What Type of Cueist Are You & Why Do You Think Your Way is Best?

ENGLISH! said:
Dave,

You must have been locked up in your subjectivity & missed all that I have said about one's subconscious mind.

Saying something is objective when it is not does not MAKE it so...

but somethings are OF the mind.

Best Wishes for You & Yours,
Rick

You are correct, I have not seen/read any of what you have said about one's subconscious mind. I have read a fair bit on the subject however. I have no idea why you suggest I am locked up in my subjectivity. Is that an attempt at an insult ?

Acceleration of a cue is more physics (simple mechanics really) than subconscious mind matter. Scotomas are everywhere, and one needs to watch :grin-square: for them. Perhaps you are more of a scatoma fellow (my attempt at an insult :lmao: ).

Allen,

Did you read my description that sort of defined how I am using the terms?

Do you push the cue?

Best Wishes.

I did, but for some reason I can't wrap my head around it.

I don't know what I do to be honest with you. It just happens.

If the angle between the upper & lower arm is more than 90* & closing then I would say that one is pulling the cue.

Extend your arms & then pull someone like your wife close to you. Reach back behind you & pull the door shut.

I hope that helps. I also hope that you are not being disingenuous given our recent history.

Best Wishes.

I meant no insult. It was merely playing with words as you said I was all about objectivity.

My real physical vision is blurred but my outlook & understnding of matters is just fine.

Some are naive to much of what is actually going on.

A certain PBIA instructor slipped up once & called what they have a money boom. I thought that was I bit telling.

Best Wishes for You & Yours.

Keebie,

You scared me, man. You really did.(Green text usually denotes sarcasm.)

Bullies like you driving members away or into submissive silence is one of if not the biggest issues here on AZB. Bullies...me...really lol thats hilarious......strange for a bully i sure do get plenty of nice things said, messages etc etc.....only people on here that evver had real issues with me....aint here no more buddy, they trolled out and ran out of chum finally.

Your no mystery to long time members, because we have seen your kind come and go here. You know....the kind without substance and only ridicule, looking to draw attention because they are lonely or bored or heck i have no idea and dont care.


Please tell me when you bought AZB from Mike & Jerry & made it your place, your little boys club, that you & others built... for YOURSELVES. (who is this yourselfes? i must be now grouped into a solid PBIA brainwashed punch drinker i guess?

If you can't bully me out all on your own, then ask Neil, Tony, RJ, & Scott for help. Bully you? Come now tee....i stook up for ya moe than once, even took my time to give you a recipe of mine.....but if calling you out for half and underhnded extremem passive aggressivness wrapped in "best wishes for you and yours" isnt fooling everyone....maybe some poor newbs who probably think your the bees knees here cuz you got how many posts now? Ever heard of quality over quantity? Must be a die hard box food eater....

When you get your paper you can officially join the club. I am not the clubbing type, no league, no frats....i live in my world not anyone elses. if theres a group people can say for certain i'm part of its here....see if ya knew who I am actually or was even remotely affiliated with my past here....you would know i very much think for myself and dont foolyourself if ya thinki only know spf/pbia things......do yourself a favor and go find more elbow dropping nonsense and learn something for a change instead of playing the knowledgable victim all the time. Matter fact please show me some amazing write up you have done thats without a doubt your own words, meaningful, insightful and actually makes sense thats not hijacked from someone else???? Ill wait.....because every one of the "bullys" you mentioned including myself have been there done that many moon ago......didn't you try all your moves with Dr. Dave as well? lol. Next your gonna call all the ones that know things the pool illuminati lol.

Best Wishes for You & Yours.

trust me ding dong i'm no bully, and its no threat to beat you up or something retarted.....lmfao....what the hell for? But its nothing to take 5 sec here and there to bust on you like you try to bust on others for no good reason cept you got a bone to pick.


and as for something hadn't cahnged since i wasn't on for while.....i have not even a cluewhat that even supposed to be about......what that i had freinds and such on here, some folks i respect and i still have them and feel they deserve andhave earnd such? For SHAME....when i make friends i actually keep them...who'd a thunk it!!!

I was plenty enough of an outsider, got in plenty of arguments here in my own right.....i'm still and outsider, just because i may or may not be popular here or whatever changes nothing. Neil dont bullshit and I wouldn't doubt he would agree with me.....and its been a long time since i evven spoke to neil via a message much less anything more than that.....theres no conspiricy man.

either you are what you are being pegged as....or your the worst writer and connotation implementer in the western world.......you seem vvery much intelligent....so everytyhing points to you being a turd and not very nice, its just putting lipstick on the pig is what i finally see.....all it took was for ya to try to move on me.

and honestly, if this is all overblown by all of us....by me....well it sure is coincidence that youve been told this and people have been upset by you for some time, long time since before i ever got back on here.

all for the same reasons.......basiclly....i mean i've seen stan shuffet online for a very long time.....and i never seen stan act like that with that whole deal wih you basically when you first contacted me.......i really thought stan was just being a *****, but i dont remember stan being a ***** to anyone before that (not saying for certain, just anobervation....you know right, objective stuff)

none of it made sense......the more i read ya.....the more the cloaks coming off.

I dont want to meet you not because of some beef or fight....i dont want to meet or know you becuse you seem like a extremely shady person. You been making my spidey senses go off for a while now and its almost always right.......i aint risking the possibilities......

so bye rickdickulous

I was being serious. Thanks for explaining it for me. I'm just trying to learn a little something.

Fair enough. In this context a scotoma is a mental blind spot. There are many examples of this, like the text that has a repeated word where our mind "skips" the repeated word so we understand the message. Here is a reasonable more general explanation :

http://aha.zone/scotoma-solution/

Basically a scotoma is a delusion. Most pool players suffer from them, as do golfers and many other sportsmen. Most who quote numbers to describe their prowess or abilities are projecting a delusion as they really have no objective measurements they simply have their own feeling on the matter. Unfortunately objectively measuring things often makes the activity less enjoyable and can hurt our self esteem. Most everyone thinks they are better than they are.

Bye ghost. You are no longer invisible to me as you have shown your true self to me & others, but I hope to never 'see' you again, but somehow I think that is unlikely.

All Best Wishes for You & Yours.

You seem to not be a very Christian kind of guy.

Thanks, but that does not apply to me in either context.

I know that I am not as good a player as I was before my eye accident & I am NOT locked in on anything here to the exclusion of all else & I do not have any self inflated ego issues as rather many here seem to have.

Best Wishes for You & Yours.

Rick,(no offense to the community) you need to learn that most people have no concept of what or where the "subconscious" is! You will have a difficult time trying to conveying your thoughts on the subject.

I do applaud your endeavor though:)

Deep down I feel that I know what it is...

I sometimes wonder how many on AZB are seeing or have seen a clinical psychologist.:wink:

Then I realize that about 1/2 of the voting population voted democrat in the last two presidential elections.

As to the sales thing, I'd say about 1/2 the voting population can see through sales tactics & know when they are being sold a bill of goods in one manner or the other.

Best Wishes for You and Yours.

Beside all of the comedians which is fine...

This thread went south at post #40 & that was on page three(3).

I think some may actually be afraid to find out some things about what type of stroke they are using & it seems that perhaps some may not want them to know that their are other methods.

Hence, kill any discussion. This is not the first time that it has happened.

Best Wishes to ALL.

No matter what kind of stroke you use, there is something everyone should try, the 4 points of contact stance (you can modify it for pool, by bending both legs, if you are tall). Once you learn how to use this, it makes playing consistently so much easier, it feels like cheating. It helps straighten any kind of stroke, because you instantly feel the cue going off line and the contact points also prevent this from happening. Sorry if this is off topic.

The thread went south at post 1. English you are the ultimate troll and victim. I never understood how someone could enjoy being a victim. You speak of other forum members needing psychological help and that is the ultimate projection. Haven't you realized that there are problems in every thread you are involved in?

It is not really off topic at all.

One can not keep/maintain a 4 point contact when using a full pendulum swing as the cue is rocking up & down, etc.

A very good player in my area actually has a 5 point contact in that his chin & nose are in contact with the cue.

Until rather recently I used a more square snooker type stance for 45 years, but without locking the knee & I have always been a low head player but never could get my chin on the cue & be comfortable enough to play.

Thanks for the post & the link.

Best 2 Ya.
