It's good to practice no warmups. Only consentrating on a straight backstroke & delivery to the CB.

Yes, Josh got started under the tutelage of Jim Buss. When Jim decided he wanted to retire (I'm sure there were discussions long before) he offered a long term buyout. I sure Jim wanted his investment back in his pocket but also wanted Josh to succeed, thus the year or likely a multi year...

Yes, that's one of my prize items. The first time I visited Dennis at his MI shop I saw that cue in his small cue rack and commented on it. That question of course turned into a very long story over a few glasses of brown liquor. Which led to .... For those that don't know, Dennis made this...

Maybe not related but I obviously lost where Center Ball is by doing the up and down drill from the foot spot. Doing this drill over and over I finally found Center. I think this problem could be at least partly solved by knowing if you're actually lined up/seeing the CB correctly when down.

I was at a tavern and just wanted to see how the CB banks around the table. Chalkysticks has become pretty cumbersome to work with but after 15mins I was able to get close to the CB path I witnessed. I made 1 stroke of the CB then walked away. https://www.chalkysticks.com/diagram/32758.png

Always thought I played best when I was Dead Tired. Too tired to think, just shoot the shot in front of me. Move on..

Those the folks from Iowa?

I have a Brittany and a Dieckman. I'm sticking with that.
