Are these the same shots that are in Bert Kinister's 60 minute workout for 9 ball? Or in Bob henning's Pro book?

I'm sorry, I forgot to describe that they are stop shots that I'm doing. Clean stop shots. Thank you for the replies. I hadn't thought that just because you pot the ball does not mean it is a straight shot. Would 45/50 be what a semi-pro could do?

To those of you out there that have a straight , repeatable stroke, how would you define straight? I'm using this shot x 20, 50 or 100 times as my metric. How many times out of 20, 50, or 100 should I be able to pocket the 8 ball before I can call my stroke straight, and move on? Is this the...

Bob, It is that I don't recognize what the fraction is. Thx , Bob, It is that I have trouble figuring out which hit to go for. By the way, your advice on this forum is very much appreciated.

How do the players here that use fractional aiming recognize what fraction the hit is? The basic ones, full, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4,1/8 I can usually see, but its the 3/8 , 5/8 , etc .. those are the ones that give me real trouble.

Hello, for those of you who use contact point aiming systems, where you first find the contact point on the object ball by drawing a line from the pocket through the object ball, here is my question. Let's say you have a long shot , and the object ball is a solid color. You step away from the...

Are there drills you can do to get your body ideally aligned to the shotline, so that only micro strokes are needed to send the object ball to the pocket? Most of the aiming was done standing up.

Members, I really appreciate all your replies. I have found they really help. I set up a bunch of long straight shots (again). I thought I had worked this out before. OB was going consistently a little bit to the right on the Mighty X long shot. Double checked alignment, put camera behind me...

How do you troubleshoot your potting to decide if it is your aim, or mechanics (stance, vision center, grip -stroke) that caused the miss? This has become frustrating for me on long, difficult cut shots.

Thanks, Fuggles. I don't have a lot of time to burn/waste setting up lots of stickers for great runnouts that Tor lowry, Dr dave, and other great teachers have set up for students of the game. It looks like that content is available with ICATS. At this point, I'm leaning towards that one. I do...

It would be great to hear from a higher skilled player who's play has improved using either of these systems. Thanks!

Thank you for the input. The PPB system is so much cheaper, so who here can justify the more expensive ICATS over PPB?

I'm wondering if there are players here who have experience with both of these systems? ICATS is significantly more expensive. Is the interface easier to use to build drills with, and is the content of existing drills superior to PPB? How does the quality/display resolution of the projection...

I really appreciate all these comments. I'm trying to really focus on a slow, smooth backswing, and pulling back almost to my bridge hand.

How do they get such great timing on their final forward swing? Could someone suggest a few specific drills to work on? Thx
