I certainly wouldn't consider it anything close to fractional aiming. Ekkes is a very nice and bright guy. Had the privilege of spending time with him at DCC a couple of years ago. I think his system can be effective for the player who wants to spend the time learning it and practicing. I...

There's at least one YouTube video out on the 45 and 60

I think re vast majority top pros take that shot versus betting on their opponent to screw it up. Seems to me, the odds of you having a much more difficult shot when you return to the table are much higher.

Different strokes for different folks. Some people enjoy supporting and cheering for their team(s). Most quickly get over the loss or win, one way or the other. Some people kind of live their lives vicariously through their heroes and role models. No harm in any of those. Fact is, if there...

A pool player makes an of color remark and it's the end of the world, ESPN pulls the video. But Ray Lewis is now a tv analyst. And how many NFL football players are convicted of crimes each year? Way too many snowflakes with thin skin.

The real reason is the Euros are better. Plain and simple. Their top 10 to 15 are better than our top 5.

Psychologically, I think it is similar to courage. Courage isn't the lack of fear. Courage is the ability to act when afraid. Everyone has nerves, people just handle their nerves differently. I don't think anyone is invulnerable from nerves affecting performance. And it can pop up and affect the...

I think what you're asking is if I can point to specific math or rating elements in the APA rating system that are flawed. Since I don't have access to that exact math, I cannot comment whether it is, or is not, flawed. You may consider that the APA rating system and if so, it may be perfect...

The players are part of the system. When you create a system that requires so much close attention be paid and so much subjectivity, it's flawed. I would venture to say more than 75% of APA players have no clue how to properly score a defensive shot per APA guidelines. Or the two drunken score...

Thus far, Skylar has been the best player for the Euros.

The APA rating system is horribly flawed in so many ways. Trying to out think a horribly flawed system is like two monkeys trying to screw a football. Just play the guy and move on. Doing anything else simply isn't worth it.

Stay perfectly still and make sure your cute top isn't rising/lifting at contact. If you're jumping up at all, you'll screw these shots up. Dropping your elbow prior to contact with the CB will cause the top to rise. Start shooting 100 of these per day ranging from easy to difficult shots. I...

Obviously, there is a psychological side. But I think fundamentals have a ton to do with it. If you have a home brewed stroke that relies a lot on timing, you're more likely to have problems in pressure situations. Everyone is susceptible to pressure to some degree or another. The more...

Filler is a 20 year old kid. Ralf has been there, done that many times. The kid has played very well, just so happens he's doing it for the other side. I think if our guys were playing well and winning, they'd be celebrating like mad men. As far as Filler celebrating with his team mates prior...

Three is a European company now making a carbon fiber shaft, I think Italian.

His reference to tweaking there is tweaking your alignment to match your visual perception, not tweaking subjectively to better make the shot. Until you get quite good with CTE, and even after, you can get slightly misaligned going from standing to shooting position. It may be necessary to tweak...

Showing more respect than you have for Stan, I'll refrain from commenting on my opinion of the content of Poolology.

Stan will be producing a high quality book similar to what Mark Wilson put out. As far as I know, there will not be an ebook version. Comparing Poolology to either would be similar to comparing at Timex to Rolex. That's not intended as a slam to the Poolology publication. They are simply two...

lmao!!!!!!!!!

It should be noted that he didn't say he's finished asking troll questions.
