I think aiming systems are just a way to stop your self from over thinking the shot. They provide a person with a set out routine to follow so people can't second guess themselves. All a person has to do who struggles with aim is follow a set routine and focus on anything but aiming. How...

Roll the 1 into the rail right next to the 9/6.hide the cue ball against the 8. It serves two purposes. They can jump and the kick is tough, especially if you get to the right of the 8...they would have to go 3 or 4 cushions to escape. The main purpose though is to get the 1 close to the cluster...

Of he hits it square he smashes the table lights. I agree with Fran, you do have to work much harder with an open bridge... I can't do it. I deem to remember Colin on YouTube breaking with an open bridge.

I've never experienced it. I've never seen any of the guys I regularly play experience anything like this either. Players with sound fundamentals will play well regardless of their mentality. I am a pessimist by nature but if I don't think I'm going to beat someone I don't play bad because of...

In pool I practice straight in shots... A LOT. I hit maybe a hundred a day before I even think about playing. I aim to hit stop shots at about 6-7 ft apart. Object ball is not far from the pocket... I concentrate purely on how I hit the cue ball. The aim is to hit them form and stop the white...

I think it would be a better idea to have a universally accepted pocket size. You go into a strange pool hall to play a guy, I would take comfort knowing the pockets would be cut and are the same size as the tables at my pool hall.

With good solid fundamentals your par game will become higher. Without them you will score -10 one day and +18 the next. They bring consistency to your game I guess is what I'm trying to get at. They won't make you play amazing over night or over the course of a year but you won't have as many...

Here is Chinese 8 ball player Zheng Yubo absolutely hammering a rack. He has all the same tendencies as Shane with a very early rise and a lot of shoulder action. He uses an open bridge to break which I find even more amazing that he is able to generate so much power. The cue ball does a huge...

Perhaps not. I always knew I should have gone into the curtain business. I feel shots into blind pockets. .. It could be a curtain blocking it, the large waitress or a number of things force you to focus deeply on the two balls relationship. Something most take for granted. Regardless of...

I hear bonus ball is to be replaced by curtain pool. It's an up and coming discipline in pool. Mother's around the country are grounding their children because they have stolen the curtains to take to the pool hall.

Whose to say approaching shots like some systems set out is best or very effective for most? It's surprising how you naturally do things is best. Sometimes it takes very minor adjustments but not much.

The more strict the equipment gets... Larger tables, smaller pockets and so on the more you realize fundamentals are not a myth.

That's even more lol.

This is very true. All a system is I think is a systematic approach to a given task. If a player can pick apart why they are successful into steps so to speak then they can fall back on those steps in times of need. It could be how they walk into the shot, how the grip rests in their hand. But I...

But why do people need a sysyem? Countless professionals have proven you don't need systems to make it as one of the best. Not all have a God given talent for the game. It shows there are no shortcuts and enough hard work will get you there.

Doesn't stop people offering though, as if that's going to prove CTE correct. Lol. Ok, ok, my panties are back on.

I don't know of any system where a player follows the same steps for each shot. The SEE system for example... Different steps for different angles. Different steps for different spins. The mirror system for kicking and banking... Different steps depending on speed and spin. I don't think at the...

I can't imagine playing at 75.my back aches after a few hours play now. As for running 100. It will come. I haven't played straight pool in God knows how long then one morning I really got the urge to play. 157 on the first attempt whilst in my boxer shorts. Sometimes it's best to not expect and...

Betting money on CTE. Lol.
