For once I agree. It's always disagreement and a battle.
Nice little picture

thanks for the reply...
Just posting at stuff. A lot of the head positioning seems to be a function of stance physique and personal aesthetics.
Me:
Albin O (hey that's albino. hmm...) J Morra etc... leaning over the stick was a stroke thing. It compensated best for my stroke tendency to go navelwards. It leaves a tunnel where you can hang your arm and stick. Once there, the neck doesn't work any other way. The attributed benefit is reduced parallax distortion but for me it was immediately accurate stroke.
The Filler tilt for me is still physique and keeping the head (face) parallel to the shoulders line. Since I use the double stereo effect as an aiming reference, I've noticed that leveling the image via the tilt provides the nth degree in stroke accuracy. Center ball is center ball over a wider range of speed.
This idea of dominant eye correction is a little like Schroedinger's aiming method and should be implemented with a grain of salt.
If you read the first two posts from the other day that revived this thread it’s pretty clear that the battle was asked for.
What else is new? Three letters, CTE, is a verboten subject on a pool forum that make certain heads explode but what's really most important and germane is the importance of jelly beans. Who knew about these unwritten rules as far as what could or couldn't be discussed?
Vision Center? I have no idea how anything can be explained when there's a cross-eyed pool player at the table.
The only testimony from the JBM came from someone who wasn’t even using jelly beans. The lengths these guys go to are just crazy
Well vision center is unique for everyone so I guess you could have a cross eyed vision center. I mean, who knew lmao
That's true. Hmmm...I wonder if there's a special cue that can be made with a side by side double shaft setup attached to the butt joint especially if the dominant vs. weak cockeye comes into play. If'n one shaft doesn't get 'er done, then the other one will.
You can hem, haw, and castle all you like but shooting with double vision is just relaxing the focus to two images instead of straining to separate the shot angles from the desired perceptions. This is practical because the stick is already on the shooting line and hitting the cueball is the shot.
I’ve asked in the past for clarification of things with JBM, but apparently even the creator was unable to answer even the simplest of questions about it.
Fire away. Your wish is my command.
That would be a first Shouldn’t using jelly beans be a strict requirement when using the jelly bean method?
Jelly beans were the first iteration of JBM. I found that other sugar based confections worked, too. It's kind of a preference. Some early users got comfortable with jelly beans. We then moved on to a higher quality of jelly bean in the next phase of JBM and some continue on with that. More recently, disguised JBM makes use of various confections, including, but not limited to, bon bons, peanut candies, and even jawbreakers. Some a-hole on youtube is using friggin' Twinkies and claiming it is JBM. There is only one authentic JBM. Twinkies... such bullshit...
See this makes no sense. You list a whole bunch of substitutes for jelly beans and then claim that there is only one authentic jelly bean method.
Come to think of it my progression with JBM is not unlike Stan's. First there was Hal's free form pivot (aka "just hit the thing") and then Stan's manual, precise, pivot, then the visual sweep and disguised pivoting and now stepping the cue ball. Whew! What a journey. Stan even had an imposter explaining CTE on youtube!
Plain old jelly beans are still foundational to JBM but with time we were able to flesh out some refinements. But Twinkies? That's certainly a bridge too far.
Let's face it, you and "pivots" have never gotten along together. You didn't get it with Hal...you didn't get it with Stan...and you certainly didn't get it with me. Your overall grade in PIVOT CLASS on when and how to do it would be a GIANT "F"!
I have never come across a player who has your knowledge and skills that I've worked with turn out to be such an abject
FAILURE.
I see that didn’t take long for you to make an a$$hole post. You just can’t bring yourself to get over the butthurt and be a decent poster can you
Uhhh....what? You do realize JBM is nothing more than a parody of CTE, right? For like a year now, right?
So, if we use Moe, Curly, and Larry with their antics as a parody for your (pl) CTE antics, that should be perfectly acceptable...correct? It certainly ("COITENLY") does go hand in hand and fit well. You can have first dibs on who you'd like to be...Moe, Curly, or Larry. PJ can go next. (or I'll just assign them)
