Very sad news. I've known Ray since way before Azbilliards and since way before the internet. Ray was a really good, honest, caring man with a heart of gold - and that was reflected in the words that he shared with all of us here. He was just as nice to talk to and to visit with in person - I...

I have quite a few videos/drills about clusters on youtube - some are public - some are not - if you need anything about specific cluster situations, please get with me privately. 14.1: Cluster Drills

This video is from a couple of years ago at SBE - :smile: Shane Van Boening ~ 115 Ball Run ~ 2012 Fury 14.1 Challenge @ SDE

When it comes to practice ... quality of time is more important than quantity of time. ;)

Marpo ... he's too good.

Here is a beautiful cue that was made for me by Chuck Thomas of Thomas Custom Cues (El Paso, Texas) - Thomas Cues Solid maple shafts - ebony forearm with turquois points - silver rings - and turquois diamonds in the butt design. Chuck makes a very nice hitting cue at good price.

This one is perfect. Barney en Espanol

I'm cross-eye dominant. Personally, I believe that stuff like that is only an issue if you are consciously aware of it and go out of your way to make it an issue. In fact, I never knew I was cross-eye dominant until JoeyA mentioned it to me about 3 years ago. Prior to that, I had 40 some-odd...

What Neil said - but I will add - there is a difference between a hit - and a stroke. A hit is what a baseball bat does to a baseball - A stroke is what a bow does to a violin - Now go back and watch the video and see which one you did. You tend to "pound" the balls into the pocket - this...

Mark - Give me a call - I can point you towards several sources. I'll PM you my number.

My picks are a little different - and I like certain people for different reasons. My favorites are Danny Diliberto - Weenie-Beanie - Grady Mathews, and of course Billy Incardona! My favorite person to listen to is Big Truck. He just has a great voice and a great passion for the game of pool...

I agree, Scott! Bob Rotella is awesome! For the record, Ken already has this book (he bought it at my insistence) - I was just being a smart a$$ by digging up this old thread. :D

:grin: Get yourself a copy of Dr. Bob Rotella's book - Golf is Not A Game of Perfect - there's a lot of great stuff in there - I think that you will get a lot out of it. :smile:

Only one name comes to my mind ... Jeff Carter. Kim Davenport Vs Jeff Carter 1994 PBT Tour Championship

What Randy said. If you do something incorrectly 2000 times, then you are just reinforcing incorrectness.

Well, Grady himself rated my 1 pocket prowess as "lingering somewhere between complete ignorance and total incompetence" ... so with that input ... I think I'll stick to teaching 14.1 ... :wink:

To me, the problem seems to be that no matter how refined a player's mechanics may be - they will have nothing but problems if they are CONSCIOUSLY trying to employ them. JMO.

Personally, I'd rather get things the old fashioned way - by buying them with my own money. I'd also rather be right because I did the right thing - not because I could rationalize or justify a technicality or loophole in the rules. Some may not agree with that - or- they'll find some other...
