Lou someone played john someone for 85,000 million dollars at something for some reason...

I must have missed all this from the start. What was it all about? I got wind of it happening yesterday ..

Who what what and why?
 
That's hard to believe as this has been going on for months now and counting your thread
there are no less than 9 threads at this moment on the first page of the main forum.
 
Thank you. What was the grudge then?

John believes in an aiming system that does not work and has been scientifically and conclusively proven not to work, where the user of the system just bears down on their shots more and ultimately subconsciously just aims instinctively and makes the aiming adjustment corrections using experience just like every other non system using person. Lou has explained this to John many times. John is not a science guy and doesn't get it and thinks that it actually works by magic in some other way other than the user ultimately just making subconscious aiming adjustments based on experience.

They have argued about it on several forums for years, maybe like 8 years. Lou points out that his aiming system is nonsense and doesn't at all work the way he thinks it does, and John makes a drama out of it every time screaming from the highest roof top he can find. Rinse repeat. Add in some forum bans here and there. Add in tons of barking back and forth over the years, mostly from John saying that with his aiming system (which has changed significantly and many times over those years by the way) you won't ever miss a ball (ok I'm exaggerating a little on this one but not by very much) and that with his system he would wipe the floor with Lou if they ever matched up. It took years but they finally made the game happen.

Hmmmm interesting...

The problem with "aiming systems" is that they may or may not work. I myself have a perfect aiming system. My eyes, which see perfectly. The problem I have, like most other people, is delivering the shot with my arm.

Consider darts. It is the easiest sport in the world. You have the dart in your hand. You can see the target. There are no angles to consider. There is the target. The treble twenty. But yet, mortals like us, fail to consistently deliver the dart to the target because our bodies are unable to meet the expectations of our eyes and our brain.

From experience, however, most pool players, especially on american equipment - especially into the corners which are ridiculously easy to pot into, fail not from delivery of a shot to cause a pot but more from a loss of position as a result of a lack of understanding of the path of the white after contact with the object ball. The result is that shots on (if even on) become increasingly harder until the run fails.
