    This is one of the best posts I have read on here. Great points all around in my opinion.

    Hustlers Season 2

    Why in the wrd would you say that. If you don't like it, just don't watch. The show has potential to give pool more exposure, and many people on here do like it. I think you have to be really pessimistic to hope something like this fails.

    Gradual Acceleration

    I don't think you are purposely slowing it down, but instead accelerating from the pause to finish more smoothly, instead of getting the cue to top speed with a quick, violent move immediately from the pause.

    Gradual Acceleration

    This, like everything else can be somewhat individual. If you already have a nice, smooth transition, then you obviously don't need to change that. However, for many players, that is not the case!! I personally believe that this piece of advise is one of the main areas that I would teach to...

    Most reliable AZ Patrons

    This thread has been really interesting. Some of the names on here are people I almost put on ignore, and some I completely agree with. Its always interesting to see just how different our views can be. I guess its part of what make life interesting.

    Most reliable AZ Patrons

    After reading a thread on here that turned into a mudslinging contest that lacked much legitimate knowledge, I realized that there were people on here whose posts I almost never like to read, but that there are also those whose posts are filled with positive, insightful info that is always...

    Gradual Acceleration

    I couldn't agree more with this post. I think this is one one of the main areas of stroke fault in my game. If I can keep my transition calm with a gradual acceleration to the ball, my cuein and action are greatly improved. Otherwise, I end up gripping too hard causing a slight movement to...

    I was called a "CHEATING JERK"

    How is asking someone if there is any room to play with in their price "playing" someone. That is common practice in a deal like this. Don't post something if you aren't willing to sell it. It certainly is not illegal to retract a price, but it is a Jerk move if you left it out there to be seen.

    Do you use an aiming system or go by feel?

    The geometry of the table has nothing to do with where the cue ball will go after the shot. Only the natural tangent line created by the shot (plus any spin added) will determine where the CB goes regardless of how one got into that shot line.

    CTE for Top USA pros

    I think some of the point is that pro players have an excellent ability to tell what is going on when they are at the table. Thus, if one says that the system itself gets them in-line with the shot objectively, then we will be more prone to believe that the system itself actually works. Stan...

    Do you use an aiming system or go by feel?

    Wow!!! I don't come on here for a few days and we are already at 50 pages. I just don't get it. The same people continue to argue the same ideas on both sides, when all that was really asked by the OP was whether or not aiming systems are worth pursuing. To those who continue to discuss...

    Do you use an aiming system or go by feel?

    After using CTE for the past few years, I can confidently say that the above statement is incorrect, at least the part suggesting that an aiming system is nothing but subconscious adjustments. When I first started using it, I wasn't sure why I was making more balls given the many ideas put out...

    Do you use an aiming system or go by feel?

    Oh boy, this type of question always recharges a heated debate that goes on and on. That being said, I will start by telling you that there probably is not one correct answer that is true for every person. People have different strengths in their approach and even have differences in their...

    Aiming for pro within 5 years. Realistic?

    I don't think you can know in only 3 months if you have that kind of talent. That being said, I wish you the best in your quest.
