You're doing a lot of things well. Good shotmaker, walk the table, check angles, excellent focus when down on the ball. You are pretty slow and deliberate, not good rhythm. May be something to work on as you progress. Your shot selection seems fair to good. It's tough to assess due to the...

I think you should post any decent run no matter the length. Plenty of people enjoy them and might learn something that helps them. Another possibility is they may offer advice to help you improve your own game. Glad you found out about follow on break shots. Many players never learn that it...

2 things. In 3 cushion, type of shot determines amount of English. ( As well as speed) As it relates to this thread however, comparing carom and pool tables is pointless. They play much different.

As others have stated, addressing problems quickly is essential. In order to do that certain skills are needed. From what I saw I think you'll need to rethink a few things. Correct me if I'm wrong but what stood out the most while observing you play was an almost complete lack of use of...

Are you sure? Maybe he came up with something new. Everyone knows that swooping stuff was beat to death years ago. He couldn't possibly have forgot, could he?

What are twist english strokes? I hope it's not just another word for swooping.

Seems you're missing the forest for the trees. What you're saying has nothing to do with JJ video. Your sentence about idiosyncrasies contradicts the other assertions.

That's not a system. It's just one person's method based on the feel they've accrued over the years. Very similar to all "systems", they all tend to get you in the race near the starting line but aren't of much use in getting you over the finish line. To the OP, using inside to facilitate thin...
