, and what 27 years of teaching has taught him about why players plateau. We also get into the BAM aiming method (his six-visual system), why he thinks pre-shot routines are underrated, and some wild stories from the table.

He's also got a new 284-page pictorial guide out that's been getting some buzz.

Would genuinely love to hear what ya'll think, especially anyone who's worked with his system or has strong opinions on aiming methods in general.

It was Roland Garcia that I heard the most people whining about. How do his numbers look?

4.9 113 Roland garcia

I have no idea why DigitalPool is not capitalizing his name. Seems like the sort of thing that someone should notice. In any case, he looks faster than most, but he might have been slower than his fast opponents. A 0-9 match against Filler can do wonders for your speed stat.

You can't be serious. From what i just witnessed he's ready right now. If Hayden plays Meglino a big set for big cash i know who i'm betting on. BTW, what does 'home state' have anything to with it? Is the crowd going to be all-Floridian? Please.

You don’t think Meglino at his age playing in his home state is more ready for that crazy stage than a 14-15 year old?

Using a "Touch" of outside on cut shots

I'm guessing it's how to hit a rail shot.

Yes. The advice in Mosconi's book is to hit the ball and cushion at the same time. That broken, wrong idea was debunked over 30 years ago.

And yet, within the past three months, I've seen two well-known instructors say that it is the right way to hit a rail shot.

I hope no one here is infected with the "ball and rail at the same time" stupidity.

Looking for a steel GCI foot

U
I'm in the process of restoring a late GCI and made a poor choice in trying to chemically strip the feet. Long story short, the center hole is now significantly too large for the height adjustment bolt. For the sake of simplicity, I'd love to just get my hands on another one and pretend this never happened. These are the heavier, nickel-plated variety and should be embossed with D-212079 and 13400 on the bottom. And if anyone has ideas for repairing this one without a significant price tag, I'm all ears.

Wu won at 16. World 9 ball champion

There’s the exception. And after his great 2005? Maybe Ernst will be an exception. This started as a Mosconi Cup question. I would be hesitant to put him on the team this year. I don’t think it would be that great for his development. That’s all. If he wins a world championship that would change things. But how likely do you think it is that he will win one before turning 18? This is not a knock on him. I was impressed with what he did at the Derby.
