No, I thank collective bargaining. If you don't understand the distinction, then that's on you. Unions serve the unions in the long run. They are corrupted and used for leadership's gains. There's nothing about collective bargaining that requires them to formalize an organizational body and pay...

Unions always make things worse in the long run. They're kind of like communism. They sound great on paper but inevitably lead to corruption and manipulation for the benefit of the people in charge, not the member. Jaden

They're already WAY past the WPA for recent payouts and number of events. Jaden

Or if he committed to going and backed out last minute, (which I believe he did). Jaden

yes, doesn't everyone? Every time I'm face to face with a kodiak bear, I stop to make sure he knows how to spell his name, it's just my style... Jaden

Where's the bear's camera? I've never heard of Kodak bears.... I think he meant Kodiak bears, i.e. the largest brown bears in the world from Kodiak Island, AK. Jaden

And It's more than just having someone to emulate. There are concepts, that shy of being a genius level intellect, you're just NOT going to be able to figure out on your own without someone explaining them to you. Often, you won't understand them until years AFTER they're explained to you. The...

And when she's bent over the table like that, neither am I. Jaden

Maybe not professional instruction but every one to a man had a high level player as a mentor early on. If you want to maximize your potential, you'll get a good mentor or high level instruction as early as possible without HittingAMB first... Jaden

I did, you stated that he should adjust his aim and spend time on the HAMB method. That's HORRIBLE advice. You're right, there's no need to get into the physics, but telling a lesser player to just get out there and HAMB it without proper direction is TERRIBLE advice, I can't reiterate that...

This is horrible advice, not only is it negative but it could just be plain wrong. You might be perfectly aligned with your aim and be missing for any number of reasons. Having your stance off, decelerating on the stroke, not being on the center line of the CB, not bridging at the pivot point...

I focus on CB direction. I've gotten to a point where I mostly use entire shot visualization for initial alignment, but I still use BHE when I use sidespin. I focus on getting on center ball after shot visualization and stepping into the shot and then I just use BHE after taking two or three...

No, we had a wristband on each wrist (sometimes a third wristband from the ER) and a stamp on the back of each hand... Jaden

That was just a movie, now they identify as a wolf and howl in class.... Jaden

One thing to remember is that the equipment is changing too. Back in the days with free stroking Efren and Busty, pocket sizes were larger and tables played slower. Sweeping spin allowed you to traverse the table much more easily and the pockets were more forgiving. Jaden p.s., I never...

Prior to Predator and Mezz, Schon was pretty well recognized as the best production cue out there, also the most expensive. There's no reason to doubt they were using ivory for their inlays or that they have lied about their product. Jaden

Pau ferro is a common wood used in cues. Jaden

That for the forearm and the butt, a medium brown ostrich skin wrap, cocobolo points with fire(red,orange,yellow,maple) veneers and mitered fire boxes in the butt surrounding cocobolo center boxes and abalone shell inlays in the points and butt. Jaden

Imagine if you could find a burl of that? Jaden

It made no business sense to keep them, their usage wasn't paying for the maintenance and upkeep. Sucks for the people who had those jobs... I noticed them going away even back in 2000. Yeah, walking 18 miles from the mall back to Damneck VA is not fun. The stupid last bus didn't bother to come...
