I never did learn to surf or skate board. I tried. 🤷‍♂️ The water in Crescent City was just too damn cold. And state boards needed pavement. 🤷‍♂️ 😉 Hand and eye can be improved. Good coaching sure helps. Study as well. The current snooker finals is of great value if trying to get better ...

If you blink. Triggers my favorite true story. Wink. At 8, I was in training as our team had The best catcher in the league. He sprained his glove thumb and I was called to duty. The chest protector drug the ground and the umpire often grabbed the back strap to pull my small ass back. 🤷‍♂️...

Disability vs Inability: 🤔 I practiced juggling while sitting the bench at Little League all star game. I didn't have the natural but I had good coaching. My first coaching was Marine Corp. It all starts with attitude. Hence my apprentices ass says mint of "Tiger on the front and Rabit on...

If I remember, the nature vs nurture debate always got participation. Hand and eye coordination comes more easily for some. The practice practice practice adds such a fine edge when starting with natural ability. Didn't Efren sleep on or under the table when starting out? That along with...

My method has me holding the cue at the balance point and using the length of the cue to gage where I stand. Standing square to the shot with my belly button on the aiming line,. It's then a one two dance step with the rear foot back just a little and the front foot forward.

There was a time that I would leave my chalk on the rail. My method was to place it on the rail as a landmark. Using it to mark where I wanted whitey to go. My excuse was, well that's where I will need it next. A pro player saw what I was doing and pointed out that it was marking the table...

Different games get a different speed. Playing eight ball or one pocket, I want the object ball close to the pocket if it's missed. Playing 9 ball or rotation, I want a missed ball to end up away from the pocket that it was intended for. There are occasions that, "hit 'em hard and wish them...

The difference is the frequency. 98 out of a hundred still gets the medal.

I always enjoyed playing people that loved to spin their rock. Of course a touch of isn't spin to the rock its just a flavoring. So with a 1 mm center line and a 3 mm chalk mark. Center ball is simple stuff. Doing simple stuff well leads to a game that is Stealth. Well straight pool is a game of...

Looking at the reflection in the cueball, pick a feature in the reflection to strike and drive through center ball. Once that's mastered move on to variations of off center strikes.

Well I still haven't read all the discuss I think in snooker they call it a stun run through. I hit or aim to hit dead center for the short follow. Through practice I have developed a feel for where and how hard to strike the white. Watching the interaction of the tip with the white gives data.

Huh? Well I gotta stop and reset. No comprend A. It seems illogical. I admit to reading no further, as I am aghast.

"I can identify with that." Well those words were mine a long time ago, when Dan Louie confess to nervous miss against Earl the Pearl at hill/hill. It applies here as well. Public Speaking was a high school class that helped with the nerves a country boy could feel on the Big Stage. The quick...

You might even develop a trick shot or 2 that you can show off. 🤷‍♂️

I was prescribed pain killers when launched from my motorcycle. I quit taking them the second day. I wanted to know what was going on, so when it hurt I could "stop doing that". My practice the next day had me standing upright and hitting the balls one handed. It was the therapy I needed at...

Back in the day when coke bottles were glass. A favorite drill was to lay the bottle on its side on the table and stroke through the mouth to touch the bottom without touching the sides of the mouth.

I love a good reflection in the cueball. If I was seeing this when down on the shot....perhaps sticking it in his ear. Seriously I find a feature in the reflection and target it and the path through whitey with closer to center axis the percentage choice.

"An electrifying start",

"A rare break by a rare talent." Zhao fires off a 146. Rare by 140th ever recorded. He sure is purty to watch.
