Stan's Curious Curtain Video

One thing that I know trying to study a video with a camera in one place looking for differences in body position is difficult at best.

Having a foot obscured by a table, and not having any frame of reference on the floor(a grid system) would help.

In order for me to be totally objective about it, I would have to attach transparent overlays on my screen and use markers to draw the lines of the cue head feet and hand position. then I would have to compare these, which is what SPF instructors do when a stroke analysis is done.

When I get bored I might try it.

Until then, I think Busty's Ferrule is made of Unicorn Horn, :wink:

If magic is what you think it is, then sure I believe in it.

Look, I know you have nothing to do with this kind of stuff.

I am giving you examples where you can see with your eyes. Unless you are blind, or you don't want to realize that these guys play another game.

Which has nothing to do with what you teach.

Pay attention to the first and third shot. It's the same shot.

The difference is in the stroke - speed.

If you don't agree or you see the same stance, I am ok with it.

You could say that it just happened to place his foot like that. For comfort or he was lazy.

I know he is playing with "unforgiving" strokes. If something is a little bit off, the shot doesn't go. But if everything is "on" he will make anything. He is the best shotmaker of all times.

Then where is it pointing?

It's pointing nowhere.

It's parallel to the shot line. Just like in the third shot !!!!

Man, why are you trying to play games with me ?

You asked for videos of Bustamante.

I give you specific shots and you are acting like 2 year old boy.

Do you want more videos and shots ?

At 3.35 same angle to the right with hard stroke.

Parallel to the shot line ???

If you tell me again that his foot is parallel to the shot line, I am putting you on ignore. I now you don't mind because I suspect you are are "a troll" , but It will be good for me.

I have no idea what you guys are arguing about, and I really don't need to know, but I can say that nothing at 3:35 is parallel or perpendicular to anything at all in that shot. (feet and cue, I mean).
 
The only importance of the left foot's position is balance, stability, and consistency.

If you honestly think otherwise, then perhaps you should make sure these guys are aware.

No Dan !!!!

You are wrong !!!!

Cookie says his foot is parallel to the shot line !!!!! It's very clear !!!

He said that in the first shot which was the same angle hit with a hard stroke.

Great and I admire these guys.

But they couldn't compete at the highest level.

Same thing for basketball. I guess you have seen something similar in basketball. Or any other sport.

You have your opinion and I have mine.

I saw no comment from you on the shots I posted. I show you hard shots with exactly the same footwork, stun shots with other foot position, banks, etc...

Foot work is not for stability. It is used to cut the ball.

It's not on this shot. It is pointed way to the left for the cut shot and he points his foot straight forward when the shot is almost straight in

And it's a little past parallel actually. Totally different then straight ins.

Ok then,

I told you I will do it. Just give me some time.

Now, can you tell me if you noticed something different in his footwork ?

And it wasn't also in the first shot. Go back and watch.

The third shot is not straight. It's the same angle but he hits with medium speed.

You just don't know how it works. Nothing wrong with this.

What is wrong is you trying to prove me wrong when you have it in front of your eyes.

I applaud you for actually studying the pros. Few will take the time to do that. That said, you are barking up the wrong tree with your conclusions.

For starters, to come to a meaningful conclusion, you would have to have video of him having the exact same shot and shooting it at different speeds while having a clear view of his foot position to see if it actually is different. Your video clips do not supply that.

Nope. Plenty of guys back then and now that were just as good as Bustamante (if not better), and none of them used their footwork to cut the ball.

Never said there aren't great players who don't play like Bustamante or Reyes.

And never said you have to play with Bustamante's footwork to play well.

Every great player has his own secrets. And knows how to hit the shots. If you ask an "A" player he will tell you he knows how to deal with speed. He has a way for adjusting. But he will not tell you he hits everything the same.
