Right now, the poll is running about 3 to 1 that CJ has at least, somebody paying attention to his posts. Unfortunately, it's the opposite for haters versus fans. I predict it'll go even further apart. 5 or 6 to 1 possibly, as soon as the silent majority wakes up and starts voting. :cool...

Old NO Baller was a trip! I just got schooled on all these posts by my 26 year old son. He's a member, but refuses to post anymore. He said that the guys 40 years and up are the "troll generation". They're basically unhappy and miserable in their lives. They've discovered an outlet in the...

Let's see...new member, old agenda...hmmmmm? Keep up the name calling. It really helps these discussions. Best, Mike

At first, for me it was trying to move toward the next object ball or away on a shot line. After watching CJ, I realized speed control was more important. I cross position zones more now with emphasis on my cue ball pace. Best, Mike

You know, I was reading that 74 is the new 39! :grin: Best, Mike

I've got a hot nurse practitioner I'm seeing tomorrow. I'll pm her info if you want. Best, Mike

I've stated before, with an average stroke shooting across the table from long rail to long rail, I usually get about a quarter diamond of movement on the cue ball. That's my TOI stroke. Results may vary. See your doctor if you experience an erection for more than 4 hours.:) Best, Mike

Nice to hear that! Sounds like it's gonna be a good year for you. :thumbup: Best, Mike

victorl, Why would you post a basic premise of TOI in this thread? It'll never be a flame fest now! :D Best, Mike

Dick, The 95% you speak of are the same dozen that follow CJ around in every thread he posts in. Their teeth are permanently fixed in his derriere like a chain of chihuahuas trailing behind him. It's no secret who they are, so name them instead of using a 95% moniker. Sadly, the other 5%, who...

Appreciate it! :thumbup: Best, Mike

CJ, I think you may have been a little quick on the draw, here with At Large. I actually thought he was trying to flatter your abilities and get your competitive juices flowing. Maybe his choice of words touched a nerve about "two bit tournaments", but I think he was joking more about that than...

Joey, You got to use the big guns...Like This...if you're gonna make a point! :grin: The forum is a perfect shield for keyboard commandos. They get their digs in without having to face their targets or care about the damage it does. I can usually make one phone call and get the low down on...

Dave Yeager was another player that came out of the Buddy Hall stable. He rarely turned the cue ball loose with a short, jacked up "punch" stroke. He had the cue ball on a string and spun it with little effort. We used to joke about charging him less for time since the cue ball had less...

I think quite a few better players know this stroke, but don't think of it as anything more than putting a stroke to the cue ball. I heard it called, "digging into the cue ball" by billiard players. Pool players called it, "quick spin". The stroke makes the sound it does because of the way the...

ENGLISH! and His Boy Elroy are not the same person, nor are they CJ. Best, Mike

Good post. This is exactly what I feel when I put a good stroke on the cue ball. I always figured everybody played this way until this thread pointed out the different ways of using the wrist. Though I drive less nails at work these days and manage a screw gun more often, I still remember what...

You're probably moving off of the shot line as you get down on the shot. You won't be able to tell easily unless you check your head/eye position when you're down. I stand above the shot on the aiming line. I lower down deliberately, very slow, and make sure my eyes maintain the same shot...

Something to consider in using either the hammer stroke or a forward wrist flick is that the stroking arm must momentarily lessen its speed and provide a resistance or blocking action in order for the wrist to move forward. In the a kinetic chain, one link following the other will come to a...

The faster tables make pinning the cue ball a little tougher. It still works pretty good on the bar tables in tight quarters. Best, Mike
