Finally got around to finish the table. Did it in the living room (my wife is very happy its done).. Made four jigs with the correct angles then I hand sawed the openings before glueing on the subrail extensions. Used the same jigs for cutting the rubber. Everything was done by hand expect the...

The WNT ranking is two years and the Mosconi/Reyes is a one year ranking.

So your in line before the first step, the step with your left foot puts your head really offline then your not online until you hit the cueball. Start focusing on keeping your vision on the red line an the cue will end up where it is when you hit the ball right away instead of in the last minute.

I'm just saying that a alignment that just considers the body is not very useful. The motion the arm produces have to be matched to the eyes/head in order to be functional. The plane of the elbow flexion/extension have to be behind the head and go through the shoulder in the correct spot in...

I just think that the focus should be on getting the cue on the line of the shot when you get down. By keeping this as the main focus the body has a good capability of self correcting any mistakes. I could tell any 700+ player to stand with the feet together, the feet super far apart or wrong...

Okay how do you confirm that the cue is on the shot line? Should I lean in over the cue with my head or do you want me to look at the shot line from the side? Please don't duck this two questions and just critique my next paragraph as you usually do when you don't have any good answer. I try to...

I'm pretty sure this is what I ment..

If you want to keep your head on the shot line while moving down you have to be a little more fluent and manage you balance a bit better than he currently does. Most good players have a swift fluent movement that let them stay balanced while moving down into the shot I just wanted to give him an...

So instead of have the arm hanging down, you bend it so that the cue touches you chin as it is while down on the shot. Almost all of this angle that Bert shows while standing square to the shot will be gone. Be having the arm fully extended you will severely exaggerate the small angle the...

You are placing your feet and cue and hand down in to the shot. If you look at any good players you will see that they move down in to the shot. The step forward with the front foot is happening at the same time as the bridge hand lands on the table. It will be very hard for you to get down on...

And we are off! This is why I am choosing to do it myself. I got the cloth off and checked all the rail bolts found that I have two nuts in the rail that I have to change before I get the new rails on. I have not decided on rails yet but I think I will go with Superspeeds. Will clean...

I recently got a hold on a GC4 with standard specs and I would like to extend the subrail, change the pocket angles and maybe change from SuperSpeed to another cushions. Since I live in Europe and don't have any good table mechanics around I have to do it by myself. I would like to have 4 1/4...

The only explanation I can imagine in your case is that your head is not pointing straight down the shot line. You could either be rolled or yawed sideways or maybe both and this is making it hard for your brain to process the images from the eyes. If your head is straight your problem is out of...

The mai reason I think that most good players use stun and medium fast speed is that it is the easiest shot to visualize and feel, you basically just have to judge the rebound of the cushion. If you play roll you would have to judge where the curve will grab and how big it will be. More speed...

I think that the hardest thing to predict with one rail kicks is the curve after rail contact. If you have a small angle I think its okay to use a rolling cue ball but on most other angles i think stun is the best spin to use. If you look at pros that try to make balls with one rail kicks stun...
