GM Brian. I think you may have missed the different ways to pivot from CCB to a % on the OB as he demonstrates. What Mike does, as I saw it, when he pulls his cue back from CCB he shifts his body to the left (a very small movement) and then delivers the cue to the % point on the OB hitting...

Training Session 4 (Part 1 of 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mRB5BktSmo Hope this helps to explain types of pivots that are open for use. I pivot my body to the correct percentage point not just the cue. It's a very, very small movement. Training Session 4 (Part 2 of 2)...

Training session 4 (part 1 of 2) is on YouTube. It addresses some of the posts we have made. John Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Both first and second shots on the OB went into the corner pocket as you instructed. Pivoting from center to 25% or 75% to different corner pockets. If I pivot in the air the first shot goes to the short rail at about .5 diamond by the corner pocket If I pivot in the air the second shot goes to...

I would like to see them switch to 10 footers and change the game to 10 ball. And rack the 1 ball on the spot. That would be exciting. :) Merry X-Mas John

First BOLD question. Answer = Absolutely. Second BOLD statement = he is hitting the QB with center any spin from the QB is collision induced. Personally I like starting from a known point and not just falling down on a known angle. It gives me a reference to start from. I guess that's why I...

Good point. So now it's 0%, 12.5%,25%,37.5%, 50%,62.5%, 75%, 87.5% and 100%. I have no idea what the fractional values of these percentages would be. It is neat to mess around with this stuff. Kinda reminds me of Joe Tuckers workout Parts 1-5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umDcg6D3-tI&t=378s...

Re-quote. Got it. Took some time, had to watch "Splitting the Difference" one more time. Watch Mike's upper body when he splits the difference from 50% to 75%. https://youtu.be/lIUy9x_J410?t=678 So he is not just pivoting the cue. He is adjusting the upper part of his body to deliver the QB...

I failed to mention, I'm facing the shot line (50%) square with the shot line coming into my body. In my case my grip hand is just to the right of my belly button. (this is where I see a straight shot line). My eyes then shift to 75% I form my standing stance (boxer style) and then rotate my...

I don't know, I have a hard time following his instruction in this video. I just rotate my body to come down on to the 75% shot line from the 50% line I see in the standing position. The center of my shaft is on the vertical center of the QB and at the 75% line of the OB when down on the shot...

Quoting my own post. :) Or, you can try what I do. From a standing position I align my body and QB like I was going to shoot straight into the OB. Then my eyes shift to 75% and I get down into the shooting position on the new shot line. The same thing when using "split the difference #2" I'm...

Okay, I give it a shot. This isn't easy for me to put into words. Here we go. :) Say your shooting a shot to the left. The cue ball values would be 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. (left to right) You want to shoot at 75%. Starting off you line up the OB, QB and center of shaft to hit the QB at...

I'm not one to complain about folks that don't offer constructive criticism to a subject. Those folks that don't offer educated comments on a subject that they do not have direct first hand knowledge of or qualified should probably state their comments elsewhere. At present I use 5 different...

Looking at a clock face. Look at the numbers only. On the OB 0% would be 9 as your eyes see it. cue ball edge to OB edge 25% would be 11 to 7 center of cue shaft 50% would be 12 to 6 center of cue shaft 75% would be 1 to 5 center of cue shat 100% would be 3 as your eyes see it. cue ball...

Thanks Mirza. :) John

I here ya. For the last couple of months I have been working on the way Alex Pagulayan uses his cue. I think I have watched maybe 25 or 30 of his matches. I love the way he limits his back swing and then pushes the cue ball where he wants it to go. He is ranked as the best all around player on...

Tuck at it's finest. Watch his wrist. He has his hand pre-cocked to deliver the cue to a final tucked position. https://youtu.be/zWpXs1OwtFY?t=555 In Part 3 (1of 3) Little Mike calls it swiping thru the CB. Later in the video he is clearly using BHE. I like it. :) John

In BOLD. LOL :) What I do from a standing position is get my CCB to COB. Set the "V" of my bridge hand on that line first while on my way down I pivot in the air down to the 1/4 OB (for example). I don't care for the manual pivots either. I like to keep my bridge, head, shoulder and tip of my...

Thanks for the clarification Dave. John
