I personally wouldn’t coddle him; next time I beat him and he got sore I would just say “you know for as much as you know and as great a player as you are I have noticed you whine when the balls don’t roll your way; did you always do that?” I like to be straight up with people and tell them how...

I have no maker preference only condition.:smile:

Thanks Scott I would love to take some instruction by a certified instructor and get some papers it's just a time/$ ratio kind of thing; I just have too much to do :smile:.

:rotflmao1::rotflmao1: That is too funny, yea I look at this (just like you do) with the biggest of the :shrug::scratchhead: I can. I have never not understood a post so completely. I literally do not understand it at all.

I don't think there is such a thing as a "1" and I am not trying to be "smug", "smarta$$ed" or the like but you can help her best by telling her to study the free instructional material online or send her to an instructor.

I must be missing something; the poll makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. Do I like to see safety battles? Yes. Do I like to watch them B & R? Yes. Do I like to see “great shots?” sure and not just by great players, I like to see anyone do those. Do I like to see the “offensive” play the...

http://billiards.colostate.edu/ http://thedrillinstructor.us/videos.php The sample drills are good Don’t have a “hands off” policy/outlook about coming up with your own drills to fix your own problems. How do you think the “stock” drills like the “L” drill & the “semicircle” drill were come up...

My name is John Fischer, I hold no certifications, no “papers” and NO “qualifications of any kind. I have taught many people how to play over many years. The people that I have taught and am teaching now will attest to how much I have improved their game. I started teaching the game to further...

This is a great statement and probably the most humorous and instructive as well (unless he’s serious, and I highly doubt that) my answer :rotflmao1: I don’t This implies (or actually to me states pretty clearly) that whenever a foul occurs a penalty is assessed, we all know that’s absurd...

You’re welcome I find these useful when anyone says “focus problem” I said 25 times to put out the suggestion to do some memorizing. Our subconscious is a tough thing to get through to. Thank you, great news!

That’s how you see it, and I respect that; no problem. But I see it this way; a foul has occurred, however; the criteria to confirm that a foul has occurred and a penalty assessed has not been met therefore it is exactly the same result as if “it was not a foul” however I prefer to make that...

Ok I was missing something, sorry. Folks have given you some ways that might fix whatever is wrong but my guess is you need a video of yourself to see what the problem is. Good luck with this one; I will be interested in how it gets solved; nice post BTW and interesting problem to.

What in good googly goo does this have to do with this topic or pool in any way shape or form? I know you’re angry about what someone said about a Republican; however his post was relevant to the topic and yours isn’t in any way. Just to let you know WE HATE THAT, Lib/Conser alike.

Don’t see where the “problem” is, I have seen this a bunch over the years (if we are talking about the same thing). The only really odd ball in this respect was a local money player. He held the cue like a spear and just popped those long ones in it was pretty strange. If you view it as a...

This is one of the big reasons that there is such controversy, most people know that a “call” cannot alter a physical reality; it is either touching the rail or it isn’t. Most people say/think “ok this rule says that if nobody says it’s touching the rail it’s not, pft.” To most people; and...

I would inform him that when being tailgated that I slowly ease off the gas; but that’s just how I approach life, and just chuckle and continue to play. Don’t get bent out of shape use this to your advantage it is a weakness of his that he has told you about, why not use it?

So I have some excellent suggestions; don’t buy, borrow or steal a cue with a linen wrap, and if you win one sell it or give it to someone you like that likes linen wraps. Do not tell people that their cue that costs several thousand dollars looks like a cheap piece of crap; especially if they...

Has anyone else noticed that the people that are rude & hostile are the people that are saying “I voted yes there is nothing wrong with this play.”? I think the 2 camps are not actually warring over the same thing. My personal feeling is that the ones who voted no are the deeper thinkers. The...

I have not found this to be true I agree and this doesn’t happen out of thin air (for most), most people have to be taught this and then force themselves to do this stuff on every shot. I don’t think anyone here is foolish enough to believe that there is some “magical number of warm-up...

No I just understand interpersonal communication and relationships on a deeper level than you do.
