My apologies, when I hit the quote button I should have read what Spidey said about "C" players and deleted that part of his post. I don't agree with Spidey's characterization. Truth be told, PJ plays a pretty good game of pool. A C player he certainly is not. He's a way better player than I...

Nice post, Spidey. I particularly like your comment about the combination of an aiming system and BHE. If it's heresy, I suppose I'd also be guilty... BTW, folks, such a thing exists, and it works, at least a LOT of the time... Flex P.S. In the interest of full disclosure... this combo...

Colin, Thank you for this post. One of the things that you have done that has helped me a great deal were those videos that showed the different results in terms of throw on the object ball depending on how the cue ball was struck. That helped me to figure out a great number of things that...

No, sir, I don't have to respect people who are abrasive, whether or not I know their name. If someone is uncivil, rude, berating, overbearing, unreasonably demanding, and so on, I don't need to respect that. I might understand it given difficult circumstances, but I won't condone it, or accept...

Mr. Wadsworth, your price I'm not willing to pay. Have a nice evening. Flex

Whether or not someone wishes to reveal their identity on a forum such as this one should be their choice, IMHO. There are times when I may call up someone by phone to ask a question, and many times I don't identify myself, unless I know them personally, in which case that will be the first...

I understand your reticence, and Arnot unfortunately dealt with quite a few people on here in less than cordial terms, which hasn't endeared him to everybody. He has some very strong opinions about what should be charged for say changing a tip, and so on. He, of course, if free to charge...

That's cool. If you'd be able to post up a video showing us a bit of what you know, and explaining what you can about it, I'd be most appreciative. Flex

It's interesting that you say it doesn't require any adjustments, for when I spoke with him about a month or so ago he told me there are 4 variables, which to me means adjustments are needed to deal with the variables. Did I understand him correctly, or? He also told me he has an advanced...

What you said in your earlier post was "It isn't BHE that gets you out of sticky situation, its the use of english. How it gets applied doesn't matter" to which I replied "Oh, how I wish you were correct. BHE is often the easiest way to spin the rock, not always, but often." Putting spin on the...

Tough cookies, Pat. I'm not going to go into the mud with you on this. Adrian showed me the difference, and that's that. Your argument isn't with me, it's with Adrian.

That's for me to know and you to find out. Perhaps you might ask Adrian Vigueira, the "champion three-cushion and artistic billiard player" about it. He showed me; unfortunately I can't describe it adequately. Flex

Of course, shooting as you show in your video will produce the squirt results with the cue ball going off the straight line. That is certain, and while a shaft may one day be developed that will allow PE to be used to get the cue ball to track on that line it certainly isn't here now. My...

"Parallel english" does work, with all the adjustments that are necessary. Those adjustments are tough, no doubt. I just find that using PE at times, and BHE at others, works for me. Am I perfect with it? Of course not, but I sure have fun trying. Flex

Yes, BHE is often much easier to use. However... since I practiced the shifting stuff so much before I knew anything about BHE, it's already in my brain, and the amount of squirt my shaft produces is a variable that has gotten easier and easier to compensate for almost automatically, depending...

The shot is a feel shot. You may say that players think they're doing one thing when another is actually taking place. Fair point, but it doesn't really matter, as it's in the shooter's mind in any case. If I think it's a parallel shift and I consciously shift it like that, as far as I'm...

With all due respect, Pat, when those shots are executed properly the ball pots and the cue ball moves... By the way, IMHO, the degree the cue squirts the cue ball does have a great influence on the ease with which these shots are pulled off.

I think that people need to have their wits about them, first and foremost, and when asking the simple question, "Hey, wanna shoot around? I'm not a gambler..." get ready for most people to respond with "Sure, I'm not a gambler either." That takes the pressure off the encounter from the get-go...

You want spitfire, he's there...
