Robin,
Firstly, let me say that another member posted a pic with a line running from the far edge of the OB to the thick hit pocket point that is similar to the 'reverse ghost ball' visualization method that you have in your book.
I think anyone that is having trouble undercutting balls should perhaps give one of those methods a try to see if it is something that might help them & decide if they wish to implement it in an ongoing basis, or not.
You told me that you were prepared for criticism & expected it & that you would not act like others & 'attack' those that expressed criticism.
Please look at what you now seem to be doing?
Knowledge & Feel are two totally separate & distinct things. One can have all of the knowledge in the world & have 'no feel'. One can also have great feel & almost no conscious knowledge of any of the whys but know a great deal about the how to get it done.
To me, the two don't really mix or even meet one another. One is in one realm & the other is in another realm.
Now... we, as the possessor of both, can use both in varying degrees for any given shot. We may use knowledge in determining the shot we want to shoot & plan for the outcome & then basically execute the shot almost purely by feel. Two totally distinct aspects.
You & some others don't seem to like CJ's approach to the game & how he is trying to pass it on. That's fine & is certainly your right. The same can be said by others about You, Roadrunner Randy, Me, Dr. Dave, or anyone else.
I & others get & understand from where CJ comes & how he puts out what he does. Others do not. CJ himself has said that what he is offering will probably only be accepted by 37% of those playing the game.
CJ certainly does not always speak literally or about specifics. Many times he is speaking about an approach of how to &/or a mind set...or a feeling. I & others mostly get what he means, but sometimes even we need to hear him say it another way for it to click. Sometimes he is just offering food for thought in hope that we will discover something on our own & that has happened rather often & some have stated that the seed that CJ planted has helped them when they nurtured it with a bit of investigative trial & error & they have thanked him for it.
I hope you can see & understand my points. I think everyone would be better off if we can simply discuss aspects & let the readership make their own determinations, as well they should & leave personality out of the picture.
Text format is not the easiest & best means of true communication in a conversational type platform. Many times what one 'says' is taken wrongly on the receiving end.
Again, I hope you can see & understand my points.
Best 2 You & All,
Rick
