Thanks, buddy. Fortunately, I've been playing a little better than I was when you were here last month. I was on the verge of another indefinite lay-off just a few short weeks ago! haha

Thanks guys. Well, vagabond, I sort of play straight-pool. I mean, I play a game that resembles straight-pool at times. ;)

I know you're not talking about Dennis.

I chose swerve because I like to get my swerve on. :thumbup:

I'm having deja-vu all over again.

Are you playing in the straight-pool tournament that's coming up down there (the Lucasi Hybrid Classic)?

You basically just hit the object ball with the equal (but opposite) part of the cue ball. For example, if you're hitting 1/8th of the object ball on the left-hand side, then you would aim to hit it with 1/8th of the cue ball on the right-hand side. I can't diagram it. I'm Wei illiterate. I...

I don't think any one person can take credit for this system. I actually thought of it myself when I was practicing once, so I asked someone else if they ever tried this and, as soon as I said it, they responded with, "oh yeah, it's called 'equal parts'", or something like that. Since then...

Similar to how the government is doing a good job of keeping Bigfoot a secret, I'm sure. ;)

Your level of expertise on every subject never ceases to amaze me. I am unable to offer a rebuttal. And yet I will! :D I am unable to believe that ALL of the great pool players out there would be so disciplined in their sworn oath to secrecy, that not one would have come out and given credit...

It just seems that if these systems were so accurate, MANY top players would be using them, and openly talking about them. To believe anything different is to believe that there is some conspiracy among the top players, and they're all in on it and disciplined enough to keep the secret, to keep...

You're supposed to get up off the seat when it gets bumpy! ;) One of the guys that I have ridden with a few times never gets out of his seat. He's a big guy, and aptly nicknamed "Bender", for the "bending damage" that he inflicts on his bikes (and, yeah, he crashes a lot). Anyway, the guy...

Where is that information?

Thanks for the reply. In the case of Efren, he's been doing that forever, as far as I know, so it's doubtful that he learned it from Hal. I guess some people may have learned a system from someone who learned it from a guy who learned it [and so on] from Hal so, indirectly, he may owe some...

Mapquest says 73.26 miles from the hotel. No problem! :)

I'm not being sarcastic when I ask this. I am genuinely curious. Are there any professional players who use Hal's systems and who would openly give credit to Hal for teaching them how to aim?

Thanks again everyone. I just found out there's even a consolation prize if I don't do well in the tournament: http://www.ridediablo.com/! :thumbup:

5 3/4 days left!! ;)

You guys really should get it together and play a Harriman vs. Schmidt Part III. I know you are wanting to play 1-pocket only, Danny, but each of you have won one set of each game played. Your performance in the last 14.1 match was great (for those of you who aren't aware, Danny had 3 runs of...

Yeah, he'll tell you to "shove that cue ball right up" ... oh, wait. Never mind. That's someone else.
