    Best advice for fixing stroke and line of aim

    And i remember how Mark Wilson once said, how impressed he was by seeing and hearing how snooker professionals work on their stroke and alignment :-) With drills that the average pool player would always call " dry, boring and somehow senseless" :-) Pool-Players are a species which is...

    Over The Rail Shot

    Hi Fran :) my Bad - i will never learn it - i meant 5 -10 cm which would be 2-4 inches. Thanks for correcting me 😉 With the grip its tough to discuss about. I can just talk for myself and for me it s still a relaxed grip- but i think got you. To grip it in a manner to "stay'" with the shaft...

    I Used to Use a System But Now....

    By far the very first thing to explain- and some *visual reference points* to "finde the pocket". That s enough at the beginning. And it doesn t really matter about what kind of reference points we may talk now- but *she* need some :-)

    Where Does Extreme Power Come From

    Well said John :) the A to Z is a smooth transition from back to forward-- the *speed* or "acceleration* i try to explain and teach it in this way: the length of your final backstroke is finally what will define and create your *stroke speed*. Means, the farther you pull back, the more you re...

    instructors comments on this help for vision center impared students

    Hello everyone, hey bbb :-) some good responses here (for me)- i like what Fran and Scott wrote. You cannot act here "in one specific" way. it s too complicated and many things could have influence on the outcome. When i see or identify, that the student has a problem with finding the...

    Dominant Eye Question

    From what i have seen here on the forum, i have NEVER seen someone- especially from the instructors or well knowledged ppl i know from here, that they discredited Gene Albrecht in any case. Gene is a very well respected person here. And he knows his stuff. The stuff which is being discussed...

    It's NOT the cue or the shaft that makes a GR8 player

    Your "own" cue doesn t have to be expensive- it has to give you confidence so you can finally "just" trust and do your job. That s it. And no matter if it would be a LD shaft or a regulär shaft. .....it only matters that you stay with it and that you can just focus on your job........by makin...

    Dominant Eye Question

    Thank you Scott, i had this "not so nice expirience" already with two extremly strong players- winners....champions. Both had been told, that if they would decide to try to fix *this vision problem*, that it could take a long time- and that they would for sure be in a f...ng long slump. One...
