    thank you to CJ Wiley for teaching, learning, growing and sharing!

    Aloha to you also old self -righteousness one according to ONB. And how about that Neil fellow and his badge of honor crap? I don't see where we put CJ on a pedestal, we were just stating our opinions. You can see we don't have a right to our opinions because we are now attacked. I don't...

    thank you to CJ Wiley for teaching, learning, growing and sharing!

    I will just say this one more time. I am someone who has learned from CJ's videos, posts, and replies to my questions. Some have a problem with his posts. That's OK, you are entitled to your opinion. My point is I have learned absolutely nothing from you that continue to bash him. If you...

    thank you to CJ Wiley for teaching, learning, growing and sharing!

    CJ, First time I've disagreed with something you have said. Veterans, like myself, wear a veteran's hat because they are damn proud of their service and their country. Yes, I am old, 72, but don't consider myself as "silly". If you would have left out the "silly" part, I wouldn't have had a...

    Straight In Shots

    Many years ago I was stopped at an intersection. I looked to my right and then to my left. I didn't see a car so I started forward. Something told me to hit the brake because i saw something. You should of seen the dirty look I got from a guy on a motorcycle. From that incident, I gather...

    Rail or Jacked Up

    Miscues I have found myself miscueing off the rail because I am trying to keep the cue level. Scott Lee, in an earlier post, said to elevate to the bevel of the angle of the cushion. I have had some success with the advice given so far. Like anything else, you need to keep practicing, when...

    Rail or Jacked Up

    Mike, I had a chance to practice a little today. I could clearly see a difference in paying more attention to my PSR. I think a lot of my problem was not staying on the shot line. When raising up, I was moving off line. I feel I am on the right track, given the advice I have received. I...

    The Touch Of Inside - How to Experience the Aiming Aspect?

    The only thing that sounds silly to me is using the cue for a tomato stake. You probably could have gotten your money back by posting on Ebay or The For Sale forum here. Seriously, you've got me by 3 years. I'd give anything to have 20/20 again.

    Rail or Jacked Up

    Thanks I want to thank everyone for the tips/advice. I had a chance last night prior to my match to practice a little. I can see the difference shortening up on my back stroke. In trying to keep the cue level I did miscue a couple of times. I shot a number of balls straight into the corner...

    Rail or Jacked Up

    I would appreciate any comments, tips, or advice in shooting from the rail and also shots where you have to jack up. I know when you jack up you have to hit dead center so as not to spin the ball. I seem to have a problem either finding the center or hitting accurately because most of the time...

    Stance back foot

    Made me think of my deer hunting days. I use to tie a piece of black twine to the front of my rifle. I could always tell which way the wind was blowing.

    The Beard in the Chicago Reader

    If you want to learn to bank, I recommend you get a copy of both of Freddy's books. I sure learned a lot, also from his DVD. Really enjoyed the article. Next time I take a trip, I'm going to pack a length of rope in my suit case. Thanks Freddy

    Should I first learn to jump or kick?

    Thought I'd throw my two cents in. I'm someone who misses a lot of kicks. There is some good instructional material available on kicking and jumping. I have made a lot of improvement in my game by learning systems on kicking. Long way to go. I recently have just started jumping. My thought...

    Cue & Case Gallery Forum Help...NOT

    I'm still a good 3 weeks away from being able to put any tomato plants in. Bad winter and a lousy Spring so far. Sure hope we have a good growing season. Oh well, it's up to Mother Nature. Sorry about your bad experience on the cue. There are a lot of great people on these Forums that are...

    TOI Discussion Forum?

    Yes it is very interesting how one thinks, however, I don't find you interesting at all. I have Mark Wilson's book and go to Dr. Dave's and others web sites to try and pick up bits of info to further my game. Because I say CJ has helped me, you choose to attack. If you offered up anything...

    TOI Discussion Forum?

    I agree. You would think, if one is to judge another, then they would have something to offer to prove their point. I personally have learned from CJ and he has helped my game immensely. I can honestly say I have learned nothing from Neil except for negativity, which is not an asset to one's...

    90-90

    How did you order? All we seem to have is an email address or a telephone number. Did you email or call? If so, I would assume that he told you what to do. Please share, some are interested in ordering, just don't know how.

    Okay who oredered a Balance Rite Extension in the past few days

    I thought that the pros were leaving them on. I was thinking about buying one cause I could use a longer cue at 6' 2". The only negative I see, as long as the balance and feel are OK, is the looks of it and how it will detract from your nice looking cue. If they are meant to only use when an...

    Special Thanks to TAR & Straight Shots for Free NV Classic Stream

    i watched most of the matches yesterday. Congrats to Nick Varner! No doubt, if he played more, he would be a force to be reckonned with. Mika, when he is on, is unbeatable. He sure can make it look easy. My heart goes out to Bautista, I bet a lot of us can relate to that miss. Justin did a...
