News Release....No Humor Allowed - Serious Pool "gurus" Only
Well, let me give you an example.
PJ (and I believe Neil) asked you about the test for hitting the CB off center. You responded “Hold on for a minute and I'll send the info telepathically.” To me, that would not be very logical. But maybe that was you just making a funny.
But then, in your next post you went on to say, “You don't really think you can learn without doing....I can tell if you're applying this this on the table or just trying to pick holes in it by how you frame your responses..there's one question you should be asking already....so, with all due respect, if you're looking for me to magically explain it so you somehow get "enlightened" you probably already know too much ... you may need to empty your tea cup LoL” Once again, not a particularly logical or scientifically based response. (And that last part was the Zen thing I was referring to.)
Your “argument” was about how hitting the CB off center reduces the effect of hitting it left or right of where the player intends to hit it.

My "argument" as you call it was not " hitting the CB off center reduces the effect of hitting it left or right of where the player intends to hit it."
It was "if you intentionally hit the cue ball to one side of center it prevents you from hitting the other side unintentionally and therefore squirting/deflecting/veering the ball the wrong way by accident....thus, giving you the ability to aim at the UNDERCUT side of the pocket and deflect/squirt/veer it INTO THE MIDDLE OR OVER CUT SIDE ....that's what I've been calling the 3 PART POCKET SYSTEM (ref.
www.cjwiley.com) which is in my DVDs that I made after getting to the ESPN Championship FINALS 3 years in a row.....do I think this helped me become World Champion?
ABSOLUTELY....am I trying to convince you it works? .....Why would I, you may not even be a pool player or want to improve ...I'm merely trying to help someone that may be reading this right now that's stuck and can't move on to the next level....because I can actually relate to how someone feels
BECAUSE I HAD TO START OVER again 3 years ago after taking over 10 years off.....I'm not charging or taking any hand outs for this, I'm just "sharpening my skills" so that I can teach on my new DVD better.....and again, this is to help thousands of people play better pool so they enjoy it more and talk positively about it.
Do you really believe I think I can send things telepathically or did you secretly KNOW I WAS JOKING? I doubt if I'm out of line to ask someone to try what is being discussed before asking questions that are more about challenging someone than expanding your own pool knowledge..and if you can't do that I have every right to say "you already know to much". If this offends you it reflects on you not even understanding the "argument", or what I thought it was "a topic of discussion"....be careful how you label your discussions.
You did see that I put "LOL" after the tea cup/enlightened remark..
THIS MEANS I WAS JOKING.....you need to relax, unwind and learn how to take a joke....I don't take this stuff obviously as serious as you..I can perform the techniques I speak of as good as anyone ...can you perform yours? I would think if you were comfortable in your own "pool skin" you would have laughed at my post instead of
puffing up like an alpha male turkey on a buzzard rock 
...and if you want to hold this against me personally it's your God given right to do so, I know better than to interfere ...so take a breath, notice the the feeling of your chair, blink, feel your pulse, breath one more time....now you feel better and your game may have improved in the process.....you're welcome :thumbup:
