I like your style sir, thoughtful and you don't respond to childish responses. Truly a class act in my opinion when it comes to posters on this site. Wish you nothing but the best.

This poster is Jeff Forney. I was able to recoup my money from PP right away when I saw it was him but I thought you should flag his IP address and his threads for other members.

Your goal should be to get the stick on the line & then have your body in a manner/position that will "allow" you to move the stick in a straight line. NO ONE can tell you to do XYZ to get THAT to happen.
If you set your body per xyz & that is not correct to allow the above, then you will always be fighting that faulty body position.
The way to do it right is to "focus" in the straight movement of the stick & "feel" hoe your body "needs" to be to "allow" it.
I ran into some eye issues & tip that was given to me is to pick the line with your eyes naturally on that line & get down for the shot while looking ONLY at the object ball until in position. IT helped but goes against what I used for many decades.
I hope something here 'fits' you & helps.
At all costs stay away from the Set, Pause, Finish(SPF) Family of instructors led by RandyG & Scott Lee. Tor Lowery has some fairly good stuff on DVD & YOUTUBE.
Best Wishes & Shoot "STRAIGHT"

I am 65 yrs. old & have been playing since I was 13. I have finished to 2nd. for MVP in every league that I played(which at time was 5 /week) to the guy who only qualified while I Played EVERY week. I also the award for Most Run Outs every time.
In that instructors forum, I would ONLY listen to Fran Crimi. She was a Top 10 Professional Player. Others are as CJ Wiley called them, Clowns. Matt Shermann goes against that as he is not in Lock Step with them.
As to the PSR, I basically use non & never have. Here is the ONE MOST IMPORTANT thing to focus on... move the stick "straight" on "every" plane. Do not even think about your elbow & the pendulum BS. Move the stick as straight as you can along the long axis of the "straight" stick. Your body will naturally adapt to what it must do to reach that goal of your "focus".
Forget Dr. Dave's stuff. There is "some" good info there but YOU will not be able to tell the real gold from the fools gold.

I don’t run the one pocket tournaments at Bogies, but help coordinate and get the message out to players. Regarding your tournament, I would suggest 9 ball. Seniors are much more familiar with 9 ball than ten ball and the better player has a big advantage in ten ball. You want the tournament to be as competitive as possible. There are some very good players 65 and over and you may want some kind of restrictions on known pros, games on the wire or something, or restrict the tournament to players with a Fargo rating under a certain number. Fargo rating is a pretty good guideline . Have it in a player friendly room with enough tables they are willing to give up for three days and added money helps. Keep the entry fee low to get enough players. Anything else I can do to help, let me know. John

Hello,
I was referred to you by someone on the AZ Site. I was seeking input on a 65 years old and over big table event we would like to have at our pool hall in Peoria,Il. Was thinking either a 9 or 10 ball tournament over 3 days, no jump cues. Would most likely cap at 64 players, what do you think would bring the most players? Thanks for your time.

The Billiard Encyclopedia is so cool. I am being very careful with it(incase you want it back). This book should be seen and read several times. Thanks Paul.
I want to make you a snooker cue to compliment your pool cue but I am slow. Maybe I can start on it when the snow flies.
I posted this via PM but your over topped. Must be great to be in demand

Mike, Thank You Very Much. You left my last post. Did you do that intentionally? It sort of seem out place now. If you like, I can wipe it & replace it with a Thank You to You.
