The key here is that this shaft spins the CB very well and more than the others. More spin doesn't mean more will teansfer. Quite the opposite past a certain point. I actually learned this watching an old accustats 9ball match where grady and incardona like to wax poetic about shots...

This is a big distinction imo. An instructor instructs u what to do. They say, u do. A teacher aims for understanding on the student's part. They offer options and explain the WHY behind them. Dr. Dave is a good example of a teacher as his background as a professor shines through his...

True but there are def levels to consistency. As the bar gets raised higher and higher, the delivery has to be more and more pure and repeatable. Tweaks can be tiny. A stroke can be very good and consistent and yet doing something as simple as lengthening the time it takes to pull the cue...

There are plenty of great players with brief follow throughs. Especially guys who don't drop the elbow from a low stance...they just run out of room and complete the stroke just through the CB. Same stroke in a higher stance would go farther through . Look no further than fantastic shot...

The hand goes up. Tip goes down.

Great point on sighting. Now that you mention it, I think this is the most likely explanation for the longer bridges as stances have gotten lower over the years. If we look at loop bridges in particular, a more upright player can use the shaft for aiming at a close distance while a lower...

Truth. So many players get caught up in exact angles of this or that and getting the look just right, but if the particular setup they are trying to replicate doesn't fit them they end up with the form but not the function. A particular form can be confused as THE fundamentals, but really any...

I think deflection of cues may play a part here for some. If adjusting aim for spin is being done with backhand english (not necessarily BHE that is swooping during delivery as was def more common back then but even if adjusting before the stroke as some plyrs do nowadays) the amount of...

Oh I get the table flaw. That part is easy. Hooking onto it with the fly of your jeans with enough force to rip them down to the knee is where I'm struggling lol. Now maybe not all jeans are made the same, but the ones I've had the pleasure of trying to tear apart bc they were already beyond...

Seen it happen myself and can imagine a few other scenarios where it might, but the fly to knee jeans rip is mind boggling.

Maybe I need more time to process this, but I for the life of me can't imagine how this could happen. Ripping jeans from fly to knee is no easy feat. Just the forces involved....wow. I'd understand if he was running past and a pocket caught, but the fly? Pure bewilderment over here.

Bud, i just reiterated what everyone in the thread told u, including Bob who is an instructor to instructors. U want to call urself a master and simultaneously claim an easy low outside shot is beyond ur limitations, u go right ahead. I see ur master plan now. Choose the wrong shot. Claim...

I genuinely meant have fun levelling up. It is fun. No disrespect intended. But its prettu obv that u either A) are just messin around on a forum digging in Or B) grossly mismanaged ur practice time and got better than everyone on a difficult shot while remaining weak on an easy one. Ima...

The reason I can't see a scenario where someone calls a simple low and outside shot through a huge window as a weakness while having a perfect stun through a 6inch (at best) window as a strength is because that would make zero sense. You seem to practice a lot so I will share with u a common...

If a basic pool shot like hitting low-outside through a massive window is a limitation, I can't see how pin point angle and speed control could be strength.

Well I agree with u about emulating great players... they tend to take the highest percentage shots and favor 2 foot position windows over 6inch position windows all the time. Pretty much all great players would play either of the spinny 2 railers over the 1 railers frought with danger. As...

The only problem is that Mo was like a machine and professionals would decline bets that he could hit a champagne bottle in the fairway with a drive in fewer attempts than they could sink a 40 foot putt. The guy had divots in his clubs after a while of use because he hit the exact same spot...

Damn. You could kinda see it coming with what happened in the Reyes Cup, but you'd think they'd reconsider given how they got whooped so bad without him.

It was def whipped cream. But you right that it was Fats.
