Videos.

I have watched your video twice now on dbl. the distance and playing safes. I think its excellent information, and its free! Hard to beat the price. I plan on watching it again today just to make sure I've got it down. That's some good stuff. Thank you.

A favorite student of mine, Mirza, is taking up with with CTE PRO ONE quite well. Mirza recently shared some left and right visual sweeps with me.
There are lots of satisfying moments as an instructor but my experiences with Mirza ranks at the very top.

As far as 1P goes you cant beat any of Grady Mathews DVD's and Scott Frost's Power 1P. Also, as far as any game goes you cant beat Tor Lowery's Kicking and Banking DVD's. Jimmy Reid also has a good package out called "Almost All I know"

Straight Pool is the best game to practice for position training and patterns.

Don't forget 9 and 10 ball, for sending the cue ball for multi rail position.

All of the above are great games. :wink:

Nice DTL.

P.S. I hate you :)

I am trying to break 100 - just started playing this game about 3 weeks ago. Moving in 2 weeks so I will have the space needed (no more short cues). Will be having a ceremony to burn them in the backyard.

Congrats again!

I have this thought, aiming systems are better received through "hands on" instruction.

While a video or book can be very useful, hands on is the best for aiming.

What do you think?

We believe "hands on" instruction is superior in all sports and games. I can't imagine learning the martial arts off a video or reading a book/magazine/forum. My TOI video is 90 minutes, after being reduced from 11 hours of information. The information is condensed so it must be studied several times to absorb and process the information.

Teaching by writing has become a personal challenge, we certainly have to be willing {and able} to describe the system in up to 20 different ways to get to the majority of readers. The issue is everyone has their own preconceived notions before they start to take in the information.

This is what the master told the professor "empty your cup before your mind will take in new information (tea)". 'The Game is the Teacher'

FAMOUS QUOTES FROM MASTER

"You cannot learn anything if you already feel that you know."

"Preconceived ideas and prejudices always prevent us from seeing the truth."

"You should open your mind before you open your mouth."

"The master is trying to tell him to ease back and relax. The professor is too anxious about the whole thing."

"Some people want to be taught everything in one sitting. It's not possible."

Video->CTE Pro One versus Perfect Aim aiming systems

As per JB's advice I'm adding my video in this thread:

I've recently purchased a full HD camera and thought to test it while shooting some pool.
And because I'm trying to decide which aiming system to use constantly in order to become more consistent, I decided to record a friendly competition between Stan Shuffett's CTE Pro One and Gene Albrecht's Perfect Aim systems :-)
To be honest both systems are great, I'm more comfortable with Perfect Aim because I've used it for like 3.5 years before I decided to give CTE Pro One a chance. But once I've become a bit more accustomed with Pro One I can say that I really like it, it's very objective, if you follow the steps you arrive in the center of the cue ball on the correct shot line!

Perfect Aim on the other hand requires quite some feel, you need to know from experience that perfect picture you want to get while standing and while getting down in your stance - and how to always keep the dominant eye in the dominant position for correct alignment.

In the video I run a rack of 8 ball using Perfect Aim on each shot, and then run the next rack using CTE Pro One on each shot, while trying to explain a bit after each rack how I shoot with each of these systems.

Hopefully my video can help someone who is struggling with either one of these systems: http://youtu.be/rlZIoPdWNR4

This is my first time posting a video of myself shooting, the position of the camera is not the best but hope it's acceptable...
