TRIGGER WARNING FOR FEEL SNOWFLAKES: PLEASE DON'T POST HERE This is my regular watch now, thanks Dean H. What a great channel. I wish I knew more Spanish but you can get the idea with auto translate. It took me a while to get that "5 thousand and 50" means 5050 and 50/50 half ball. I guess...

He nails this thin hit and the lesson for me is: you end up with the same goddamn shot again and you nail the thin hit again and it fucks you this time. Not even close the second time.

Are those 8? foot tables?

Weird how he botched that shot at 34:21

Hey, if I started playing when I was 8 and was taking private lessons from a world class player at 14, I'd be playing purely by feel, too. But almost all of us don't have that luxury, you see. I don't worry that I'm endangering my future as a world class professional billiards player. I know...

I don't. I've never met another human being that did. I count myself lucky there are people that know 3 cushion. Don't contaminate yourself, my friend. Feel it, don't math it. Stay pure. Yoda say:

Two statements, side by side: and

if you think playing on different tables is never going to change your feel system, again, I got a bridge in Brooklyn for sale, super cheap. I've never noticed much of a change on my system play on different tables, either. Slight differences? Sure, even within a game. But major...
