Wise words- as soon the conditions/circumstances change, variables which have effect also change- so it s not "really" possible to control everything. To many variables to be able to control everything. Finally also a "robot" with a perfect stroke would miss at some point.

I for myself find it sometimes entertaining, how less knowledge is around in *some cases". Even if they are around for decades with playing pool. Just using different speed on the CB changes the aimpoint dramatically- how thin you hit the OB, how thick you hit the OB-- everything has an effect...

Everyone has to work out something, what fits with his eye-pattern-- to finally being able to give himself "the go". The stop at the cueball ( PONR = Point of no return) is really important- because here YOU decide if you commit....or you have one of these stupid 2nd thoughts in your head :-)...

wise words- the quite eye stuff is essential in my opinion.

@Topic Of course you need to both sides- and you have to master both things. @Poolmanis: I see it the same way- And I usually always use the "original" wagonwheel stuff ( and to use it just, as Ted Brown explained how to use it !!) , because imo this is a real eye opener for everyone- as soon...

Joey: Even if I am maybe goin off-topic; From my expirience (and therefore ofc my own opinion based on expirience), many students/players are using stuff without being able to explain it really. Visualisation is the most powerful skill you need ( of course next to be able to send Whitey from A...

TOI= using knowledge about deflection. That s it.

I use the Ghost Ball just at for example a very first lesson- Personally the Ghostball i use as a helper for caroms, position play ( tangent-line etc) - And.... also as a reference for the "overall perception" for a shot, before i go down. It s just a part from all. I never aim at a ghost ball...

Consistency has to be worked out with every shaft.

You re absolutely right Brian- As long as you have exactly the same shape you ll have very similar results. Imo you ll feel usually differences as soon as you re going extremely far outside (near the the zone where you would be close to scratch). the 12.5 version is much more "forgiving" as the...

If someone s really *looking* at the contact point- or if he just trying to burn in the "shot picture". Who cares. ( ok, stupid, lol-- many care about it^^) Imo the player who s able to start each shot using the same perspective as he did thousands of times in practice will take the most...

Exactly- someone has to learn "being comfortable being uncomfortable!". To say it with the words of the great Ken Ravizza :-) R.i.P. Ken.

Quality and hardness of the tips will matter for sure. As Fran pointed out- LePro haven t been the softest tips- i loved them back in the days but was really gettin pissed because often you had to work on them just too much. Later i started to press my tips- and that was for about 10 years my...

Sometimes he does imo- but just on some shots. What i saw, too is, that he worked hard on his fundamentals- he was keeping his head much more still. Also the body movement is clearly reduced. Like what i saw from him in Vegas.

a real "Best of 3 sets" to 4 is ok--- but this system sucks in my opinion.

Wise as words as can be on this topic :-) Especially to "trust the process" and to stay with it- that s the toughest part for players imo from my expirience.

Self-Sabotage while you re doin what you love cannot be really a good idea, is it? :-) Never let someone steal your fun boogieman- and maybe you ll try out to get a lesson from someone, who s worth it- and who clicks with you, too (what is really important!). All the guys (including me :-) )...

@boogieman Believe me- a lot of players are frustrated about "finding their stance"- There is of course no "Text Book Stance". Every human has an individual body- and also every human has a different "feeling for his body". For example i can tell from expirience, that if you work with...

This can have of course several "reasons" -and as Randy said, mental or physical. From my expirience the most critical point is trust and self-believe-- that may sound strange for "some players". But what I can assure to almost everyone: Let s video one guy (or more :-) ) who are coming up on...

Next to Ravizza I also like H. A. Dorfman s way of teaching. Insightful stuff from a wise man.
