    Short, push strokes

    I was just about to post a link to that great video when I saw you already had. Very useful technique, and one that I did well with (without knowing it by name) on bar boxes in my youth. These days I work hard on developing a long, flowing stroke, but the compact "jab" stroke pockets balls for...

    Which shots give you AIMING problems?

    May I direct you to the "Positive Visualization Conversation" sub-forum? Oh, that's right... there isn't one. :grin: Pool is a visual game, therefore all "aiming" in pool requires visualization (even objective aiming methods). I think the OP is in effect asking which shots are harder to...

    The stroke

    Try this stroke drill. It really builds your stoke like nothing else I've tried. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm-VDuGzJS4 Drill starts around 32:30 in the video.

    Regarding John Schmidt being convinced by a friend that "it works".

    I don't NPR, either, but I had to take a look. Now I get it. Awhile back Duke linked to a pic of a little girl that Rick posted over there, all dolled up like a two-bit whore. That was enough for me to become filled with revulsion toward him. I tried to find it again to show my wife the...

    Dave's Aiming Method (DAM)

    Please point to where it is advertised, and to what part of that advertisement you object to. Thank you in advance.

    ??? Schmidt never used CTE, so what you say makes no sense. Now that he's a bit older and past his prime, though, maybe CTE might help him regain his former abilities. Worth a try if I was in his shoes. I'm sure Stan would give him all the help he needed. Stevie got into a slump and was...

    John Schmidt says CTE works after all.

    Uh... OK... Can you define "clear"? John not being world-class is about as clear as a bank vault door to me. :confused:

    John Schmidt says CTE works after all.

    Sorry, Dave, you made that post yesterday and it's on another page in this 27-page thread. I was responding to Blaine Bs post on this page and didn't see you had weighed in on the matter already.

    Dave's Aiming Method (DAM)

    A backpacker is traveling through Scotland when it starts to rain. He decides to wait out the storm in a nearby pub. The only other person at the bar is an older man staring at his drink. After a few moments of silence the man turns to the backpacker and says in a thick Scottish accent: "You...

    ROFL! Never heard that one. Is that how it works? Maybe we should call it "Figueroa's Law" Conversely, I guess acting like a pr*ck for 20 years means you're really not one, right? (sigh).

    John Schmidt says CTE works after all.

    Blaine, the ignore feature might work if the guy made a normal amount of posts, but he deliberately hijacks every thread by relentlessly injecting his off-topic and inappropriate remarks over and over again. EVERY thread he gets on gets derailed within a few comments, and all subsequent...

    If what you say is true, maybe she should pencil you in for an appointment.;) She also has extensive experience with substance abuse. May I make an appointment for you at this time?

    CTE. Why I think it works...

    I woke up this morning hoping maybe everyone had agreed to drop this whole argument about essentially nothing. I also woke up hoping maybe Donald Trump made an announcement saying he was only kidding about running for president. Like Trump's campaign, this has gone way beyond bizarre. I'm...

    Guilty as charged. I think I remember saying something like "ding, dong, the wicked witch is dead", or something of that nature. Then I quickly forgot you ever existed.
