I don't like how snooker players have this condescending attitude towards pool players. Efren Reyes won gold in the first snooker tournament he played in.

I think it's much easier to teach a player strategic theory than the subconscious natures of stroke, aiming, and speed control. Many pros will tell you they just aim subconsciously. Aiming systems only serve to reinforce the subconscious

Are you having trouble with positioning? Start simple, just place 3 balls on the table run them out. Planning 3 balls ahead is the basic rule of thumb.

It's a great stroke drill. As far as aiming goes....what aiming?

holy crap. nice dude, that definitely saved you alot of money. Could you post some instructions on how to build one?

My mistake, i misread. He died next to the pool table where he had been practicing.

Reminds me of Luther "Wimpy" Lassiter who died slumped over the pool table. Pool is a game, and pool is life.

The original poster said he was playing pool online, the tracking lines were probably like Virtual Pool 3's that tells you the exact path the balls will go. Either that or maybe another term for the tangent line.

If you watch Mika Immonen play, this "bicycle stroke" is extremely apparent. Despite the fact that there's more movement compared to the traditional stroke, it seems to stabilize the cue more.

Willie Mosconi vs Efren Reyes It would be a Tyson-Ali matchup, one that we will never know the winner of.

I use "Mothers" automotive instant detailer. It's not a wax and works like a champ

Lol, I've got a box of chalk at my house labeled Pioneer. Has anyone even heard of them

Use a little caution when taking them though. Benzos are extremely addicting. I've heard the withdrawal effects rival that of heroin.

Lol, that's what Willie Mosconi's father did. He hid the balls from Willie and told him he wanted him to be a ballroom dancer. Great strategy

OHere's a few tips I've learned over the years. Don't think simply about hitting the cueball, the most important factor is how straight the cue pushes THROuGH the cueball. One aspect of stroking many players forget about or totally ignore is timing. Time your stroke so that the cue tip hits...

Personally. i incorporate contact lenses into my training. Whenever I'm practicing at home ill remove the contact lens from my non dominant eye. This trains my dominant eye to do all the work with zero interference from my non dominant eye. So there's no confusion with each eye telling me...
