    Do you use an aiming system or go by feel?

    Poor English! finally has to settle for second place in a posting competition. He must be beside himself, but now that Barton's out he can post all night and maybe catch back up, so all is not lost yet. As of now you are only in fourth place, Pat, with a measly 72 posts in a single thread...

    Do you use an aiming system or go by feel?

    You bet I did! That car seemed to have a mind of its own in the beginning. Dad taught me his system of looking way ahead and watching the space between the right front fender and the white line (alignment line?) along the shoulder and try to keep that space the same all the time. Still it was...

    Do you use an aiming system or go by feel?

    Baseball pitching requires much less precision than cues sports do. Pitchers rely on speed, spin (or no spin in some cases), and pitch choice to fool batters into missing, or make them pop/ground out. They are always facing a third dimension, provided by gravity as the ball begins dropping the...

    Do you use an aiming system or go by feel?

    I used a system when I learned to drive. It was the same system used by my dad. - Put your right foot on the brake and push the clutch pedal in with your left foot - Put the gear shift lever into neutral - Put the key in the ignition and turn it away from you until the car starts - Push...

    Do you use an aiming system or go by feel?

    Well, that is how you acquire visual intelligence using any method, isn't it? Though hundreds of hours of focused practice? No one said this is a turnkey method, you still have to get it burned into your subconscious if you ever hope to use this method in actual play. Ghost ball or any other...

    Bad Problem with John Showman, (Cue Stolen)

    With that request, I'll gladly back out of here. I'll be happy to read that this matter got resolved to your liking, if that indeed comes to pass.

    Bad Problem with John Showman, (Cue Stolen)

    Again, it's perfectly fine for the man to request his cue back, it's not at all OK to use threats of retaliation to strong arm the guy into doing so. This is clearly a case of a guy being 100% in the right and yet handling it wrong. It's also not OK to call the guy a thief and a pathological...

    Bad Problem with John Showman, (Cue Stolen)

    This is about the funniest thing I ever heard come from a lawyer, and I've heard a lot. Using a law dictionary definition of a legal term hardly constitutes the letter of the law in practice, and you know that. These things are defined in court, and differ depending upon the jurisdiction in...

    Bad Problem with John Showman, (Cue Stolen)

    I agree. In over 30 years in the musical instrument repair business, I never once took a penny of deposit money. I have had a few instruments for a very long time after I thought they'd be finished, but the customer was always able to get their instrument back as long as I hadn't started the...

    Do you use an aiming system or go by feel?

    A great bit of advise. However, which comes first? Stevie Moore has said that Pro One has given him so much more faith in his aiming that his stroke improved in the process. On a TAR podcast, Archer and SVB both said Moore's game has improved greatly since starting to use Pro One. If it's...

    Yes, that's the way it should have been handled in the first place.

    Bad Problem with John Showman, (Cue Stolen)

    Again, it is appropriate to call the police, but not to threaten with such action. The threat part is the crime of extortion, not the actual call to the cops. Early in this interchange the OP used the threat of exposure as a way to get Mr. Showman to comply. This is also extortion... a crime

    Bad Problem with John Showman, (Cue Stolen)

    Because doing so is extortion by definition, and that is a crime in any jurisdiction. And I have had it happen to me. I did make a threat to go to the police, and soon received a call from a friend of that person that this was extortion on my part. Thankfully, my threat was a phone call and...

    Bad Problem with John Showman, (Cue Stolen)

    So, you're a lawyer, but you feel it's OK to continually extort John into complying with your demands? Extortion is a crime, and you should know it. The fact that you have previously done it (via e-mail) and continue to do it on the Internet makes it a federal crime. Let's see who ends up in...

    Hey, I got a lot out of what CJ said here that others dismissed out of hand because of all his mysticism crap. I'm into a lot of that shit myself and have been since I was a youngster, so I feel I'm somewhat of a kindred spirit in that regard. It's just that he always wanted to play the part...

    Have you checked out his latest DVD? 3 discs, 5 hours of high-quality instruction primarily about CB control. $40. He has a whole hour preview of it on You Tube. I bought it a month ago and still haven't made it past the second disc, there's that much good info on them. Meanwhile, I put...

    So what? Angelo Dundee never fought in his life, but he trained 15 world champions, including the greatest of all time. Real world champions. Nobody ever said CJ can't play, just that he can't transmit his knowledge. Tor does it like few others, and without the swords, shot puts, lousy martial...

    The Master Hustler ain't robbing too many. Tor Lowry has over 4 million views on his YT channel vs. CJ's 185K, and he has 22,796 subscribers vs. CJ's 780. CJ sure beats him in posts on AZB, though. CJ has over 11,000, Tor... a mere 7. Maybe less is really more after all. :cool:

    Do you use an aiming system or go by feel?

    A small minority of people involved in any human endeavor might appear to be a cult to outsiders. That doesn't make them lunatics, though. ;) I suggest you ignore the outsiders and go with what you think will help you achieve your personal goals. Each aiming system has something unique to...
