A man of few words. You had to dig for that one. It was all the way back on page 2! I guess the gems are worth digging for when they're that good. :grin: I never thought about HAMB that way. I guess you'd have to go about it just right to get the perfect combinations to success in the...

This will help clear up some confusion. :D pros·e·ly·tize (prŏs′ə-lĭ-tīz′) v. pros·e·ly·tized, pros·e·ly·tiz·ing, pros·e·ly·tiz·es v.intr. 1. To attempt to convert someone to one's own religious faith. 2. To attempt to persuade someone to join one's own political party or to espouse...

It's an interesting possibility and one that Mythbusters might be interested in doing a show about. At the very least, the AZB tribe can figure it out and put it to rest or run with it. Stuff like this keeps the juices flowing and puts fun back in the game. :cool: Best, Mike

Thanks, but I can't take the credit for that. Rick (ENGLISH!), suggested that before the experiment got under way, I think. I'd have to go back and check, but it was his idea, first. Best, Mike

Rick, How good's your swipe stroke? There's got to be a few on the forum that can pull it off. We'll have to ask them to put out a video and show us how good their swipe is first. :grin: If we approve them, then we'll have to get them to put out a test video for us. Best, Mike

Big E, I think the examples of swoop and Dave's findings are right in line with his controls and applications. He methodically tested and retested the swoop as well as he possibly could. Plainly, he drew the correct conclusions with the results he achieved. I agreed with his findings and...

Those are high quality images. I can see them real well. That must've taken hours! As far as the quality of the other images, I'm sure you spent quite a bit of time on them. I just couldn't make out much. You're more anal retentive than I am. I'd have thrown something at the wall trying to get...

I had a few different cameras, but nothing too outrageous. I got by with the basics. I could see what I needed to see in slo-mo and recorded it for the players. I'd point out things for them in their swings and then give them some video of a pro swing that had what they needed to think about at...

CJ, How much action did you lose shooting that second masse'? :D Best, Mike

Being a contractor, I usually get the physical connections you make to the game. If I stayed in school a little longer, I could have been a nuclear physicist, too. It's kind of like the work I do now. Just without the nuclear part. Best, Mike

I forgot what I ate for dinner. Can't help ya'! :grin-square: I caught Chris' comments. I remember trying to count frames with the baseball swing for mucho hours. Nearly impossible without the right equipment. You tube videos skip a lot of frames. Best, Mike

Thanks for the tips. Best, Mike

I can't see the cue stick well enough to make much of an opinion on this picture. I just see the results of the cue ball track. Too close to call on the actual stroke. Best, Mike

I can't pick out the colors on my monitor, but going by your description of their location, I can just figure out their placement. No significant tip rise at any point up to tip contact...yet the forward roll is fairly well shown on the track you drew of the cue ball. In fact, it looks like a...

Best, Mike

True, as well as some gearing spin to help the CIT. Best, Mike

I've played guys that had some such terrible strokes, I never figured out how they got out. Dave Yeager used to pull his stick around his back and act like he was pulling out his wallet. He stood straight up (6'6"tall), jacked up, super short bridge with a punch stroke. Never hardly took a...

CJ definitely has a solid technique going on. It's a push as far as I can tell. I feel the same way about my stroke playing rotation games. I may pull the cue a little more playing straight pool. Best, Mike

Think about how good his initial alignment must be. There are times I stroke back and forth to gauge my shot line and speed. It'd be a game changer for me to shorten my backstroke any more than I already have. I'd have to rely on video or an observer to find any flaws with such minimal movement...

LOL It must've been a real pleasure to get any input from him on the game. A guy that that could really help smooth out any wrinkles. I played against Dallas West a few times before I realized it would be cheaper to just pay him for lessons. Jumped my game up quite a bit. We never worked on my...
