"kah-PEE-che" = Italian Hey, you! CAP-eesh?! -- The Sopranos

I hear you, although my methods are pleasing to those who actually use them. Again, I posted on this thread a non-swoop BHE method, too. And I'm happy to give student references.

You are correct. Capiche is American slang as an exclamation, but since it was used by Italian Americans, too . . . at least in movies . . .

I teach pressing downward on the rail firmly for those shots where you hand bridge along the rail. Helps make the stance near-identical to the stance used for non-rail shots, and helps immobilize the body during the stroke. However, we want people's bodies to feel good after play, and pressing...

Yes, we relieve the pressure (as you know) using other body weight through the arm, and by not adding any conscious pressure on most shots (hand on cloth, not rail).

Thanks for your honest feedback, I mean that. I do have pro friends who shoot BHE for english almost every time they use english. We can discuss whether that was a help or hindrance, and I do acknowledge that logically a straight stroke is easier to teach and understand. My swoop journey really...

Happy to explain, again. I've posted videos, when I do, the armchair warriors throw shade. A Zoom, live, with moderators, will ensure clarity. I've offered for you to be a moderator, and . . . quelle surprise . . . you are throwing shade, based on your psychic perceptions of how it goes at...

Yes. Thanks for your thoughtful post. It may help in aligning on center CB to triangulate the CB’s absolute bottom, its center of mass (“peach pit”) and the “apparent” CB’s absolute top (the apparent top can move in perception in the full stance as described), otherwise, many students swear...

Your math is less than your english, since you think 2 - 478,000 plus there are multiple people disagreeing on this thread!

Downward pressure from the bridge hand helps on rail shots. But that pressure comes from the rest of the body through the hand, to avoid stressing the shoulder, of course.

Everyone at AZ gets at least one free lesson, you get two.

100%! You can also shoot some on the video, for giggles.

And yet, you refuse to acknowledge that PJ's unwillingness to make a video certifies his shallow skills.

You're barely an english user. If you ask me, I won't do it. Capiche? (That last isn't English.)

The reason why pros sight from the contact point on a difficult shot then walk around to the shooting position is . . . ? Answer: The problem is not "to a minimal degree". You waste energy backpedaling on your false theory, just so you can throw more shade.

I'm sorry, but respectfully, 1 through 5. Happy to give you a lesson to go over the details. My five might be for a beginner (okay full disclosure, this was a beginner's lesson yesterday): 1) Let's vary your stroke, so that you slow as you come toward the end of the backstroke and move slowly...

The OB changes in perception as we move from standing erect to the pool stance as outlined above. You are handwaving at an actual problem: "Either way it's not a problem worth worrying about." Having trouble discerning an aim target on the OB is a huge problem as described by struggling...

I agree. You are grasping at straws. Speaking of logic and clarity, I've redacted your comments to: "No. I asked for a link to see you perhaps display more logic and clearer comprehension that you do at AZ. I realize I'm grasping at straws, but I'm a nice person and so would like to see you...

I will do a video with and only with a naysayer, preferrably a Zoom with me and PJ and trusted moderators.

Kranicki commented on this issue in his book, which book he wrote with the aid of Willie Mosconi. Mosconi agreed with Kranicki that his work could assist people with aim. I hope you are working to give sincere advice rather than backpedaling because when I say white, you say black, reflexively.
