    Simplified CTE

    Well- i see it that way. Let s say, "Dan" practicing a shot- and it works exactly as he visualized ( aka ball in the pocket, lol). "So why should he work on something." Just one typical example- I can show up with for example with exactly 8 students out of 31. These 8 people have this one...

    Simplified CTE

    Here you gave yourself the answer matey :) Your last words are the key--- by doing something.....and just "being result/success orientated", you adopt "such things". Ball goes down....so i ll go on with it...the same ways as i did it before. That s it. And in most cases you ll somewhen reach...

    Simplified CTE

    The brain creates *this picture" bbb-- so if you want to really try to attack such a problem, it is a "re-programming"- fact. But noone can promise you, how fast or how long this will last. I had students who were able to immediatley adjust (were i really was amazed and positivley shocked) on...

    Simplified CTE

    Excellent Post Dan- That is what it s all about- have had several extremly strong players who had *this problem*- And it works as you have shown up- but it takes time- made some relative "fast fixes" with players- and some went crazy- so you can never say, how long it takes to fix such a...

    Left eye dominate, right handed

    I for myself am not able to see with my right eye "really"- just a few percent on the right eye. So it s clear, that my left eye is super dominant. But there is a but :-) These few percents are enough, to *give" a slightly different result if i would close my right eye. My "head position", (...

    The ULTIMATE aiming system.

    On well expirienced players I agree 100% Brian- But this topic about the parallax error is existent- more than the most think. -- discussed this with 3 eye doctors and they ve been amazed how big the percentage number was, which i told him ( from 40 students- 12 had a clear parallax...

    Explain Mezz Shafts

    @ Catalin: best to worst: not possible to give you an answher- because this is ALWAYS subjective. I played with every Mezz Shaft. And each one is a high quality product- fact. the EX-Pro for example has a carbon insert ( the following shaft from the HP2Pro Series)- for a 12.5 mm Shaft a really...

    Nice one- good job Brian :-)

    The ULTIMATE aiming system.

    Agree- but even if i got your point Brian: Both parts ( aka the physical and the mental part) have to be "practiced" so that they can unconcsiouly run in the "correct"order :-) I think that s what you re saying. You can have the straightest stroke on the planet- but if you have just negative...

    My Thoughts on Aiming

    congrats :-) Alignment is almost everything- And that you have always the *same* perspective as soon as you "watch/aim" standing on the shot line. And as you have shown up, you re allowing yourself also, to be able *to stroke* with enough room while being down on the shot (what is the most...

    Best pool learning books?

    Dr Dave s stuff you started with is a very good start! Play Great Pool from Mark Wilson 99 critical shots in pool ( still an absolute gem!!!!) Mastering Pool from my all time hero George Fels-- even if the game of 14.1 changed a bit- Imo the bible to get a GOOD understanding! The Wagon Wheel...

    final backswing to tip-cb contact..how long should it be?

    100% Demonstrated it to some students who asked about pause- : started to video immediatley 16 players- And the results showed it clearly- and also in the time range Mark also shown up with. 5 out of 16 ( all A to A+ and higher) They all had been about 1,5 to 1,8- -- the other "lower...

    Where oh where do you go Front Foot?

    Well chosen- and very well described (as usual my dear Fran :-p ) The natural given "stroke direction" aka "anatomical natrually alilgnment" is always a good choice to give it a try. From my personal expirience it fits a BIG amount of humans/players. The other way, like it is for example...

    Alex Lely coaching NY May 29th - June 5th (note: 5th a seminar)

    Alex is one of the very rare examples who competed on world class level as a player- and in the past decase he also became an absolute world class teacher. One of these "few" guys i have so much respect- and would take every advice. And..... hell of a human :-) have fun with "the Plague"...

    Is SVB winning less tourneys since switching to cf?

    Ok- I think we both cannot talk for Shane, do we? Back to your "main question". In my opinion I don t think, that he is or was better with wood. I would go a bit further and say: Shane is still world class- and he still improves. But the elite top players nowadays are just better now. And for...

    Is SVB winning less tourneys since switching to cf?

    Well- woulda shoulda coulda.... In my personal opinion Cuetec would never judge Shane if he WOULD say: hey, I like this or that shaft better. Same with Joshua on Predator s side. It doesn t fit him ( the cf) as the z3 fits him. He feels better with it- for what reason ever. That s it. And the...

    The Simplest Aiming Systems to Visualize and Use

    It s really annoying, how aggressive people are on something, we " all like"-- if not love. I have never read so much usuage of insulting, offending and inhuman words on another forum. What the hell is wrong with you guys? What is so tough, to let someone use what is helpful for him- or even...

    Fedor vs Alex money match starts tonight. Who do you guys like ?

    I always enjoyed watchin Alex- and have the greatest respect for his knowledge and his mentality. But in such a long race he will have no chance unless he steals Fedors cue :)
