You can't teach an old dog new tricks...but old dogs like young tricks.

That is exactly my point. Some what remote, but it could cause a skid.

Just to put this in perspective based on your questions. I am 83 and trying to maintain or better a 585 Fargo by playing in 2 eight ball leagues a week using a parallel aiming system. One pocket is my favorite game but I do not get a chance to play it much. My custom cue is Alex Brick/John...

If you are right handed it sounds like you may be pulling your elbow in slightly in toward your body giving you unintended right English. Did your instructor video you from behind? Something is moving the cue to the left.

If your normal bridge is 12" and your shaft has a pivot point of 12". What would be the effect when a player decides to get an LD 18" pivot point shaft and still maintain his 12" bridge length? What compensation would be needed?

Did you change your cue or shaft? Did you change your bridge length?

This makes me think the tip shaping devices that puncture deeper in to the tip may cause crevices that will hold chalk longer and cause more frequent skids. Just a thought.

If you look closely, they used old balls and clearly the 5 ball is orange.

I understand he had a very good one handed stroke.

The 5 ball was orange. I guess they used old balls.

You may want to rethink this. Your thought may work on straighter shots but with more angle there is more deviation.

The team captains select player rotations. This helps by taking some pressure off of the players. This is one of several reasons for not having playing captains.

I like the concept and wish I had one 70years ago. Very rudimentary but this will be refined over the years and will put many pool instructors out of business. Everybody laughed at VELCRO... "Man can neither love nor hate what he does not know".

Thanks for sharing this post. This puts it in perspective for me, but I have a question. For a person with 8-10 inch bridge, would you suggest a regular shaft or a LD?

Yes, he lived at the Hermitage 5 STAR Hotel in Nashville. The table was in the lobby and anyone could challenge him after he had his nightly steak dinner. Since he passed it has been removed but there is a display in his honor.
