Yes it does!

Textbook stroke? Karen Korr, Allison, Kelly...Buddy Hall, Ralph, Thorsten

Unless you find a table that can suspend the laws of physics, you can't avoid throw. You can only compensate for it. Steve

Dead on target, Scott. A good instructor communicates on whatever level required to make sure the student is able to comprehend the information. We all have to adapt to our individual students. Steve

I've found that some players think they need to keep focused through the entire game. And while you need to pay attention to everything that is going on, the only time you need to have total focus is the period of time when your bridge hand is on the table. In between, you can allow your mind to...

If you are serious about improving, there is nothing you can do that would help more than spending time with a qualified instructor. New pool cues are nice, but they don't help you improve. A good instructor can get you on the right path, and give you something that will last as long as you...

I learned by playing $5 games with Clyde McKinney (RIP) which was pretty cheap to learn from someone of his level. But I think Fran has pretty much nailed it. Steve

Welcome to our family. You won't find a better, more dedicated group anywhere.

Rufus Carter is in Atlanta. I highly recommend him/

If it's that far outside, it's likely one cause of your consistency. Since we use both eyes, even if one is dominant, most players get a more accurate line of sight when the cue is somewhere between the two eyes. But I must qualify that statement. I have seen pictures of Earl where it looks...

Call Dennis Stewart 419-217-8535. He's your guy for SPF instruction.

And looking back, I see Neil already brought up the quiet eye studies. Steve

Here's another billiards.colostate.edu/threads/eyes.html And if you really want some more, google "quiet eye" Steve

The studies on eye patterns have been done by some who are more qualified than I for that kind of thing. A little internet research might provide the information you seek. Steve

Rick, no need to apologize for asking a question...but I suspect you already know the answers to some of your questions, based on your experience with some other instructors. As I said, I don't keep statistics on details. But when an APA skill level 3 calls me two months after completing the...

No exact statistics...I don't bother to keep statistics like that with my students. That being said, I can assure you that it is much higher that before they attend the class. Let's just call it significant improvement. And isn't that the reason most people seek instruction? And the more they...

Nice!:thumbup: Steve

Just a little different perspective on this topic. I am a strong believer in teaching looking at the ob last. However, in order for that to be effective, the player has to have a consistent stroke that will allow them to make contact with the cb where they intend. I teach shooting in two...

The best instructors are those who have a passion for teaching. Having worked with many of the instructors who post here, I can tell you that these are some of the best anywhere. That's why we are here. Steve

There is a point at the bottom of the swing of a pendulum where it transitions from a downward motion to an upward motion. At that point, it is traveling level for a short time. One need only make sure they are at the bottom of the swing when the tip makes contact with the cue ball. The...
