The one thing I know..... is that the people that know the least, or play the least One Pocket complain the most. One pocket is the most challenging game on a pool table by far. In the pool world I have known for the past fifty years, very few players have attained greatness that did not play...

I wanna play Fatboy if he'll stick to his plan.:D

Rick, Your description of Pettmans stroke is right on IMO. I would also note that his grip position on the cue is further back than most that I see, and therefore requires his elbow to drop when taking the cue back to keep the cue moving in a straight line. On the forward stroke the elbow rises...

So, with the number of rooms deminishing and the pool of players willing to gamble growing smaller every day, it seems we play the same opponents frequently. The natural progression is for your customers to grow more reluctant with each drubbing. So, how do you keep em coming back...just...

Early Manzino I have one of the first cues Bob ever built back in 1995. I watched him build it in his little shop in Boca Raton. I have played with this cue for over seventeen years, and it is the finest hitting cue I have ever played with or tested. It is a relatively simple design of cocobola...

Thanks CJ You did it!! Thanks, that is much better. I don't know what you did, but it worked. I didn' realize that it was not appearing that way to everyone (if that is the case) Anyway, thanks:thumbup:

CJ Not wishing to give you a hard time or anything. Do you see the problem on your screen when you read your posts? Since yours are theonly ones that appear to have this problem ( which I have noticed on some currently active other threads also) It must be something to do with your settings. I...

This is too hard CJ I would like to read your posts, but having to continuosly scroll right and left is too much. None of the other posts are like this, so I assume it is something unique to you. Can you do anything about this to make it easier on all of us?

New Book Fred Sent money via paypal in April for your new book, never did see any acknowledgement that you recieved the payment. Trust that you did. Can we get an update on the completion and shipment outlook? Thanks Darmoose

A matter of Definition This statement is at the core of this entire discussion. I have looked at your charts and explanation of the pemdulum stroke in an earlier thread, where you depict a pendulum stroke with the rear of the cue and necessarily the tip rising and falling as the shooter moves...

If the key thing to look for on a piston stroke is that the elbow drops on the "backswing", I'm LOST. I don't believe I've ever seen that happen. An elbow drop on the FORWARD stroke (which has the effect of lowering the hand, and thus the cue, keeping the tip moving forward on a level track) is...

So it seems we now have numerous examples of pro players with piston strokes, and indeed at least some of us think most pro players play with a piston like stroke in order to keep the cue as level as possible. Perhaps Bob could show us or name some pro players that have a pendulum stroke that...

Well, my general recollection of most pros strokes is that they have a more piston like stroke than a pendulum like stroke. Before going any further let me say that I am subscribing to English's definition that a pendulum stroke requires a fixed elbow, and dropping and raising ones elbow is an...

Neil, I'm sorry if I said something to make you think I was kidding you. I certainly didnt mean to, anymore than I meant to display any "attitude" towards you like you are starting to display towards me. If you can't give me a reason in just a few words as to what you think I am missing, thats...

It's a very long thread Neil. Pls save me the time and tell me what I am missing or misunderstanding?
