    Contact Point Aiming Illusion

    My problem with all of this, is again, not my stroke. People keep telling me that I should aim with my cue-stick In my opinion, this is where it is wrong. It can only be very straight and dead on with 0 degree hit. Even a 30 degree, the cue is literally not aiming at the contact point. It...

    He is my idol. From this short summarization here, I don’t get who taught him how to play pool. I also can’t find his books on anything. Does anyone know 1/ who was his instructor ? 2/ the name of any pool books that he may have composed ? Thanks mucho...

    Contact Point Aiming Illusion

    I have not worked with an instructor. All of the videos I have seen is not useful. At least those that says aiming is not important, it is the strike delivery. I was asked if it was my strike delivery that isn’t accurate. So I responded that my strike delivery is 85% accurate as 8-9 shot...

    Contact Point Aiming Illusion

    Short answer Medium level 85% accuracy I don’t use those drills. I found that since I didn’t have a good “Aiming foundation” my stroke delivery half wanting to deliver a strike and half wanting to compromise, and I doubt myself. Even when practicing, I don’t do pocket drills. I didn’t...

    Contact Point Aiming Illusion

    My stroke delivery accuracy is about 85-90% accuracy. It depends on the distances and the power behind it. My problems started out with the aiming confusion, eyes and sight coordination, rather than stroke delivery. I lose my accuracy on delivering the stroke, when and only where I am...

    Contact Point Aiming Illusion

    One more thing to note is that once you get all of those practices drill done over and over for matter of months. You can also automatically work it all out like the professional do. But the funniest thing is that, once your mind figured it out, and you just point to shoot. You will see that...

    Contact Point Aiming Illusion

    Additionally, I just figured that in order to shorten the hitting 1 million balls drills. I can accelerate it by 3 combinations. It gets boring, but if you can keep it up. 1/ Tossing all the balls out onto the table, and then speed running after all of the balls hitting directly into the...

    Contact Point Aiming Illusion

    Since getting back to the game after 20 some years. I can say that this is where I am stuck at and trying to find out a way. I can aim and hit the shot so very close to 65-70 degree from the CP. That means the OB is barely moving when I cut it! However the term aiming at CP is uncertain in...

    Natural Talent?

    I agree wholeheartedly with your analyzations. Is is just crazy to think that there are naturally born talented people, who are not recognized or not into the topic as a profession, and it is in everything around the world. I have one friend out of all friends, he doesn’t own a table, he...

    Private pool club - how many members for a 6 table club?

    I do agree with all that you said. Especially the part where one shouldn’t make a hobby as a profession. I enjoy having a hobby, and pool is one of them. Whatever hobby I am in, I need thought about making it as a living. I have a very clear differentiation between a profession and a hobby

    Sick and tired of Predator “nightmare customer service” 😠

    My Lucasi break cue Ebony never splitted, and I have had it for 20 years. The shaft slightly warped but it isn’t perceivable unless I roll it on the table and paid attentions. Even the polished metal cover screw on the bottom of the butt is rusting, the Ebony stays perfect

    Rhino shaft buyers, let 'er rip.......

    I have got Rhino arrived , the shaft fit my predator butt just fine, not as flush and perfect as the Revo line. There is visual ribbing on the Rhino, like rings, where the Revo just look very Uniformly and straighter. Though, there is no ribbed feelings, the finished on the Rhino isn’t as bad...

    The latest stuff that I needed warranty was my washer, which I had extended warranty with a local shop, they had me logged in with name and address, as long as it matches up and within warranty, it was taken care of. Next thing was my gaming monitor, and I had to drive 30 mins to my bestbuy...

    Private pool club - how many members for a 6 table club?

    I know for a fact that if I could have access to a hall 24/7, I wouldn’t want to pay more than $50 a month. Anymore than that, I would rather have my own table
