GPS is making us idiots, too.

Not to be a nit, but I think you mean "prescribed." Ironically, using "proscribed" would have the opposite effect.

From my perspective, your question could have been taken as a challenge. Sometimes writing is hard to interpret and some of us have been challenging him. If he knew you better he might not think as such. You are usually a fuzz ball.:)

Referring to the bold items -- You say you are not aiming in part 2. I think you said you are aiming at a spot on the rail or something like that. This is the crux of my confusion. I thought you were aiming at the circle on the AimRight and this would eliminate the aim variable as long as...

Can someone fill me in on what the girl/mother did wrong? Did one of them go off on the guy sometime after the match? Got it. Thanks! I did miss that part, although wishing the guy's tip falls off is kinda funny.

Great post!

Well, if it works for you then do it. I still don't understand the benefit of the precise set up. You are not eliminating any variables so I'm not sure what the point is.

I haven't posted about or even thought about Stan in many months. I'll admit I don't know the history of your interaction with digiball. It just struck me that you've basically been scolding me for years about showing, scientifically, that Stan's claims are untrue and then here you seemed to...

I have to say I'm rather shocked at your indignation toward the digiball(?) gizmo. It seems like a legit device. Stan has been peddling verifiable bullshit aiming methods for 20 years and you've never once called him out on it. I know you are a very smart guy so it never made sense to me.

I think this is a bad comparison. Shooting stretched out and touching nearby balls makes the shot easier, and one he might not take at all knowing he better not touch any balls. . In this case, the foul of not calling the combo had no impact on the difficulty of the shot. I think both things...

But to be clear you said the AimRight has nothing to do with your recent improvement, right?

didn't notice that!

Cool. Thanks for the info!

No. I have a pretty good idea but I don't trust my limited cue knowledge. I'm always on the hunt for old titlists but don't know much about old full spliced house cues.

I've learned you just have to let these things go eventually. He stepped in it, maybe didn't really understand what he was saying or the audience he was saying it to and isn't man enough to own up. It goes into the database that creates a reputation, good, bad or mixed.

Well good luck. If something works keep doing it!

What you are saying is that step 1 is to practice really hard on getting a straight stroke. Then step 2 is pocketing balls with that straight stroke. How do you know you are doing the same stroke in step 2 as you are in step 1? You said yourself that cutting balls is different from full shots...

You are right that shooting at angles introduces other issues compared to shooting straight down and back. The down and back is just one drill and, frankly, not one I've done all that much. You can put an ob in the center of the table and that is a 1/2 hit to the left and right corner. You...
