Dave's Aiming Method (DAM)

FYI, I just got the following PM from an AZB user:



For those interested, here is my reply:

I agree 100%. That's why I posted the spoofy DAM parody ... as a political statement against the aiming threads that unfortunately seem to be infiltrating the Main Forum again. We know from extensive past experience such threads don't end well on the Main Forum.

Dave

There's an aiming forum? :shrug:

Dave,

I guess you beat me to market. Little did I know I've been using this aiming system for most of my life. I thought I developed it myself. I can attest to its benefits. If you can consistently do the things described on your page, it works remarkably well. I used to refer to it as the "shoot the ball in the hole" method. Maybe we could team up and call it the "shoot the ball in the DAM hole" method? Whadaya say?

I don't think I like the acronym (STBITDAMH) very much, so I'll pass. DAM has a much better "ring" all on its own. :grin-square:

Dave

The only way to avoid having to practice is to purchase my entire collection of DVDs. Should I mark you down for the entire set? :grin-square:

I kind of like your TM idea. You better hurry up before I beat you to it. :grin-square:

I'm in as long as it doesn't involve a pivot (or dip, or limbo, or ram shot).

Since it takes two days to learn I will probably sign up for the five full days. As always you are a credit and inspiration to the board with all of, and now this latest and greatest, contributions. :grin-square: :wink:

I have spent so many hours on your website, I probably should buy the set just out of guilt. Love what you have done for players!
 
I love how Tor Lowry calls the aiming system he uses the "Natural Aiming System".

What does it consist of?

Drill the shot as often as it takes until you can pocket that ball naturally from the given position. Be it 15 times or 2000 times.
Do it again and again and again.....same shot.....sounds familiar.....?
Yes of course!
Most of the best pool players in the world have gotten where they are by doing it just like that.
Wanna play like a pro? Start DRILLING the same shots again and again!
 
I understand the satirical nature of your post Dave and the motivation.

Personally, the way the aiming fanatics take a run a the Main Forum every so often, I wish there was some way to make it a bannable offense.

I know you said you don't have a video yet but I will pay 10 times whatever you were going to charge for the first one released. I must have this before my next tournament in March!
Please, send it to me, please please please.
I promise not to even act like I know anything about it , let alone tell anyone.
Let those idiots laugh, I know this is real, please send to me.
Also please send me a video of how you make balls with those happy little kids running all over the place, breaking your focus.

I heard the difference between amateurs and professionals is that:
Amateurs practice a shot until they can make it.
Professionals practice a shot until they can't miss.

EXCITING NEW PRESS RELEASE FROM DR. DAVE:

I have invented an amazing and new aiming system called DAM that will revolutionize pool playing all around the world. You won't find DAM in any books, because it has just been recently invented. But rest assured ... all future pool books will present DAM in its full glory. DAM is the best and most complete aiming system, that also contributes to correct body alignment, that has ever been devised. Most of the pros use it, especially the Filipino players ... that's why they are so good. DAM works on every shot, regardless of the distance between the balls, or the angle and distance to the pocket. The best thing about DAM is you don't even need to know or see where the pocket is. Just align and pivot, and the ball goes in the hole. When a good player uses the system, it is impossible to tell ... it will just look like they are naturally pocketing balls. That's when you know they are using DAM!

Try to prove that DAM doesn't work ... you can't, because it does work. If you can't make it work, it is either because you really don't understand it or you don't have an open mind. If you ask a pro if he or she uses DAM, and he or she says he or she doesn't, it is because he or she doesn't want you to know his or her secrets. The DAM system will radically improve the shot-making abilities of those who spend the time to learn it. DAM will eventually become the "aiming standard" and will significantly accelerate your learning curve. There are those who will eventually learn the system, and there are those who will not, and be beaten by those who do. If you don't think DAM works, it is because you haven't had personalized lessons with somebody who truly understands it. I make almost every shot with this system ... I rarely miss. Isn't that proof of how good it is? Don't you want to be as good as me? If you want to master the DAM system, you must visit me in person and pay outrageous sums of money to learn all of the required intricacies.

It only takes two days to learn DAM, and if you practice it for two months, you will start winning tournaments. If you can't make it work, it is because you don't have enough "visual intelligence," in which case you are hopeless. Don't ask me to describe the system in words or with diagrams, because this can't be done; although, I do have lots of fancy words and phrases to describe various parts of the system ... aren't you impressed? If you don't believe in my system or if you doubt the validity of my approach, you will be banished by all of my followers.

Probably the most amazing fact about DAM is that it works for all types of shots, not just cut shots. It also gives you the correct line of aim for combos, caroms, and banks. And you don't need to adjust for speed, sidespin, throw, or spin-transfer effects. All of the adjustment happen automatically with DAM.

If you want to learn the magic of DAM, I am currently offering exclusive private lessons. I know this might sound ridiculous, but I must be clear on this matter: My students are not allowed to share with anybody anything they learn. They are required to sign a special nondisclosure agreement that binds them for life. People are willing to openly discuss and share everything they learn from my currently-available instructional DVDs; but if and when I ever release a DAM DVD, the information must not be disclosed by any viewers; otherwise, they risk exposing themselves to extreme wrath and persecution.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW, for a somewhat more serious, realistic, and useful description of what DAM actually is, see the DAM aiming system resource page.

Enjoy,
Dave

They don't end well on the Aiming Forum, either, and it's entirely because assholes who have no interest in doing anything but stirring up shit just can't resist overwhelming every thread with mocking negativity. But, hey, if you're gonna cause a trainwreck, might as well protect the general membership from having to look at all the dismembered bodies, eh?:rolleyes:

Frankly, I'm more than a little disappointed that you chose to post this rework of your "classic" aiming system, since you are well aware of the animosity this has cause between yourself and a certain well-respected teacher of a popular aiming system. Just when I thought you were out, you gotta pull yourself back in. :mad:

You are missing the point: at least the critics know were to play, when it comes to discussing aiming. In the Main Forum, you guys are like streakers -- running through here nekked -- in a pathetic attempt for attention.

You are missing the point. A player should be able to mention their ideas about aiming in the Main Forum without having them moved by default to a section that nobody goes except to argue and put other folks down. Thanks to guys like you, aiming - a most fundamental part of the game - has been relegated to an obscure sub-forum where practical advice on the matter is essentially absent.

BTW why do you say "guys like you" when referring to me? I'm not even an "aiming guy" in any devoted kind of way (I do aim, though), I just feel these people should have the right to express their opinions without ridicule. Personally, I have never started a thread about aiming on the Main Forum that I am aware of. I won't be starting any on the Aiming Forum, either, now that I see what comes out of it.

Pathetic attempt for attention? Hilarious, coming from a guy who just had to play a guy way below your skill level for $10K in front of a live audience, streamed over the interwebs so that everybody could see you (complete with your own introduction song, and even smoke for Gawd's sake). Then after you finished robbing him in broad daylight, you just had to start a multi-part thread telling us all about your magnificent victory. But NO-O-O-O-O... you're not an attention whore, are ya?:rolleyes:

You, sir, are the Prince of Pride.
