    Ron V aiming system video and diagrams

    Thanks, Stan. I imagine you don't post info about it, for you teach it, right? How much are lessons? How many lesson hours are needed to learn it completely? Best regards, Flex

    Great video! Thanks! Now I'll go back and relook at the way I was doing it and see how much easier your method is. Sure does look easier.

    Ron V aiming system video and diagrams

    My suggestion is that you spend some real quality time with the system, and realize that it might just be better for some shots than what you are currently using. Once you reach that degree of confidence, IMHO, you'll really be sold on the system. For me, that realization came during the three...

    Ron V aiming system video and diagrams

    When I tried to figure this thing out, I did so on the toughest 9 footer I've ever played on: Table 1 at First Break Cafe in Sterling, VA. I got it to work pretty well on that table and then moved over to Table 2 at that place. It worked plenty well for me... I wasn't shooting with english...

    Ron V aiming system video and diagrams

    I'll try. First, figure out the line from the object ball to the pocket you want. Then walk over behind the cue ball and line the cue ball up with the object ball so you are looking at it straight on. Place your tip in the 90/90 position as shown in the drawing in the original post from the...

    Thanks for the response, Joey. Although I didn't mention it in my prior post, when playing 9 ball after figuring this thing out, my opponent saw me running the balls like never before, and it was plenty easy. Center ball requires a different kind of game than using english and so on, for...

    OK folks, here goes. Against my better judgment, I'm posting something that might just help someone improve their potting of balls. I hope they don't use it to beat me! I watched those videos of Ron V on Youtube as posted above. What I found after a few hours experimenting, and another...

    How to explain a Cue purchase to the GF/wife

    Can't say as I agree with that last statement. I understand it may hold true for some or perhaps a lot of pool players, but definitely not all of them. Get a nice cue, a good player, stick with it. Perhaps have some extra shafts made, and turn your beauty into an experimenter of sorts, if that...

    Aiming systems are overrated?

    I think aiming may well be overrated. However, having systems to help find the aim line for a pure, rolling center ball hit is very important. After that aim line is determined, then all the variables for the shot, for instance speed of cue ball, what kind of spin (if any) that is applied and...

    What do you recommend for a sealer or stabilizer

    Is that so... Hmmm... what's it got in it, sugar or something that attracts fish? What kind of fish hit 'em harder? Also, isn't WD poisonous? Will that get into a fisheater's system?

    Help - looking for a cue with....

    I'm sure Schmelke can make something to your specs for a very decent price, and in a pretty quick time frame too. http://www.schmelkecue.com/index.php?osCsid=5fueuonbp63kcgkpfqc0gii0h7&cPath=2 The last cue they made for me, a full-splice 4 pointer ebony with unusual specs took them about a...

    Regarding Charlie Edwards Cue !!!

    Since he lives in Florida, not much chance of that. On the other hand, I heard just the other day that voter turnout in Cook County, Illinois, might hit 140% this year :eek:

    Regarding Charlie Edwards Cue !!!

    Is Eddie totally normal, as in balanced, as in having his head screwed on straight? It's one thing for him to be a poor businessman, it's quite another to think people won't see through all his weaselly statements, and more than statements, behavior. I wonder who he's planning on voting for...

    What do you recommend for a sealer or stabilizer

    Thanks KJ, you have indeed given me food for thought. It's interesting you've mentioned that no wood sealer will keep WD from penetrating. Just wondering why I haven't noticed any problems with the shafts I've coated with WD followed by carnauba and then furniture polish. Just because WD...

    What do you recommend for a sealer or stabilizer

    Thanks, Joey. Do you know if that stuff is available in local hardware stores? I tried to find it on Home Depot's website to no avail. It'd be quicker and easier if I could buy some locally instead of having it shipped. Flex
