So I did the analysis with Samm and all went well. She complimented me on overall mechanics etc. and said that she can see that I played on high level before. She gave me 1 suggestion to try and 2 tiny tweaks for my stroke but overall she was pleased and didn't have much to change (which was...

Yeah, thats a valid point for sure. It did cross my mind but then I thought that splitting works better for me as I do enjoy being alone 'in the zone' and do drills. Its kinda mental detox as I find it relaxing. With an opponent its a different game as you socialise etc. but its not as relaxing...

Nickname from childhood. Probably just like yours ;-)

Came across this tutorial and its pretty much the style I used to play and like. No english and still valid strategy. I do want to learn english but I don't want my game to be all about it. Never really liked that style. So I want to do as much as I can with the center line and use english only...

This looks like a great drill, thank you so much. Today I've practiced the following: CB on the break point spot and then a ball frozen on the first diamond in the back left side, then 2nd diamond and then 3rd diamond. I've practiced these one at a time and my accuracy was about 70-80% which is...

pool, I never liked snooker. For me snooker is super boring

You are totally right. It was more to illustrate the limitation rather than the need to have it as a crucial aspect. As for side english - I know I'll have to learn it but first I need to get the basics right again before I venture to that deep hole :)

I have Predator P3 with Revo 12.4 and I hope this cue will last me a lifetime as it was very expensive ;) Its technically the 2nd cue I've ever bought. The first one was back in London for about £100+- in 2003 or so. Before that I had a cue that my dad got me around 1995

Fair enough, yeah, I'm not expecting to be high level player. I just want to have fund whilst at the same time remove the frustration from missing easy shots. Little correction - I can do stop shots and follow through and I can also draw shots. What I meant with the weakness (and that I...

Cheers for this, this does look like a great option. Much appreciated

Would you agree that if my stance is correct and my stroke just needs a little revival then the rest is just practice? Because if thats the case then Instructor would probably be good for about 1-2 lessons and then the rest is just practice drills. (which is the main theme of all youtube...

I'm based in Montreal, QC.

Are these forums always so hostile or its just you?

Not yet. Too early for that. Stop shots, follow and then draw. After I get those in good position then I will experiment with English.

funny thing I noticed today. I went to practice and after about 45 mins doing stop shots I decided to play against myself but after few racks I was messing about and started doing 'speed' pool. I noticed one consistent thing - that the fact that I was going faster 'on clock' I realised I was way...
