Well- I ve read it two times .....- Fran: This posting is one of the very best i have EVER read about this topic- i personally also like to describe it as you did here- but you have found (ofc just for me :) ) in this little response the perfect words. A big "WOWSER" worth. I am very impressed-...

Well Bob- this should be a sticky in each part of this forum site :-p So much heavy iron in your words- Excellent posting!

shoot me a message as soon as you know you re going to invade germany :-) hit em hard Eric :-)

Have this pdf already a long time- These "Standard End Patterns" are fantastic to give 14.1 Starters a good insight how to make the game much easier. Hit em hard isusedtoberich- and many more "Ahaaaaaaa s " :-)

Detecting if someones jumps up is easy- the thing that matters is, why he jumps up. Several reasons for it outthere. Funny if someone thinks, there is "one reason" for it. :-p

HIt the nail Eric :-) Jürgen Wulf- glad to call him one of my very best friends. And one of the most impressive instructors i ever met. His ability to "communicate" with young humans is unbelievable. The times he invited me to make some trainings camps with him to work with kids was always a...

Don t get me wrong- i hear you for sure. Ran through stuff 30 years ago...where i was close to would have loved to hit someone for his "luck", LOL. But it doesn t really help at all :-) Loosing Hill/Hill in the semi finals of german nationals because of "century fluke" on the final...

If "someone" really want to compete in tournaments seriously, he has to find a way to handle such things. And to it s just about you how to respond to circumstances you have no influence to change it- But you decide how you response to such things. :-)

That s just another opportunity for YOU to have another shot- that s it.

Get a talk with the PBIA Protractor-- i m pretty sure, that this would be a good idea to get yourself a course- and including a certification. HOw you will go on depends on you :-) But for the first steps imo it could be really helpful for your own ability to teach some fundamentals right from...

Well chosen words matey- it s all about *percentages* at the highest level of pool (ofc also at lower levels). Sometimes you know that *it could need a tiny bit of luck* to hit it perfectly- and there are such days, where everything seems to work perfectly. But what is fact- your attitude is...

i hear ya, lol! I remember VERY VERY well...but the opposite ^^ , when my buddy put new cloth on his tables in his pool hall in the middle of 80 s- and put an carom artistique cloth on them..... - MAN that was funny, rofl. You just had to touch the rack and it was wide open, lol!. But it was...

definitley Shuddy. nowadays cloth are just better because of better manufacturing methods- i think the last "thicker" cloth i played was in the 80 s - the "Mali" Cloth. If brushed daily- cleaned daily it was fine to play on it......but as soon it got older, and with high humidity.....it was a...

Kanzzo already shown up with his positive comment to your "first 50"- and hell yeah- i know that this "first time" feels good :-) I see it also the same way as Kanzzo did-- your potting is good. Kanzzo said, that your position is good also- but I would like to go a bit further :-) with a...

Yes- Oliver has problems with his back- but not to forget, that Oli has his own well running buisness since a long time. So playing pool is not his first "task"- ofc i m sure he is still a player deep inside- but hey :-) it speaks for him to set the priorities as it is positive for him...

3 cushion i had to make 10 points- opponent (strong international champ) to 50.....-- to loose here as an *okay player" can kill your nerves :) but at the same time awesome to see someone playing that great. Think at that time i was a 0.4 to 0.5 player on average. Myself gave a player 6 to 11...

Saw this "Aha Effect" on several of my students :-) As soon as you start to really "learn" about how to bank...it will also teach you so much more for your all around game as well :-) Was a great reading from you Brian- and i really was grinning like crazy :-p hope you re doin well Brian-...

No matter if you have so called "textbook fundamentals" or an "unorthodox style"- Important is, that you have consistency. Imo the very best example is Busti. When I saw him the very first time in the early 90 s here in germany.....my first thought was (seeing him from behind": What the...

Diamonds are players best friend :-) As soon as I have to use a rail- no matter if it is a bank, kick or just for position play I use always "diamonds".
