No, but it will perform better than it would have otherwise. It is relative to itself and your feeling toward it.

Humm; I would say this “feeling” would be different for different players but: This says to me that you are looking more for “what to focus on” than “what one should feel” those are different things (for me). It is good to keep exploring what it is that grounds you; be that focus, feeling or...

Always keep in mind that this is YOUR practice time and you can do whatever you want. Just off the top of my head I say try this: 1. You can play safeties and you are rewarded BIH if you successfully do not let the ghost “see” the OB. If he can; loss of game for you. 2. You can play 1 safe per...

Just because the runout % is higher doesn’t make it easier, jm2c.

No, one needs only a repeatable stroke to do this. You may say isn’t a repeatable stroke a good one? I say for that distance and a straight shot sure it’s great may not be for all shots though. Using a second ball, a stripe ball and overchalking your tip will give you much more info. Sort of...

There are many jump shots that are NOT “doable” with a shooting cue. For example a jump shot with draw. To date I have yet to see someone do this accurately; also look at how far the OB and the CB need to be to be to execute a shot with a playing cue. I think you are looking at the jump shot as...

It’s interesting that so many are wasting time with someone who thinks that something is best learned on their own rather than from somebody. If this were true we would have 1/1,000th of the schools we have. I run into this kind of nuttiness all the time, people think pool is different than...

1. A game 2. A sport 3. A skill 4. A science 5. An art 6. A social event on ____day(s) 7. A study Those are the ones that came off the top of my head, I could probably have 10 or 20 more if I really thought about it; and there are 1,000 reasons for each one of those categories as to why...

First off always keep in mind whatever works better for you is what you should be doing; just because it’s “non-standard” doesn’t make it wrong. If you watch the pro’s you will see some with a tighter grip but most with a very loose grip; because for most people as you tighten up your grip your...

I needed a new shaft; my original one had all kinds of chips around the joint end. I know a local dealer and he brought out an “I-2” and I had no idea what it was or that it was an LD shaft, he said this one is $130 and this one is $75. Man was I ever accurate with the $130 one it was the I-2...

True, almost every player thinks they know how to teach because they know how to play. The student has to make that determination. At any point in my program if the student decides they aren’t learning (or I do) I have a standing money back guarantee that I have never been asked to exercise or...

With all due respect I think you and I see things a little differently and that’s ok; I have read some of your other posts and I think you have lots of great stuff to say, however: I agree Well I would say it’s the other way around; but I get the gist of what you’re trying to say. I don’t...

The important thing to remember is the “on average” part of what I said. You have to have a big base to do a good comparison. The better a player you are the more stringent the test has to be (but if you are really good you don’t need to do this test, you know this already). There are a hundred...

I like to say it like this “If your inclination is to draw with ball in hand you’re probably doing something wrong”. The rule of thumb is there because it’s harder to place the CB where you want it. You can try this yourself; try to follow the CB 1ft, 2ft, 3ft 10 times each and then try and draw...

Don't need to move it; copy & paste it or retype, I would copy & paste.

Myrtle, you ask a question that would take pages to answer but here is the “skinny”. 1. Structure: My course is divided into 2 parts physics & mechanics and strategy & technique (btw to whoever says “those overlap and is redundant” “I say NS Sherlock”). It is farther divided into 6 “lessons”...

I feel the same way. Humm; I like one-pocket to but think about this. The jury is still out on this one; tournaments yes, gambling – not necessarily. Dr9ball mentioned Ralf & Thorsten I don’t know for sure if they “never” gambled but keep in mind that there are cultural differences. I agree...

:bow-down::rotflmao1::lol: :rotflmao::killingme::clapping: I love it!!! :lovies:

Sorry had to check 2 boxes.

There are stupid questions, but they should be asked because they are far easier to handle than most any other type of stupidity; especially stupid mistakes. This was said to me a long time ago by a man far smarter than I when I said “Doug this might be a dumb question but….”, I never forgot it.
