Just asking an instructor a question that's all. Nothing different than what you do quite often I have a reason for asking as I'm sure you do with your questions. Let's just wait and see if anyone has an answer.

No, I'm serious. I've never seen it either. Just wondering if it could be beneficial on some shots. PJ'S still laughing, I don't know why.

PJ and bbb, I don’t understand why you guys are laughing at me. I asked a very important, legitimate question and was scoffed at. I'm not sure we can be friends anymore

How about sliding the bridge hand forward during a stroke. Would that ever be a good thing to do?

Play games all you want but you and everyone else know exactly what I'm talking about. John made those attempts strictly for and by himself. You on the other hand, advertise your event as being open for the best to try. Other than a couple of short attempts by others it's been rather one sided...

So if I'm understanding this correctly you're not going to extend an invitation to the most prolific ball runner of the last 20 years? Or maybe you did and he declined?

That's very nice but when will be seeing John Schmidt be making his attempt.

Welcome to 2024. If you'd played back in the 60's or 70's you'd be a happier man.

I saw somewhere around 20 exhibitions by Willie. They all followed a similar if not identical pattern. He'd miss a couple times and let the sacrificial lamb get a few balls then run 100+ and out. He never continued. He did this every single time. He went around the country for years doing...

Who are these people that believe it's more difficult equipment? The cloth alone makes up for the few extra inches in length probably ten times over. You think the distance would bother Willie?

It's JMO. JUST MY OPINION. I assumed you knew what it meant. My bad. No, I don't need any. The last paragraph of post #26 is in clear and precise English. That was and still is MY OPINION. If I have a reason, factual or otherwise, it was stated in that paragraph. Much of my upcoming book...

What are you talking about? "why not use the players bridge hand as an aiming aid, as you wrote?" No, I did not write that. Please read what I actually write and stop telling me I wrote something different. I gave a synopsis of the function of the bridge hand without going into any detail and...

When I say, nope double o, you're way too smart for this dumb pool player, that doesn't mean that I lied. Another reading and comprehending mistake by you. Book review is getting closer, bet you can't wait. Are there any sticks and balls in the book or are all the pics of your hand with pens and...

Nope double o, you're way too smart for this dumb pool player.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not an instructor just a pool player. I do help people out now and then if they ask. Every poolroom I've ever hung out at I was/am the go to guy when someone has a question. That's my only qualification. As for the questions and answers on this forum I don't really...

So, I read post 21 and 22 and see very little agreement between what BRKNRUN wrote and what you wrote. Curious as to how he interprets it. Your book is supposed to arrive next Monday or Tuesday so my review should be posted by Friday. My guess is it will be very similar if not identical to that...

Just a quick review of all this nonsense. You in post 5: Plop down your bridge hand onto the shot and shoot without practice strokes. Me in post 15: With a beginning player, if they just plop that bridge hand down on the shot/aim line and then fire away everything will be hunky dory. You in...

That could be because while pocketing in 9B may be more demanding, precise position is not that critical. The fine position touch needed in 14.1 is very difficult to recapture after a layoff.

That's an awful lot of words but once again you're missing the point. My original contention is with this: With a beginning player, if they just plop that bridge hand down on the shot/aim line and then fire away everything will be hunky dory. Guess what, it doesn't work that way. It's...

Go back to my post #6 and try once again to understand what I wrote. If you're unable to do that it's pointless to have a conversation. End of story. I talk to various people every day and never have any problem with them understanding, at least in general terms, what it is I'm trying to convey...
