You asked to read the content I've posted on atheist forums. Much of it goes like this: No one is perfect except Jesus. The bad news is imperfect people cannot exist in a utopia, so neither of us can go to Heaven. The good news is Jesus Christ loves us, died a horrible death by torture on the...

Thanks for asking, I can save you much time here: No one is perfect except Jesus. The bad news is imperfect people cannot exist in a utopia, so neither of us can go to Heaven. The good news is Jesus Christ loves us, died a horrible death by torture on the cross then rose, to perfect us. Trust...

Hey, PJ, my first name ain't "Baby," it's Janet--Miss Jackson if you're nasty!

My dear chap, you are your own warning. I try to see you as a potential child of God, but you are one of the nastiest people I've encountered--and you're talking to someone who shares Jesus Christ with hardened atheists and etc. often! Is there a pill or something you can take to become a nice...

Rather than consider my credentials as an instructor, perhaps think of me as an extremely well paid coach. I have no quarrel with you, but I'd love to coach you in how to have a meaningful discussion while being a nice person.

Only, where are the sycophants on this thread? Joker on the mountain, neither king nor ace.

I've been more than polite, factual, and patient. I've noticed when people are losing debates, they tend to twist others' words and make personal attacks. You lost this debate nearly before it began. And since you twist words on this forum, I'd gladly describe clearly squirt/swerve corrections...

I hear you, but even faster IMHO is "Hit that spot . . . too thick or too thin? . . . Shoot it again . . . " But I like your methods including reasonable fraction lines. I don't know anyone who can clearly see 1/32 of a ball's width and so on.

Since I'm willing to do a video, you're unwilling, how does my insisting you put up or shut up show my lack of anything? I've been honest, factual, and more than patient. So let's be clear, rather than my repeated offer: Have a referree or us choose some shots with english, with varying...

A ball’s equator tends to be lower than perception tells you in the full stance and tends to bend into a “smiley face” shape (see below), so the contact point needs adjustment, otherwise one can cut too thickly:

"Aiming by Instinct". But you must add something for extra-challenging shots, like walking behind the OB to mark the spot with the cue tip et al, that's why aim "systems" are taught.

I appreciate you trying, though. I'm not sure I understand why some players, free to reject alternative cueing techniques, won't rest until no one else feels safe trying them either!

Hi BD, Are you sure everyone should ignore me, or someone else, perhaps?

I'd love to discuss the particulars with you, but you are firmly closed to alternatives. What I do is sometimes offer alternative methods to students who've struggled with mastery in an area, in some cases, for decades.

Not logical of you: "Matt wants to make a video with both of us playing because this video will show Matt's lack of knowledge and skills." So let's get to why you won't post videos of your play.

PJ, I think you're right. No one can ever learn anything from a video, truly that is so. I almost never harp on videos. I know why Spidey does so.

Uh-huh, there's nothing to add regarding your cue's pivot point, your bridge length, etc. And you use your personal playing cue, so you know the parameters and are dialed in. No "also" needed. That's why you always execute shots with english perfectly, running nearly every table in a single...

If a traditional fundamental slows a player down, a good teacher either helps them over the hump or gives them an alternative. I sometimes do one, sometimes the other. We had someone on this thread say "Only 1 of 4 pool pros I know uses this!" which means 25% of the pros they know, 25% is a LOT...

Yet a top player who uses it frequently has no exceptional use for traditional english. It's like saying a top 9-Ball breaker who snaps his wrist has no use for a hung wrist with gravity, and vice versa for someone who doesn't snap his wrist to snap a break. Please, everyone, just let players...

No, my facts are correct. One strokes diagonally to the shot line to use traditional english, as opposed to what the reader posted about stroking on the center CB shot line. One must also adjust aim so that deflection and curve are accounted for, as opposed to using center CB. Speaking of...
