Is the Object Ball just a "Mirrored Reflection" of the Cue Ball

My hand is up on the 'not a full deck of cards'. That some fall for all the specious metaphors he comes up with, is symbolic of general card lacking amongst humanity.

I've friends who are good players who could hardly begin to type the rationality of their means of going about pool. But none have the hubris to type out such lurid theories, and with such hubris as does Master Wiley E Coyote, CEO ACME products.

It is gratifying to see, that a recognized expert, at conveying billiard knowledge, has similar thoughts as mine !..I was beginning to think there was more than ONE Mr. Liakos, who seems to easily grasp everything that flows from the (shall we politely say) 'seriously' altered' mind, of his hero ! :rolleyes:..

Actually what CJ writes makes perfect sense to those who realize what is actually is going on at any given moment inside your own mind!.. Obviously, there isn't much going inside yours!! And believe me when is say this, I envy you for that!! I truly wish I could shut down certain parts of my own brain at times!...This is in no way meant to belittle you SJD, I truly wish I had your ability to not see things!

I am extremely grateful, that I can 'turn off' the part of my brain, that would allow me to make ANY sense at all, of anything that Mr. Wiley can conjure up !.. I do NOT consider it a gift, Mr.Liakos..It is a necessity, for any 'normal' rational person who wishes to retain their sanity ! :sorry:

PS..However, I do admire Mr.L's uncanny ability, to make a silk purse, out of a sow's ear !..Or, in the case of CJ's ramblings,..a Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier, out of a six foot rowboat.(full of holes) :wink:

If anyone came on here and wrote the type of mystic baloney that CJ does, (accompanied by all the tween jpegs he prefers), they'd be laughed off the board. But because he was at one time a good player, some folks who should know better are lapping it up, actually thanking him, lol.

Amazin'.

I agree. I tell my buddy that every weekend when we play and he still doesn't quite believe it. He asks me, over and over, how I did a certain shot or figured it out and when I explain it to him he has trouble with it.

Like you, I see the table as one big rectangle, divided into two squares, that are broken down into smaller squares. They may not be "perfect" squares and diamonds, but they are "close" enough for figuring out very good approximations.

I almost give up trying to explain it to people who can't "see" and want to start telling you it doesn't work before they even try it.

If you don't try it and stick with it for a while, you may never see the benefit. If you spend "enough" time with it, you will see the benefits and it will open your eyes more. You will see through the mirrors.
Aloha.

I also see the entire table as two perfect squares, that are created by smaller squares (diamond quadrants), that are made by tiny squares of 1 1/8". It's how you identify subtle shifts in your eye placement, which cause illusions and missed shots. The same also helps identify strong alignments. I think I posted the above image back in 2007 or 2008.

Well, if he was "at one time a good pool player," why didn't you take him up on his offer to give you the last 4 playing 10ball, or whatever the monster spot was?


Amaaaaaaazin'.

He can get the "Last 5" playing 10 ball .... or I'll give him the last 3 and play with a "jump cue"......or give him 9/7 and play with a "jump cue" playing one-pocket.

Ask him if he likes those apples......he does like apples doesn't he? LoL

I'll guess we'll see if he likes apples LOL
 
Maybe someday he'll get "the CJ" out of his head, however.........

SJD reads ALL my posts, shaking his head in utter confusion.

Of course, he's an 80+ year old man that hasn't touched a pool cue since Popeye was drinking spinach out of a baby bottle.

Maybe someday he'll get "the CJ" out of his head, however, I doubt if it's anytime soon. :groucho:

I have no interest in playing you. I can get into all the trouble I want, on my own, right here in St. Louis.

That doesn't change the fact that you post like a 12-year old Taylor Swift fan ;-)

Mr. SJD, you are proving my point. You don't realize it, but you are! Don't try to think about what I'm trying to explain to you because you will not be able to comprehend it! Instead, try to get "The CJ" out of your head!

You're suppose to be the older man, the better man!?!?! But you keep going on and on trying to put CJ down because he posts things that you can't comprehend!

You're trying to play the "smart" guy right? Ok, let me ask you this question. If you were a member of a forum, say,,,,, I don't know,,, "pool". If you were at a certain level and you could justifiably know your level through constant drills and recording them. If you took the advice of someone(especially a world class player) who took the time to write a couple emails about trying to do something a certain way to help, and that brought your shotmaking % up by at least 10%, would you give that person any credit whatsoever??

Some say CJ is only trying to sell his products?!?! Good for him, this is America still! I haven't bought one thing from CJ (yet) and has been nothing but kind and gracious with his time and effort with me! AND HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW ME!!!!!!!!!

I think a lot you are just straight up jealous because "he can" and "you CAN'T"!

Others say he should go to the for sale section?!?! Ok and??? We are talking here on this section! I see a lot of "newer" players looking for advice on this and that! Last time I checked, this was a forum for pool related things, not sure what is wrong!?

You know, I have a small idea of how it is for CJ! I am/was an automotive technician and was pretty good at. Specializing in electrical, I could diagnose anything fairly quickly.

I was always trying to help those under me to understand automotive electrical because it gives me a great "high" to know I helped someone get there. BUT, there were a few jealous ones, especially when they knew I was making close to 6 figures doing what I did!

But nobody,,,,NOBODY saw the endless hrs of reading and countless nights staying after work and taking my scope and meters out and "learning" what I know today!

There is a sense of confidence when I walk through the door "knowing" I will figure it out! I guess CJ has that same mindset when he comes on here! He knows he will be dealing with strong players and C players and people like me somewhere in the middle(closer to the "C's") and he deals with all of us accordingly!

Good for you CJ, to that respect, I have a pretty good idea of how it feels;)
And yes(if anybody asks) it's an AWESOME feeling. And because of the blood sweat and tears it cost to get here, good for us;) we deserve a little recognition for our achievements! And, we will always have the haters;)
 
If you listen carefully you "will learn" to not suck up all the baloney CJ throws out.

Lou Figueroa

If CJ's posts upset you so much why to you read them? Wouldn't it be less stressful to ignore them instead of railing against him all the time? Just trying to help Lou. ;)

OK! Let's listen to the ex-PAOs instead, they don't throw out baloney...they throw out pure lies and BS. If you were still a PAO and was working for the White House, you'd be the "spokesman" out there fronting the Obamacare and Benghazi scandals and telling us how everything works according to plan...they like useful idiots.

Can you name a PAO, at any level, who ever said what "they" thought and not what "somebody else" told them to say? It is people like you who try to tell people "what to think". It isn't really your fault because you were easily brainwashed early in life and maybe have no recourse because you are unable to differentiate the difference now.

CJ throws out what he thinks...not what somebody told him to think. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.

Aloha.
 
Your perception of the "facts" is so far from reality it's disgraceful!

Lou Figueroa

If that's a fact, show some examples of how a "12-year old Taylor Swift fan" posts.
Your perception of the "facts" are far from reality, this statement proves it!

We can play in Hillsboro Mo. This is about an hours drive from where you play.

They do not upset me.

I merely comment on them. They're so remarkably absurd it's hard to resist ;-)
