    Another question for the English gurus.

    PUSH OR PULL

    I can't really fathom why someone would want to or need to think of this when they play or practice. Dedicating practice to specifics is great I think, but this is too specific. I'm sure most of us at some point in life had had lots going on whilst you try to concentrate on something. The...

    A little exercise to test a 'straight-in' short shot with control of the CB

    Which areas of your game is this drill intended to improve? I know a handful guys who could do this all day long but they aren't guys I would consider to be great at the game. What they are great at though is manipulating potting angles with side spin and the short 8 inch draw shots. At first...

    Sold Old Balls

    That happened a long time ago! I think it was probably in effect back when I was regularly posting on here. But yes, I am back playing but not to the extent I used to. Life has sort of gotten in the way and priorities have had to make a major shift in the direction of my family but I dust off my...

    Bob, let's stop with the crazy talk my friend! I'm simply a man - a beautiful balls admiring man.

    Is the Aiming Forum a Relic?

    Do you guys love pool so much you over look a lot of stuff? Possibly my final post

    Get a job. You soon find paying that extra $1 every 50 games isn't so bad that you consider quitting the game.

    Stroke improvement question for instructors and non instructors

    Sighting. Very minor offsets can create very bad habits. Take a look at Dr Dave's website where he talks about the vision centre. When players get this right, alignment and a straight cueing action soon follows. Pulling the cue back too far/ not far enough. I see time and time again a really...

    Instructor or pro player?

    Depends what you want to learn, and that is usually determined by your skill level. Beginners, bang average or intermediate players will benefit more from a quality instructor who puts a lot of emphasis on ironing out their mechanical flaws. Just my experience, but as a general rule of thumb...

    Which aiming system you use and why?

    I agree. Aiming is very complex and I honestly don't believe humans are capable when at the table, in the sense that aiming is just physics. Add in side spin and the physics become way more complicated. Take shooting for example. People aim the gun and they can hit targets that move, even...

    Well, this should be fun.

    A few ways to find the contact points

    I've played maybe 5 or 6 times in the last 2-3 years. So my standard is ropey to say the least. I've started a family so I haven't had chance to post much....just been lurking in the background, secretly reading away!
