Sigel most definitely is a tournament soldier, as evidenced by his portfolio of major wins. He also is known in some circles as Mike the Mouth, and there's a reason for that. He definitely had his own unique personality and brought a lot of entertainment, still does, on and off the table. But his other moniker is Captain Hook, and that's his tournament persona because he was capable of hooking anybody in competitions.

Thanks for your input. Mike Sigel was my favorite player in the early 1980s. I was glad to be present for his first world championship. I knew him just a little back then, but now he's a close friend. I had breakfast with him as recently as November 2025.

I have suggested on this forum that if Mike had not, for practical purposes, retired from competition in 1993, he, not Efren, might be remembered as the greatest player of all time. He was still one of the best few when he retired and had a lot of titles left in him. For me, he remains the only player that I'd call a top five straight pooler and a top five nine-baller of all time.

I really enjoy reflecting on the 1980s when Mike was doing his very best work ... and when I was about a thirty-year-old young man, LOL.

I thought that said MidAmerica yesterday

I'm a firm believer that if something works for you, then keep doing it. If it doesn't, then don't do it.

I have always been a CBL player with some exceptions.

Considering all pool teachers encourage proper fundamentals in lining up your shot, going down onto the shot and being in the correct line for the shot when down on the table, it should not make a difference where you look. You should be making no further adjustment; you should simply be stroking the ball and it should not matter if you close your eyes (which I have tried to prove a point) I look at the cue ball because I imagine the cue going through the cue ball in a straight line and looking at the cue ball keeps my focus on hitting it exactly where I want to hit it.
