How true. A winner never quits. A quitter never wins.

It's not so much trying to make tough shots as it is practicing tough shots to hone your skills under pressure. The math wasn't meant to be anything more than to indicate that with each error on the several requisites required to make the shot, no matter how slight, the likelihood of making...

I know you're trying to make a point. But it's pretty thin. I'm not laughing too hard. Do you really know good or strong shot makers that don't play position or play poor position? Maybe a strong position player has a chance of beating a less skilled position player who is a good shot maker...

I met a guy back in 1975. I believe his name was Rick. He told me that he had come in second place in the New York 14:1 tournament. He didn't say if it was city or state. I'm starting research just to see if I can find out any information about these old tournaments. I found out that Danny...

Pretending? Disingenuous? Okay. You've taken a position. You've made a stand. Fair enough. We'll see.

these videos automatically delete after 24 hours. when you see the next videos, this issue, along with others, will be resolved. Like day and night, I expect this to demonstrate the power of my technique to efficiently and rapidly correct the fundamental flaws most of us have acquired over years...

Yes. I recommend taking a video of yourself shooting. Then compare what you see with videos of the champions and pros. What are they doing that you are not doing. Yes. I should be able to lock everything down soon enough. I just need to pay attention. And make a little more effort. Let me...

that's just the first step. there are 4 more steps: the shot line, cue stick center axis, alignment, locking it all down. but again, everything is right there in front of your eyes. from the moment you stand before the table to when you release the cue ball. nothing is hidden from you. you are...

I've been thinking of making the trip to the old Hard Times building in Bellflower just to see what, if anything, is going on there. If anyone can shed some light and save me the trip I'd appreciate it. I've also been wondering if the first owner I knew of was either Kenny or Kinney. Driving me...

Looks like you do. You're right. In order to make such shots you are forced to perfect all aspects of your game. Let me briefly explain by example. After you decide your position, and the path to it, you are now in a position to know everything there is about the shot. Focusing on the first...

I bought these Dynasphere Bronze billiard balls Nov. 2023. I've never even cleaned them.

Okay. I just uploaded another video. This is an unedited video, unlike AZB 4. It begins when I make the first shot. I take 8 successive shots. I make 5 of them. It's a tough shot. I had to cut it up into 3 videos because of length. But the ends and beginnings overlap. So you can see that they...

Okay. I just uploaded to a website that hosts free anonymous temporary videos. It says it will expire in 24 hours. I checked. The link works and the video looks good. This is just to demonstrate that I can make shots just using my technique, as lame as my proficiency is at it at this time. I...

You look familiar. Haven't I seen you around here before?

Haiku? No. Ayahuasca. It may not be as smooth as Kentucky Sour Mash. But it certainly makes a lasting impression. "If you want to see god, take DMT." Joe D. I'd like to have lunch with a pool god.

Great reply. I tried to explain to my girlfriend. But she was too pissed to reason with. We spent the night sleeping in the car because I dogged the 9-ball. No lovey-dovey for me. "Heh, hon. Let's share a Happy Meal... Geez. It's just a game, after all.... (grimace) All right. I'll...

"I didn't know if I was going to make the shot." "Then why did you shoot?" Exactly. 'nough said. Common sense. No more dilly dallying. You gotta stick it in. You gotta put it in. No more guesswork. In the end, you are "putting" that cue ball. Stroking the cue ball or hitting the cue ball? It...

Let me explain why perfecting these 5 steps listed in the OP are so important by example. You may not be able to perfect each one, but maybe you can rely on your abilities to get close, say, 90%. That's pretty good. So if we multiply each step at 90% each: .9 x .9 x .9 x .9 x .9 = 0.59. So...

Cole told me face to face, just me: "I like beating guys who use lots of english." Let us know if you have any insight as to what he meant. If you never saw him shoot in his prime, around 1969, you are at a disadvantage. And if he never confided in you, you are in even less of a position. If...

You probably noticed that the OP does not mention anything about shape/position play. That is because it is specifically talking about potting balls. Now, position is an advanced topic. Position determines the shot: what object ball, pocket, path, and the final spot position. It is inclusive...
