    Revo 11.8 or 12.4?

    Hey Mirza, 12,4 and/or 11.8 are very similar if we talk about the "handling" ( for the bridgehand- taper feels very identical for closed bridges). Deflection is of course different- but not as much as many think. Imo you will "see" and "feel" the difference as soon as you will use really high...

    Fran s advice is the one and only- meeting a physio therapist is necessary and important ( good that you made it). As you can see clearly, usually every of the professionals nowadays are working out daily. For sure not because it s fun :-) it s absolutley necessary, because pool is "brutal"...

    Great champion level players who said that they never did any drills?

    Good point, to get these "best players" out of their comfort zone- that s what its about imo. To have competion is necessary- and being alone at the table challenging drills will give kind of competition, too.

    No jump cue allowed

    Hey JV :-) for me personally i don t see this discussion- just shared my personal opinion. I think about myself, that I am a very expirienced *kick shot* player far above average- I m also able to jump well enough- everything from 1/2 a ball away from cb is not really a problem ( with...

    No jump cue allowed

    Nowadays the industry makes much money by selling jump cues- that s the main problem now. I don t see that they will disappear somewhen- for some it might look spectacular- but imo it really takes away skills. But you cannot blame the players- if its allowed, you NEED to learn it and use it-...

    Buddy Hall

    A M E N! I remember a commentator doing critics on Shaw and in the same time also on Filler-- that they wouldn t play the correct shots-- Just have shown, that this commentator has slept in the last two decades. Technically the Pool Elite advanced a ton- shooting straighter than the Elite did...

    My experience with 7 carbon shafts so far

    That s the main problem-- of course it s nice to maybe read somewhere about a product. expiriences etc.- Many forget (or don t know, no offense), that so many different facts come into the ring, as soon you start "to like something". Played/tested both Revos-- not bad- but nothin for me...

    Pros and cons of believing in talent or hard work

    Just pure talent without putting in hard work will get you never near excellence. NO matter about what we re speaking- any kind of sport. As The_JV showed it up: With a kind of talent you ll get a bit faster modereate or good results-- but at some point just willing, hard work and desire...

    Jumping up !!!

    jumpin up Hi there, jumpin up can be caused by a few things. First is often just "bad fundamentals". - but (from my expirience) the 2 "most made" mistakes are "not trusting" in your ability and your eye pattern. As soon as you re not really trusting your stroke you ll have (often, if not...

    Coaching VS Lessons

    Well Leigh :-) coaching and lessons should go simultanuosly- in best case of course. To have a full time coach.....-oh well.. i think both sides (coach and student, lol) would "dream" of it :-) If you want a long time based relation ship with an instructor, you "should" get all the things...

    SAM - Stick Aiming Method

    Good points mate- Just my personal opinion: As an instructor you "should" have a very wide range of knowledge- and for me this does mean, that i (in best case) have a ton of knowlede- the more knowledge and expirience you have, the better you can help someone. Expirience, knowledge and...
