Lack of motivation sucks. I know it's way easier to be motivated when you're playing in tournaments and there is some competition to get ready for. In the back of my mind, I've got a goal to move up a skill level from A to AA, when I go back to playing in tournaments. That certainly helps...

I was thinking about all the stuff I've improved in my pool game the last 6 months or so since Covid. Covid meant I was staying at home a lot more, and on top of that, I had one month break from work in July because of a mix-up with my IT consulting contract. It was meant to be a few days...

and after he gets up, he says "I must say - the champagne pairs beautifully with the buttercream".

I notice my last super soft Kamui tip mushroomed pretty badly. Also, after you hit enough balls with super soft, they get harder as the leather compacts, so you probably are playing with a medium tip, once you break them in. If you need the super soft tip, you'll probably have to replace them...

Awesome setup there for pool and carom! The guy from Predator didn’t mention the shipping delays out of China, but I told him I was a few months away from buying. Hope you like the light, whenever it comes!

Good info GoldCrown. The price is right. I have played under these a couple times and liked them— excellent task lighting. I see they have a dimming capability with apple app similar to temperature control lighting on the Predator Arena system. I do like the ability to mount training...

Predator Arena lighting is now available to buy I was searching the forums to see if anybody took the plunge to buy the Predator Arena lighting for at home use. It looks like this is the only thread, so I don't see much interest. Anyhow, I am considering replacing my Diamond coffin-style...

I recently purchased the Vimeo stream of Dr. Dave's System for Aiming with Side Spin (SAWS). Here's a review, so that others can learn about it. High level overview of content - The main point of the video is how to adjust for deflection (squirt + swerve) due to applying side spin and still...

I'd agree that our mind can adjust automatically for the effects of throw on many shots. However, there are some shots that don't come up as often in game play, and we don't realize that our mind does not have a program to be successful on these. Having knowledge of the physics of throw and...

SIT = Saliva Inhibited Throw :D Great material from Dr. Dave. This is deep knowledge!

I've been using a video projector system on my home table since beginning of 2020 roughly. icatraining.com Since using the system, I played a couple of bar table 8-ball tournaments before Covid came on the scene and could tell my play was sharper. I was competing well in A division and...

I just read a little about James Walden. He is in the one pocket hall of fame.

Guy on the right must be the stakehorse. It’s neat that he pays them out with envelopes of cash.. sort of like paper wallets.:cool:

Slightly off topic, but I appreciate the wealth of material on your website. I just bought your SAWS video. Here's the random path for how I ending up buying your video. I know it's the normal chaotic path of how we find most things on the web, but it's a bit amusing. Last night, I was...

And it also originated the phrase “this is going to hurt me more than you” for the guy who had to stick it in the victims rectum.

Imac007, you wrote a beautiful post, almost akin to poetry. Just reading it brought a smile to my face. The descriptions are vivid, the word choices are artistic and filled with imagery, and there is a flow to it (highly intentional pun).;) To summarize the main point of what you wrote is...

You have a fascinating and thought-provoking way of describing things. :thumbup: I agree we need to install the triggers to let us enter a state that delivers high performance. As you mentioned, it should have a normal sense to it. I'll translate that to being a simple routine that may be...

I'm digging the "mental PSR overlaid on the physical" concept! A mental PSR would need to include a strong belief that you can execute the next shot, i.e., no self doubt. Another aspect to include is focusing on process instead of outcome. I like to miss the shots which win the game, because...

I also experience this phenomenon of shooting the shot anyways, even though I didn't feel like I had done my due diligence on aiming the shot. Besides being just lazy or having a let up in focus, I think there is a physical aspect to why we shoot early. Two things come to mind-- 1) holding a...

Wow, nice analogy and visual. I really like the concept of confidence/skills feedback loop.
