I'm asking why, politely, why not use the player's bridge hand as an aiming aid, as you wrote? The cue stick sits atop it.

Thank you.

You are the first book reviewer I've met who posts five separate times to threaten me with a book review (and to assume what my book contains before actually reading a single page)! Which of course means you've lied again several more times on this thread, such as in your Post #23, "Don't worry...

So you admit you've lied about four times on this thread, by trimming my posts and claiming I wrote things I didn't? Thank you for admitting it.

Speaking as an instructor, practice some strengths to open a session and some weaknesses, too. End on a good note (a final shot where you make the ball and position well). What do you do before a marathon? Run a half-marathon? No, you carb up and stretch. Pool players who get nervous in 8-Ball...

I agree that continual learning is important for all players, and also makes for a passionate, worthwhile instructor. I did not say putting the bridge hand on the line is sufficient to pocket a ball. I did say if the groove is atop the shot line, the cue is of course atop the shot line as...

Do you have any response to my Post #19 or not, where I point out two of your lies? https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/bridge-hand-aiming.563698/post-7801066

I agree with what you wrote. Here are the steps, which agree with what you wrote (when showing a beginner how to align): 1) The bridge hand is several feet closer to the balls then the stroke hand for proprioceptive aiming, so learn to make a good bridge hand (the key is thumb and forefinger...

I appreciate having a straightforward PSR as you wrote. That's good. However, if only an inch of cue stick is perfectly atop the shot line, atop the thumb/forefinger channel, as in my photo above . . . of course, the entire cue stick is on the shot line. Stroke!

You are lying again. We both know I wrote in my Post #5: Plop down your hand bridge onto the shot and shoot without practice strokes. But anyone actually reading Post #5 sees you snipped the prior sentence: With beginners, I show how the thumb/forefinger channel makes a handy aim device for...

No, you are lying again as shown in my post #14 just above, for all to read. I didn't write "put the bridge hand on the shot line".

No, old chap. All want to see how you "debate" by twisting what others write, since I responded to your Post # 6 with my POST NUMBER 7: Your Post #6: Sorry but I've never heard the term "bridge aim" mentioned by you or anyone else. I'm sure I could have missed it so if you could provide links...

Help me, Dr. Zaius! Oh, oh, oh, Dr. Zaius!

Me too. I do like the super-sphere! Thanks for sharing!

I have three college degrees. Can I love Trump, and love science, but simply hate abortion, government spending, and over-regulation?

But you certainly were discussing aim with me, when you asked about what you called "bridge aim" above. Nor did I write about the whole bridge hand, but the groove or channel made by the thumb and forefinger. Your earlier post recognizes I'm right about aligning the cue stick, and goalpost...

I'm here to instruct others and also to learn, not to play semantics or lie--that's your bag. That's also a goalpost shift from you, to discuss scoring a shot, since we were discussing aim, and you objected to my mentioning hand bridge aim. Regardless, the entire cue stick is on the shot line...

Stop lying! It's what I'm asking of you, actually.

Two and then some--meaning one from total glaucoma, one from an eyeball lost in a work accident, and others with partial, not total, loss in an eye--in all cases their VC was still working for them afterward.

I used quotation marks for a reason, it was a paraphrase of what I've described and taught. With an open hand bridge, If the thumb and forefinger are pressed together, and that line (channel, groove) is atop the shot line, and the thumb is one side of the shotline, the forefinger on the other...
