But, people are going to think he's doing some top secret stuff. Well, some anyway.
Reminds me of people claiming Earl Strickland turns the cue on his follow through to get more spin.
Geez, I wonder who that might be. Anybody we know?

I have answered every question you've posted until the most recent, exceptionally rude post. I've answered some of them with 9 or 10 separate points, with no replies. You are yet to answer the question, so I'll rephrase:
What is the "something else" that is not swoop (a change of direction on the final forward stroke), since they aim at absolute dead center, then backstroke to absolute dead center on the final stroke?
I don't think there's much sense in arguing this nonsense, but of course you could angle the cue on the final stroke by moving the back hand sideways on the back stroke (straight forward stroke) or on the forward stroke (swooping forward stroke).Hint: the future resides in the past and, part of the following is not necessarily reality but just your perception----"since they aim at absolute dead center, then backstroke to absolute dead center on the final stroke"
PS---Bet PJ can figure it out.

I speculate it was just bad follow through. You can even see his cue steer to the right when he got up early .

Lord, that 9 was a hanger and the cue ball was in no danger of scratching unless he drew it .
The 9 also went in almost hitting the end rail facing. He hit it a little fat.
Here , he shoots a perfect center follow when you think he needed a little inside.

I'll answer that just to make you happy and then maybe you could answer my questions from post #270. You know, the ones you said you had answers to.
Let's see...where to start? Oh, I guess maybe at the transition point from backstroke to forward stroke.
I'm not going to say whether I paused or not cuz that's a secret.
Anyway, first I took some practice strokes aiming at the base of the CB and also at the center of the CB. Now I'm ready to hit the ball.
I could come straight forward but I kinda wanted to put some right english on the CB. Let's not forget that we don't want to miscue, that would be a disaster.
Hmm, what to do. I've got it, I'll do a swoop stroke. No,no, wait a minute,I can't do that. BilliardsAbout already knows how to swoop. He's looking for "something else".
Hey, how bout this. What I'll do is, I'm going to send the tip of my cue directly at the point I want to hit on the right side of the CB.
Impossible you say. Nope, it's pretty easy actually. Not only that but top pros have been doing it for a hundred plus years.
How is that possible? I'll tell you what. You answer the questions I asked in post #270 and I'll tell you how it's done... for free.
Is that a deal or what.

I don't think there's much sense in arguing this nonsense, but of course you could angle the cue on the final stroke by moving the back hand sideways on the back stroke (straight forward stroke) or on the forward stroke (swooping forward stroke).
I think doing more than one stroke with the cue angled is best.

That guy ruined any reasonable discussion we might have had on the subject.
it's awesome to have this forum
to be able to meet people and have discussions
learn from each other and bond over mutual interests
so I hope if I ever post another thread here
it does not end up being more about I said/you said
backbiting and doublespeak
than actual pool
or whatever
I agree, Fran, Sparkle has all but ruined the thread. Thanks for supporting me.
Funny thing... all the hoopla about Jose possibly swooping on this 9ball (or, as another poster eluded to in a different thread, he was using some sort of pivot aiming), it all boils down to a simple low left shot from a camera angle that doesn't capture the correct cb perspective to see exactly where the tip hits the cb. But the cb's reaction shows that left was used with a little low -- no secrets, just a very common way to hit this shot.
As far as his cue moving/swooping to the right.....in slow motion, one frame at a time, it's very clear that he stroked straight through the cb and his cue remained on line until the cb hit the 9, at which point he begins to raise up and that's when his cue moves to the right. This movement had no effect on the cb's path.

There is no backbiting going on in this thread. There are honest, well-intended people who are unwilling to put up with the BS thrown around by Matt Sherman.
Sometimes it's necessary to put peace and love on the back burner just a bit in order to set the record straight. Any kind of decent discussion we could have had was totally ruined by his long-winded manifesto-type posts. No one should have to put up with that and if he continues to ruin other threads like that I will report him to the AZ admin without question.
hi fran, when I used the word backbiting, I was referring to matt talking down on sparkle after sparkle said they was leaving the thread and talking about mods banning pat after pat said he'd ignore matt. If they can't defend themselves that's always meant backbiting to me. my sig says peace and love but a lil infighting/discussion is fine..we can learn a lot that way which is actually why I said what I said. we can learn from this discussion and that's when I told matt when I said I was also putting him on ignore. I respect everybody opinion and I hope he and everybody is willing to take thoughtful comments into consideration. always keep my peepers open for yours, fran. Thanks and cheers

I believe you may have misinterpreted Fran's post. I think her post just above clarified things.
