Practice what I Preach

The exergeni type exercise is 3 ball.
The break is The most critical shot in any game.
Cole coaching was huge.
So the perfect 3 ball break has whitey pop 7 inches straight back. A quick 10 minutes practice with table laps.

Gather them up and do it again. The path of the break pad with draw in the triple distance 21 inch range.
Not bad for a second attempt.
Lefty gers the next shot. 10 minutes budget so gotta go.
My project is in line.

Measle balls in practice

Disagree,somewhat. The dots have 'some' place as far as watching a match but i don't think they help teaching/learning much. IMO most players learn how to use spin by watching the cb's reactions/movements and not looking at the ball spinning. Pool was played a gillion yrs before this thing came out, you really think players have improved because of it? How did Efren, Earl, Mosconi,Buddy, etcetcetc ever get so good without one?

I've been playing pool an embarrassingly long time, and there are still times and situations when I watch the cue ball spin after I took a shot and wonder how the hell I did that. I'll make the same shot over and over until I understand what's going on. The pure white ball guards its secrets jealously.

Jump Bridges?

I remember seeing one, Years ago...was good for when cue ball was very close to the ball being jumped-you bridge head flexed and the cue could easily rest at a very highly elevated postition and no wobble and worked pretty good...i dont think it caught on
Maybe that was the Eazy Jump that is the wood part of the photo here.

Now, that seems to violate pool rules while EZ Jumper does not:
Eazy Jump is a novel piece of equipment;​
Eazy Jump does not have you place the palm of your hand on the table.​

Senior Tom also mentioned another jumper besides EZ Jumper but didn't post a photo. Here is his panned "Jump Bridge":​
