    Three Rails Around Question

    This simply tells me you table doesn't play to the system. No table on earth plays Absolutely EXACTLY to any system. Most pool tables I've ever played on don't comply to the corner 5 system. They're a basically 1 diamond short. Meaning. the Corner 5 System says the 2nd diamond on the 3rd rail...

    Middle Finger vs Forefinger

    I think we would have to have a face to face conversation for me to get what you're saying. What's is a "trigger finger"?

    Middle Finger vs Forefinger

    Thank you for your time on this. Having fun again on several discoveries. So far this one seems to be a big one. Can't turn the clock back but enjoy learning new stuff regardless of age. I have a 6 hour lesson scheduled next week, just because. The lesson is CB Control. The instructor...

    Middle Finger vs Forefinger

    I've heard you many times about this but like I said, or tried to say, I thought the thumb also moved back over that finger. The thumb created my objection to that grip. Now I understand the thumb isn't involved. My question is why the middle finger when the index finger is the most...

    Middle Finger vs Forefinger

    Had a hard time with the title of this thread. Anyway, over the years I've heard about the middle finger as a key. Coming from very old school where it was taught that the index finger was under the thumb... I always thought that the teaching of the middle finger thing meant that the thumb...

    Why not ask civil questions in an effort to better understand what he's trying to say, rather than immediately jump down his throat, which you love to do to anyone and everyone, about anything. Bill has problems explaining himself, but you know what? We all do when writing rather than having a...

    You have no idea what you're talking about. You're clueless about Bill's knowledge. Totally clueless!! You don't know what he's talking about cause you don't listen and question. You already know everything there is to know about everything.

    Bill says the OB is frozen and 2 diamonds from the corner. CB is in the center of the table. I'm very interested in this stuff. I'm old but have started training and discovering things I never paid attention to.

    Horizontal Draw

    My 3C mentor would make this shot without draw. He was a big man with a powerful stroke. When the shot came up I'd stand behind him to see what was going on. He hit it with 9 o'clock. He was a US Champion with better aim than me. I can get the angle sometimes but not the power...

    Did you really mean 9 o'clock rather than 3 o'clock?

    For all you mechanics and do-it-yourselfers.

    I quit doing this job myself, I hire a professional, but I'm still interested in learning the process. My question is about your gauge for marking the stretch. Since the cloth is completely relaxed when you're drawing the stretch lines, it seems to me, if I used that tool the cloth would end...

    Pro Players Overhead

    Don't want to say it's a beating a dead horse issue, but close. I think you're talking about creating more advanced and Pro Players? Keep in mind the value of the Dollar since 1970. Politics has ruined the dollar. $40 in 1970 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $325.37 today. Do...

    Measle ball is a training ball

    If you're into spinning the CB and pay attention, the dots help you pick up added or subtracted English depending on inside or outside desired spin and which side of the OB you're hitting. Collision induced spin isn't only about the OB. Wanna perfect your shape? Pay attention to the CB spin...

    DIY wood kiln

    I don't know much about your goal but I've bought 2 gun safe heaters and they both burned out in short order. The 10 or 12" 110V stick types. Thought the first one was maybe a fluke thing, then tried another of a different brand and even more $$. Won't buy a third of this type.

    New Cue Syndrome -- Real or Imagined

    I think much initially is in the head but time will tell. I remember a cue I got to try for maybe 30 mins and loved it. So much that I commissioned a builder to make me one just like it. Of course he couldn't make it perfectly the same, but he got close. But just not the same. That cue gave...
