In my explanation of how to accurately and simply determine the precise contact point once having decided the cut angle, where is the smoke and mirrors? Why is this not ultimately of any use? This is a technique/tool that will be further expounded upon in US&E. What I described in this...

No, I am not aware of this "tome." How many others in this forum are? Pool is not so complicated as to warrant 574 pages. Not even close. My description only took at most 3 short paragraphs. Probably could have deleted the enter key returns for spacing and just had 1 short single paragraph...

Ultimate SEEING and Execution can teach you how to: precisely determine the shot angle to pocket the object ball visualize the perfect ghost ball make the perfect cue ball hit. Did my "promo-tease" lessen or remove any doubt or at least perhaps suggest that keeping an open mind would be the...

You are not wrong. If the contact point remains the same you may need to adjust cue ball hit and stroke. Gorst is maybe like Shane, and like Efren and Earl once were. Mere mortals cannot even comprehend. Maybe they have become Enlightened Masters like Yoda.

I was completely unaware of the existence of this diagram. Was there any additional explanatory text. Tell us the details where you found it and any other information you have. I note that you stated that there was no mention of a "clock." Without utilizing this precise clock reference as I...

I hope the other forum members have been reading what some of your "friends" on this board have been saying: where they have been coming from. Do you still think they are good guys? What help have they offered in this thread? Check it out... I know it has only been at most just a day since...

The general consensus in this thread is that its forum members believe in sharing their pool knowledge and techniques to help other players. Here is a simple pool technique related question but a very important one. Imagine an object ball and cue ball anywhere on the table. You have decided...

"I think I'll have the special tonight." "Oh, excellent choice, sir. Tonight's special is crow. How would you like that cooked, sir." "Let's leave that up to the cook." "You are the adventurous type. The cook just loves a challenge."

Hey. I didn't start "micro-dot." It was attributed to Mark Wilson by a previous poster in this thread.

I have definitely decided that I will not be giving Ultimate SEEING and Execution away for free. It is and will be worthy, in my opinion, of as much respect as any other paid instructional video. Just not nearly as expensive. The market will decide. You know, when a player makes a really good or...

At Hard Times Bellflower there was a house pro, Dave Hemmah. Al "Little Al" Romero had his cue shop up stairs. He told me Dave has beaten several top pros. I believe local Tang Ho has as well. I am aware that there are some very good players that at any given place and time can occasionally...

I bring up Cole or Keith Thompson for 2 reasons: I think they are interesting stories and they emphasize a pool fundamental, usually. Cole was in his prime when he was about 18-19. That would make it around 1968-1969, or so. I am not going to go into what may have led to his pool shooting...

I mentioned that a few times I was freaked out watching Cole shoot. But never dwelled on it because there were too many other things about Cole himself and his game that were much more interesting. I likened his stance to a skeleton. It was because while I watched him stroking up making all...

If everything about pool is known and if all the information is available either for free or paid then why the struggle? Why is there a Fedor, Joshua, Shane, Eklent, Carlo, etc.? Why are there not any AZBilliards forum members on this list as far as I know? I gather that experts have all the...

Missing because of fatigue may or may not be your own fault. I've heard some players in tournaments had to stay up for twelve hours straight in match play. They didn't make the schedule. Some players haven't gotten enough sleep and are not well rested. Some players haven't eaten and just ran...

"using the understanding gained by major thinkers who have gone before in order to make intellectual progress". Wikipedia Do communists enjoy eating crow?

Coincidently, I just saw a cat video today. It showed some very fast cats. They have what are called fast twitch muscles and a flexible back that makes them 3 times faster than humans. Two different cats caught birds flying too close overhead. And one dodged a striking snake. ETC. Click...

I believe all Gorst is doing is getting a better idea where all the balls are. So when he gets down on the shot he has a better sense of the 3-D layout or depth perception/relationship of the balls and pockets so he can more precisely line up his shot. You learn something new every day...

Yes I am. I will watch for it in a video to refer you to it. Give me some time, please. In the meantime, you might want to look for it if you watch any videos of him playing.

I had to revise my post. I got the cue stick angle about right but I've edited the distance of the cue ball from the rail from 6" to about 2" - 3". I've been trying to re-visualize the memory since the original post above. I am not just trying to sensationalize here. I can still clearly see...
