Stop the video at 7 seconds and you'll see your problem. See how your cue is angled inward? It's your approach. You start out straddling the shot line, which is fine, but you have to make an adjustment to get your back foot on the shot line or you'll wind up at that point at 7 seconds into the...

Well, it depends on what happens to that gap as your armswing approaches impact. When you're first learning, loose grips are not that easy to manage as the cue moves through the stroke. It's a natural instinct to want to hang on to the cue as your arm moves, so depending on how you hang on to...

Not all loose grips are alike. There are bad ones and good ones. Tight grips serve a purpose on some shots, but you should be able to do both successfully. If the loose grip you're experimenting with isn't working, then try other loose grips.

It depends on what you're trying to change. Some things work together which makes it unrealistic to change one without the other. For example: Feet position and balance (how you're leaning) go together. You can't fix one without fixing the other. Another example: Arm swing, grip and eyes go...

Well, it sounded to me like you saw me as a fool. I've been around the block some. I'm not that naive.

It seems you're crucifying me for saying the words "I know where you're coming from, but..." So how about you lay off me --- who does actually have some expertise in this field. You've made your point several posts ago.

You've seen me tell people off. But this guy's not offending me. His ideas are out there, but he's not claiming to be an expert like some others.

I read it as she set a new standard of playing style among the women, (with her snooker style,) which was true back then, which makes her a pioneer of sorts --- and she did host several training weekends, which makes her a trainer, and I thought Roadrunner was some kind of pool playing app he...

Yes, I can see that he's thinking out loud, basically. I respond to stuff like that only when it appears that the facts have been distorted, intentionally or not. I like to set the record straight when possible.

Ok, I see where you're coming from but you have to be careful about how you word things. You're making it sound like Allison was one of the original pioneers of the WPBA. She came along 20 years after the WPBA was founded.

OK, well, everyone has a name. And what entire women's organization did Allison pioneer?

I have a few questions for you. What entire women's organization did Allison pioneer? Who are the generous donors to the WPBA that you're referring to? Are you saying Stu, Michael Fedak and Goldwater donated generously to the WPBA??

Mosconi. He made it look like a kids' game. Willie reminds me of the pro bowler, Earl Anthony. Both were compact, super efficient, balanced, with no extraneous motion.

Mind your own business.

Hard to tell from just a diagram, but this looks like a Jimmy Fusco special ---Jack up on the cb and kick the 8 full, rail first, with left draw spin, holding the cb as the 8 banks two rails, hitting past the cross side pocket and drifts towards the 9. Shooting jacked up shots off the rail takes...

The next time someone gives you advice on what shots to shoot with a closed bridge, ask them how long they played exclusively with both bridges. Most players do not experiment with the opposite style by playing with it exclusively. So what kind of advice do you think they're going to give you...

There's an expression that many young people don't know, called 'lowering the bar.' The 'bar' represents the level of class, dignity, self respect, and all those good things that people used to strive for in their lives and for their children's lives. Some still do, but the numbers of those...

Can you post some videos of yourself shooting from front, side and back perspectives?

The WPA is a collaboration of all of the continental federations. Every continent and therefore, country, is represented in the organization. Creating or changing rules is a very detailed process that undergoes heavy scrutiny by each continental federation before the vote to incorporate the new...

Ha! Not from the Bronx, but I do confess to doing a little Italian shopping on Arthur Ave. :cool: Happy Holidays to you too.
