I agree...experimentation is an important part of learning.

Honestly, no special stroke is needed to get this action. You do it your way because that's how you make it work. Another player could get the same result using backhand pivot style english. And another player could do it using a traditional straightforward stroke, lining straight up with the...

Thanks so such!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Here is my newest YouTube video showing a handy banking system for balls that are froze or near the cushion. The aiming references aren't 100% accurate, but they are 100% consistent, and that makes it a great training tool.

I made a video of my easy method for banking balls that are froze or close to the rail. The system isn't as technical as other methods, but it's very effective and could help players develop a good eye/feel for these types of banks.

I will do that, when I get time. The same theory works for short-rail banks, full-table. But every eighth is a 1 diamond difference instead of half a diamond.

Another great video! Thanks for sharing! Here's a neat fractional banking method that I came up with a few months ago. It's very easy to work and manipulate as needed. It works well when the ob is froze or very close to the cushion. Aim a little thinner if the cb is closer than about 10...

Cost to replace water heater: $$$ to $,$$$, depending on what type and who installs it. Damage to home (unless heater conveniently located in basement): $$$ to $$,$$$ My girlfriend's estimate on floor damage was over $20,000! (Sorry to sidetrack the thread)

Yep....nothing worse than the bottom dropping out and flooding the place. I installed an electric tankless in-line water heater in my girlfriend's house last year after her old tank started leaking. The leak ruined her hardwood floors. I suggested going with a tankless heater, and that...

What happens quite a bit is that a player will get down into a shot and then realize they need to cut the ball a little thicker or thinner than they thought. Instead of getting back up and making the correction, they try to fix it with their stroke, keeping their body positioned for the initial...

Maybe so, but you still get your points across.

According to the AZ Billiards rules, I don't think it would be a problem on any forum, unless the member posts only a name and a link, or if they post such ads so often that it could qualify as spam. Spam is against the rules.

I haven't found any forum rules concerning advertising, other than posting only your name and a link. That is against the rules. Messages/posts should contain content, not just a name and a link to a website or product. The only other rule I found that could possibly relate to advertising...

I know this is the common belief, but I haven't seen any proof of it. What I have seen is proof that players rarely know with 100% certainty where to aim. Guesswork and estimated aiming leads to missed shots. Of course, faulty cue delivery can lead to missed shots also, especially for...

I agree. I respect Mark Wilson's opinion, but aiming errors are quite common, and I don't believe the bulk of an average player's missed shots is stroke-related. Fact is, plenty of spin shots require quesswork/estimation when it comes to aiming. Plenty of cut shots require...

Failing to deliver the cb accurately can be caused by two factors: inaccurate aiming or a flawed stroke.

Lol....I'm reading through this thread and wondering what possible benefit there is for calling it a "push" or a "pull" of the cue. To me it makes zero difference. And that goes for "throwing" the cue forward also. With that said, I place my 2 cents on "push" for the forward stroke. On...

I agree 100%. Halleluja.
