    What killed the slip stroke?

    Watch that Accu-Stats One-Pocket match between Cole and Luat. Cole uses a slip stroke often. Watch closely. You can't miss it.

    Meet My Coaches

    My video camera shows me everything I do wrong. It's up to me to correct it. My voice recorder records all my thoughts and ideas about my game in real time. So as I don't forget anything important. I don't need a real live person to show and tell me these things. There are plenty of books and...

    Demo Pic for now

    After what you said, I looked at the pic again. Yes. It does look slightly off that I might miss. That was a good catch on your part. So I grabbed another pic a few frames away from the video. This one looks most accurate. And you're right. An hour without missing is an excellent gauge. I...

    Demo Pic for now

    It is said: One picture worth 1000 words. I'll expect I'll have a video in another month. I'm still working out the bugs. I edited swapping the pic by a couple of video frames.

    Cole Dickson's practice session routine

    "Swapping out the 289 for a Chevy 350 became popular years later." Popular or not, in 1968 Corky claimed his Mustang convertible had a 350 in it. And the small block Chevy 350 would certainly have fit. And "grearheads" could have, and some probably did, swap them for the reasons given. And...

    Cole Dickson's practice session routine

    You just made me think of something. In your scenario, one player keeps $15 of the other players money in his pocket during the match. And most likely, the entire $20 is never seen until it comes due. So there is a built-in tension: will someone not get paid? With these the stakes...

    Cole Dickson's practice session routine

    You read what I posted. I lived what I posted. You read what Grok 3 had to say. And here is what CoPilot has to say: in 1967-1968, did ford increase the size under the hood of the mustange to take a larger 350 v8 motor? not a shelby. a reengineered mustang converible? Short Answer: Yes — in...

    Mini-demo current results of technique

    That is what I'm working on. You know, I recently think I know why a really good player would take someone under their wing. It is because they are a fast learner. Does this mean they are smart? Not necessarily. It means that when a fast learner realizes they are doing something wrong, they...

    And a Fulfilling Thanksgiving to you and yours, as well. And while I'm at it, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! And many more, too. Many more to all of us.

    Cole Dickson's practice session routine

    We were in the S.F. Bay Area. And that is exactly how it was: no grinding, no slow down, just a powerful surge of acceleration. Bay Area in 1970, perfect. That silver 427 Camaro was almost certainly running around on Van Ness, or out on 101 or 280, terrorizing Corvettes and GTOs from San José...

    Cole Dickson's practice session routine

    This might light your board. I just talked to Grok 3 once again. "well, since i have you here... in around 1970 Corky had some business to take care of and asked if I wanted to go for a ride. He had borrowed Puffy's 427 silver Camaro. We headed north, I forget exactly which freeway. Wow...

    Cole Dickson's practice session routine

    I just decided to consult the oracle after posting. Here's what I asked Grok 3: In 1968 I met Corky. He had a mustang. It was a convertible that he said had a 350 engine. I don't know what model year the car was. I just know that the car had a lot of get up and go." Basically, Grok 3...

    Mini-demo current results of technique

    I'm posting this short 2:44 video just to demonstrate that the technique I've developed gets results. Again, I am not practicing this shot. I am practicing the technique routine. I haven't memorized it so I skip many steps or haven't perfected them yet. For instance, I keep moving my whole...

    Cole Dickson's practice session routine

    Around 1968, Corky had a pretty peppy 350 convertible mustang. It was a fairly exciting ride.

    Cole Dickson's practice session routine

    Hey, "Little Squirrel." What's up! Little Squirrel is what I was told you were often referred to as. This is why for 34 years when I asked about a pool player by the name of Squirrel everyone automatically thought of the original Squirrel. Of course I described this shot to everyone, as...
