That eye pattern works well for a lot of people. I believe it is similar to Allison's PEP. I would only caution you to allow enough time (1 to 2 seconds) for your eyes to lock in on your final target and for it to register with your brain before you execute the shot. I believe that is one of...

You are missing out on a huge key part of the process. Think it (plan your shot) See it (visualise your shot) Do it (execute your shot) Steve

If I'm not mistaken, RandyG does pool schools in Portland from time to time. I would contact him and see if you can get into one of them. It will do more for your pool game than anything else you could do. Steve

I will work with any student......except my wife! Scott is correct. You need someone to help you find the most natural stance for your body type. Where are you located? Maybe we can suggest a qualified instructor near you that can help. Steve

To lift a line from a dog treat commercial... He would, but he doesn't have any thumbs! Steve

Anywhere from $3 to $10 per hour around town for the 9 footers. Several rooms give free table time to league players who play out of their room. Steve

The league I play in has taken care of that argument. A lower ranked player, if they are hooked after the break, can ask for a "push time out", which does not count against their regular allowed time-out count. Steve

Energy in = energy out. Several years ago every executive had a little thing on their desk with steel balls hanging from strings. You pull two back and let them go, two come out the other side. three back, three out. Same principle. Steve

Probably an APA SL4. :D Steve

The two games require very different mindsets, strategies, and skill sets. 8 ball requires you to evaluate the layout of the table and decide how to play it. 9 ball, the table dictates how to run the rack. I coach my low ranked players in 8 ball to move their balls closer to the pockets. That...

Your pre shot routine is more than that. I suspect you have been through an SPF school. Your pre shot routine is a combination of all 3 for your checklists...Studying, Standing, and Shooting. You should have a consistent routine for each area. Steve

A boycott would only hurt the very players you are saying you want to support. Steve

I use the pure pendilum stroke for very soft shots, mid range shots, and even my break. What kind of limitations do you see with the stroke? Steve

I would say that a good starting point would be to have your head, shoulder, elbow, grip hand and bridge hand all on the same plane as the cue. But, since all individuals are different, even this could require some fine tuning. IOW, you are asking for a specific answer to a question that still...

It seems, judging by this post, that your only purpose is to try and put down Scott, and stroke your own ego. I suspect that you probably think you have the likes of Archer and Busta shaking in their boots at the thought of having to play you. By the way...do you not think "all the knowledge"...

There are no secrets. Anyone who has ever been in my class will tell you that it's all out there for anyone who wants it. Randy, Scott, Mark, myself, and others simply try to bring it all together in one place to make the learning process easier. If you want it, it's available. If you don't...

We've been showing students how to learn speed control in pool school for years. It's really much simpler than this link would suggest. Steve

Because someone, anyone, even your Dad, told you, does not answer the question. WHY? If there isn't a valid reason for something, it may not be accurate. Perhaps, for his body type, gripping in the middle of the wrap was correct, but that doesn't automatically make it correct for you. Maybe...

If that's your opinion, then I guess this discussion is closed. Steve

Was there a particular reason given to validate that advice? Steve
