    CTE Aiming

    I like Allison Fisher's aiming method, she says she really doesn't have one, she just always tries to hit the back of the object ball, I assume she means if you aimed your cue at the back of the object ball straight into the pocket, that's exactly what I do as well, the trick is to make sure the...

    Jb custom case ordered.. now the wait!

    I love mine and it was worth the wait, mine is more of a plain Jane but extended length, I leave my 3" extension on the butt all the time, now I don't need joint protectors or to take the extension on and off all the time, just works for me, can't beat the protection of these cases.

    Mark Wilson on sidespin to pocket balls

    Have to disagree, when I started to learn to play pool I started using English almost all the time, after taking my first lesson with a certified PBIA billiards instructor I learned not only did I use English all the time intentionally but unintentionally as well, I couldn't perform a stop...

    Better than Phenolic

    I concur, all the Bulletproof tips hold chalk like a champ, I am using the Bulletproof Recoil tip for a playing tip and the Bulletproof break tip, INMO they are the CF of tips, they are a polymer resin and are very consistent from tip to tip, I just used a Sandman shaper tool on my playing tip...

    Good players who do not look very good, while at the pool table, but still consistently run out.

    Part of a players stroke has to do with some of their physical traits, a player who is 6'3" is USUALLY going to have longer arms than a player who is 5'9", speed of stroke can't be taught, that to is something you are born with, these are not excuses but things that a player needs to recognize...

    How to find a good Pool instructor?

    One of the first things we worked on is MY vision center, if I sight down the shaft with my nose over the center MY brain interprets that as just right of center, to me it looks like I'm dead center but the cue ball doesn't lie, I am unintentionally putting RH English on every shot! My vision...

    How to find a good Pool instructor?

    Just read The Inner game of Tennis, using what I learned from that book every day now, Mark Wilson talked about doing all your thinking before getting down to take your shot, this book really drives this point home.

    How to find a good Pool instructor?

    I have a similar experience, I am not at your level yet but there were things I could never have learned from just watching, think about it, all athletes have coaches, golfers, basketball players, baseball players, the list is long, the coaches are not necessarily better than the players they...

    How to make old carbon fiber shaft slick again.

    I use Renaissance wax, it can be used on leather, jewelry, paintings, buy the smaller can, you will need very little of it and makes the shaft very slick, I have been using it for the last 2 years, I do use it on my leather wrap, you can find it on Amazon, it does have a strong odor that...

    Becue Leonardo Balance System

    I have the Becue Engage 12.3 and the 11.8 shafts, I recently got the Prime II 12.0, all I can say is WOW, I have owned the McDermott Defy shaft and hit a few others, the Prime II is my favorite by far, I find the deflection nearly identical to the Engage shafts with a little more flex, I think...

    Anyone notice the quality of major brands of tips going down?

    I have been using the Bulletproof Recoil (green) tip, it's not leather, I have them on (3) different shafts, I love the consistency from tip to tip and the way they hold chalk, hold shape, and lack of tip maintenance, I usually practice an hour or more every day so my tips get a pretty good...

    What does a good stroke feel like?

    What a great read, I started using some of the info I learned from it today, it really ties in with what I learned from the Mark Wilson video, I always considered myself a slow player, but using the "self 2" mentality my play speed increased.

    Becue Leonardo Balance System

    They use carbon fiber on the space shuttle because of it's a ability to go from -476 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature in space, to 2,000 degrees when entering the earth's atmosphere, I learned this on a website about carbon fiber bikes, a guy in Denver Colorado was told he might have micro...
