I really enjoyed Earl's commentary. I especially liked it when he would say "he played the wrong shot". When you watch a pool match, notice how long the one shooting, takes in setting up a difficult shot. When Earl is shooting, he takes hardly any time at all. He is an amazing talent and...

I have also used this type of a system to some success. Is it more reliable on closer shots CB to OB than distant shots? More apt to work within certain angles? etc etc. CJ mentioned in an earlier post that for a certain system that English uses, you would be more consistent and accurate if...

In trying to improve on my game, I have tried a lot of what is considered advanced stuff. I agree with your assessment that you need to learn to walk before you can run. I do believe that by trying different things like TOI, ProOne, and See System, even though you aren't proficient in them, it...

As usual Fran, you are correct. In my attempt to solve my many problems, I tend to forget some of the connecting parts. I do have too long a bridge. A number of people have commented on this and I have at times tried to shorten it. However, in trying to solve some of my other problems I tend...

Hi Scott, Thanks for the very lengthy and detailed reply. I can see from the video that your backswing is consistent irregardless of the speed. I thought I would throw the question out there in hopes that someone would clear it up for me. You have done that. Now, I can move on to feet and...

I have tried to incorporate some ideas from CJ Wiley. He recommends a hammer type of stroke. I had a habit of twisting my wrist and I found by cocking it forward it tends to lock your wrist and eliminate movement. I have gotten myself into a lot of trouble trying different things and doing...

I think a lot of my problems with my stroke stems from my back swing. There are a lot of times, where I try and hit the ball softer/not so hard, and still go too far on my position. I may have the mind set that I draw back the same distance and depending on how hard or soft I slow down my...

Today when I was practicing I thought I'd try a wing shot. Holding both balls in my left hand, I rolled one and dropped the other and fired. Would you believe I nailed it on my first attempt? I was shocked. I tried again 3 or 4 more times and didn't even come close to the pocket. Chalk it...

I use to play in a league where time outs for coaching was allowed. I use to see the Captain or the one designated as the coach jump up and holler "time out". Usually the person shooting, looked extremely annoyed. I think the way to handle this, is for the person doing the shooting, be the...

I had a Samsara break tip put on on my Predator break cue. Wasn't all that long before a piece flew off during a break. It was a piece of the laminate. Fortunately, after reshaping, there was enough left to still be able to use. Anyone else ever have this problem?

Dvd2 Stan, Will DVD2 explain CTE/Pro One so that people like me, who bought your first video, and cannot figure it out, be able to understand it? I haven't given up on it yet, but no matter how much I work with it there is something that I am missing and don't understand. Is there anyone...

CJ's videos, Zero X Kicking, and asking Fran Crimi for advice

Had a Belgian Shepard when I was a kid. They are a little smaller than the German. Was one smart dog.

I always thought they intercepted packages ahead of delivery and did whatever it is they do to check it out. I'm sure they probably are skilled in opening packages and with the help of the Post Office, UPS, repackaging and delivering as usual. If the package is coming from a "bad area", I...

Daz is a ball pocketing machine. You talk about cool, calm, and collected. I can't wait for the next match. Thanks Inside Pool. You guys are the best.

Balut Jay, If you want to fit in with the regulars you should try a balut. You can wash it down with a couple of San Miguel's. Was in Manilla and Subic Bay many many years ago. Many good times. Great country.

The honey badger is one bad animal. I saw a show where the badger took on a poisonous snake. The badger killed the snake but the venom got to the badger and knocked him out. Thought maybe the venom had taken it's toll. The badger did come to after awhile. When it did, he ate the snake...

This guy is really good. Anyone have any info on him? Never heard of him until just recently. Thanks for the video.

I definitely would buy one of Efren's cues. I think there is something special that he rubs onto his cue like a magical potion so that it never misses. Once that potion gets into the grain of the wood it should stay there. I would expect my ball pocketing skill to go through the roof. I...

Thanks for the heads up. I usually record and watch when I have time. I didn't know that this was on. Very appreciative!
