Do you think such a player should be introduced to the fixed elbow method as an option for them to try or would you only do that as a last resort?

To answer both questions, I think I must have some lateral movement going on while dropping the elbow, or maybe the dropping elbow caused my hand to react a certain way to throw the cue off line. It could be anything. The more I started paying attention to pro players the more I saw the fixed...

I had what Mark Wilson called a total collapse of the elbow when I shot. I think learning the fixed elbow was the single best thing I have done in 20 years to improve my game. It is not easy to do and not easy to ingrain because, IMO, it is not a natural movement. We always think natural...

I think the aprons the old timers used to keep chalk off their pants is pretty much a relic by now.

It's the real deal. I Wish I had some structure to fall back on decades ago when I was learning.

There's always the shotgun.

Well I guess neither of us saw him in his prime so who knows. I think maybe I reacted to the word "crooked." I don't think that is the best word for what he is doing.

I've never heard anyone say Mosconi had a crooked stroke before. When he was in his later years he developed a kind of body language that caused the tip to veer at the end of the follow through. Maybe that's what you are referring to.

I wonder if they allow jump shots.

Have you tried contacting Sigel?

There have been many books and internet articles etc. written about position play so I'm not sure what you mean. If you develop something useful that hasn't been done then great.

If your goal is to improve pattern play then the information on strategy is out there. You just have to spend time learning and trying. If, on the other hand, your goal is simply to see if a computer can calculate the best runout patterns then I'm sure something could be done. Maybe the...

Sometimes you have interesting ideas but it's not clear if this is one of them. You might have to provide an example of what you are after.

One is way more than needed.

I initially thought about the pocket being a larger percentage of the rail but I'm not so sure that is the answer. If you were randomly hitting balls against that rail, then yes. In your example shooting the 8, the pocket is now where the rail is on the 9 foot table. I'm thinking your muscle...

The anode for the AZ forums is the Aiming (CTE) forum. I think it is comprised 100% of fool's gold.

I realize you are right. 19 years is just the time I've had it, not counting the ? years before that. I've thought about replacing it but then other things come up, of course. Maybe I'll take this opportunity to do something about it. Thanks. This one is in a business with tile floor and a...

When I was renovating a store 19 years ago the plumber doing a lot of work suggested I consider replacing the water heater as it had already been there awhile and looked like it might go. That was 19 years ago. :unsure: Sadly, the water heater outlasted the plumber, RIP.
