    Bridge Pivot For BHE

    To impart BHE accurately I measured my pivot at 10 inches, while my average pivot is 8. What change in the cue would I need to consider, to cause the BHE pivot to go forward 2 inches ?

    The Man In The Arena T. Roosevelt It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and...

    When You Miss

    These are all great suggestions, and I'm reading every reply carefully. I have felt there has to be an easier way to deal with mistakes for a long time. I probably wish this would've been one of the first threads I started. Humiliation is a bitter pill to swallow !
