    What are twist english strokes? I hope it's not just another word for swooping.

    Delfection/Spin Methods

    Seems you're missing the forest for the trees. What you're saying has nothing to do with JJ video. Your sentence about idiosyncrasies contradicts the other assertions.

    Delfection/Spin Methods

    That's not a system. It's just one person's method based on the feel they've accrued over the years. Very similar to all "systems", they all tend to get you in the race near the starting line but aren't of much use in getting you over the finish line. To the OP, using inside to facilitate thin...

    State Open Tournaments?

    You may be familiar with them but have you talked to them? My guess is no. My advice is, talk to them. A good question to ask might be how much money it cost them before giving up. Not to mention the time and frustration.

    Instead of sniping at me, read my 1st (#66) post in this thread. The 2 people mentioned will be more than happy to explain to you what you're up against. Their opinions are worth more than everyone on this forum. They have actually done what you're trying to do.

    State Open Tournaments?

    Most of the posts here have pointed out the roadblocks you are sure to encounter. You don't seem inclined, first of all, to acknowledge them, and secondly, have any sort of plan to deal with them. Until you do, you are destined to fail. That's not unsupportive or negativity, it's reality.

    State Open Tournaments?

    If you're working out the details in this thread you've already failed. It indicates a lack of knowledge and confidence. The consensus here has been (through knowledge and experience ) that this enterprise has little to no chance of success. You claim to want feedback and advice from people here...

    Do you think you could be a little more specific? Just kidding. Can't wait for his answer.

    State Open Tournaments?

    The OP didn't even know Fargo existed or what playing the ghost was as little as two years ago. Now he wants to reinvent the wheel. Again, you have to wonder about this group. If they read this thread would they still want to be involved? Not likely if they have half a brain.

    I'm also wondering if the other members of this "group" are privy to the info contained in this thread.

    Advance to what? If you are letting pros in then how would you know how many will enter? Are you only going to let 8 in? What if 19 pros sign up? If that happens, then no amateurs will sign up. You may want to think in a little more detail.

    All right, I watched the vid and can see what we're dealing with here. Give me a little time to digest everything and I'll get back to you with some thoughts and recommendations.

    The highlighted does not exist. Unless you can come up with a way to convince 40-50 players to put up $125 plus spend another $50-$75 for gas, food, drink, etc. when there's no chance of any reward, you are dead in the water.

    The 2 most recent attempts at something similar were Ed Liddawi's National Billiard League which never really made it off the ground (for numerous reasons) and Joe Tucker's American rotation which lasted a little longer. Both of these guys have way more knowledge and experience than the OP...

    Your thinking was somewhat correct. If the downtable layout was more open and accessible then cutting the table in half is a tenet of good 14.1 play. Options....another key to success, along with insurance. Like anything else, when you try making changes, results may be worse at first. This...

    What I highlighted is why you need to try and change your thought process. It's not oriented towards solving problems. Those 5 balls are all easily accessible and aren't a problem. When you shoot them off one after another without using any of them to try and solve the problems that do exist in...

    Have a little time to expand on a couple things. Since SSOP's site crashed that video is gone. Watch his rack of the week 139. Then watch Precision again. I'd be curious as to whether your perception of Precision changes a little. One thing about Rack of the week 139 is something Bob K said at...

    We aren't talking about what you said or explained. We are talking about what TK said to you. Unless, of course, it's all a complete fabrication, which wouldn't surprise anyone who knows you well.

    The only thing kindergarten level is BA knowledge of pool. If he continues to post incorrect or plain everyday fabrications I will continue to challenge him. Sorry it bothers you. Ignore button is an option.
