I don't post much anymore. I'm glad you're back. I'll dive in to the vids when I get back in town. Best, Mike

The "plane players" are always tougher. They can't go bust and sleep in their cars. They gotta win! :D I just joined your site and am looking forward to the instruction. It was top notch in the past. :cool: TTYL Best, Mike

Wendell was a class act. Always friendly whenever I saw him. RIP my friend! Best, Mike

I think of it as an easy way to get the "over-cut", especially as you move past 30 degree angles. Ferrule aiming sets that up, too. I'd rather cut a little thinner than thick. Best, Mike

RIP, Neil! Best, Mike

I'll use the inside of my shaft as a guide on thinner cuts. I'd rather slightly over cut the shot than not. Best, Mike

I like to line up with a tip of inside and pivot to center for a "slight over cut" on really thin shots. :wink: Best, Mike

An advanced player learns to leave the cue ball on the correct side of the object ball. They can send the cue ball in the right direction with a natural angle, thick or thin, using spin or just a controlled stroke for position. The weaker player has to do more unnatural things to get back in...

I learned the 90/90 system from these forums years ago. I called Ron and he filled in the gaps after I started to run with it. I've also worked with the Samba system since Ekkes released it a few months ago. Ekkes does a great job of going into detail about technique. He even touches on the...
