LOL. Well done sir. Well done indeed. :thumbup:

Try this sighting test I posted. It was the start for me. I think part of the measure of the character of a champion is in overcoming these challenges. Pool is a journey, not a destination. I will never give up as long as I am breathing.

This is a simple kicking system by Grady Matthews. It is an excerpt from his video Only Kicks which I highly recommend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBXPExihJ7Q

For everyone that posted to help me out, I just want to say thanks. Your time is not wasted with me. Grady Matthews once told me that when the European players learn something they immediately share it with each other. He said when American players learn something, they go practice in their...

We have already spoken. I was one of the first ones that bought your DVD. I was supposed to get an update to that one but right about that time is when I got laid off and had to sell my table and move. I'm just now getting back to playing again. Of course, your DVD along with my BreakRak and...

Dude, you just sold a book. I have been fighting with that for 38 years.

That is correct. I was shooting at one times table speed. With the changes to my practice routine I posted above and hitting three times table speed the cue ball is nailing my tip with its center every time. Now, if you tell me what to do with the BreakRak, I will buy one now and beat it to...

That is how I got into this in the first place. I just want to say TOI is a lot of work. It is not a silver bullet you can just buy off the shelf and it just happens. It is a very precise system and demands total mastery of the center of the ball because all of its offsets are derived from an...

This one did the trick for me. It turns out to be an optical illusion induced by years of fanatical practice and tiny alignment errors. I actually saw the tip to the left. Once I started to incorporate the procedures in this video into my beginning practice routine, I now see it correctly in...

I have never had an exam. I am getting to the age where I need one. I will do that. Thanks.

Hey buddy. I did not check the table for squareness though it was playing that way. I tried this on more than one table so I am pretty sure it's me that ain't square. My video camera, along with my BreakRak, is locked up in storage down in Florida. I am in Memphis now. Don't know when I...

Yes. I did that. I also tried shooting from various heights above the shaft to check the visual reference.

I have been aware for some time that I have a visual error. I see the center of the cue ball as being slightly to the right of where is actually is. I discovered this using Joe Tuckers pitchfork looking thing. I forget what it is called. I have also used Joes laser trainer which showed me...

Thanks slomo. I have been making those shots for many years and never understood how they worked. If you had told me I was hitting the rail first, I would not have believed you. Back in the old days, we used to shoot it with the object ball on the center diamond. Seems like everybody had...

WTG! :thumbup:

I got a big box of Masters I bought 35 years ago. Still works. At the time I thought it would last me a year or two.

I would consider it if they were giving away one of these. :thumbup:

No need to go through all that. You can see the divot. Put all the balls in the rack as normal. Roll the rack forward. Roll the one ball forward through the divot. Look down into the triangle hole between the one ball and the two balls behind it. Push the rack forward until you see the...

What's so special about that? I kicked it in the corner out of the center of the table, between the spot and the center pocket. I had a stripe in the middle of a cluster of solids. Only one way in there and a tight doorway to get at it. I was having to focus to get a good hit. I just said...

Ya know, you and I, don't think anything alike.
