    BHE vs FHE

    I never met Hal face to face but I did talk on the phone with him many years ago three times.....The first time I called him....the other two he called me just out of the blue. No call was less than an hour long...he was always super nice.......He always reminded me of the Moe Norman of...

    Fast Improvement Training Method for Shot Making

    Some honest feedback for you.....The OP is asking for feedback from instructors that may want to use (FIT) with their students....That is a sales pitch to get instructors to buy in. Years ago I worked in the DR industry....I have seen a few creatives in my day....The two videos together are...

    Rubber Rack

    That was kind of the reason I was doing the rubber rack....fold it up and throw it in my case..... I don't have one but from prior post......from what I understand the Outsville rack is a type of cloth and can be rolled up..... Buy yourself a Rhino CF shaft.....they come in a plastic...

    BHE vs FHE

    I think (even though he does not call it FHE)......that is exactly what he is using......I have been using exactly that method of applying english since switching to a CF (Rhino) shaft....It is pretty much exactly like he describes....no thought necessary........always start from the base (no...

    BHE vs FHE

    As you can see by my UAS link below....I do agree for some things in pool are guys just trying to sell lessons....I don't agree for BHE. BHE/FHE is a method that gives a more predictable/consistent feedback.....and for quite a few shots with BHE there is actually no thought process necessary...

    A great explanation on how to post images

    For both PC and Android...there is a pretty simple process....above...between the paper clip looking icon and the smile icon there is a picture window....just click on that and it gives you a link to click on to insert a picture.... What if I get the "Oops picture is too big" PC....right...

    Rubber Rack

    Interesting...I did a Google....Outsville is a cloth rack?.....Man I am out of touch with modern day pool.....:ROFLMAO:....Sounds like that does not even qualify. The spots I have don't have a paper backing....just get them wet and stick them.....but then again they must be at least 20 years...

    Rubber Rack

    Something you may find interesting......I have that little green can of self adhesive Tefco Masters Spots.....For the heck of it I measured some of them....(again with a el cheapo HF caliper) I got a thickness range of .20-.24

    Rubber Rack

    Thanks for the info .....I don't see a home equipment 3D printed rack making that tolerance....I tried 3 different colors and at .4 the actual thickness comes out between .50 and .55 with an el cheapo HF caliper...(so who knows how accurate that is) ..... It seems pretty typical for home...

    Rubber Rack

    I am young-old school...so pretty much just give me a triangle and I am good to go.... Since my return to pool I see these various template racks being used in pretty much all tournaments......I played in a tournament over the weekend and the template that was used was garbage (IMO)....I will...

    Super Bowl commercial, Tim Birdie 7 time pool champion

    Super Bowl commercial, Tim Birdie 7 time pool champion

    Why did I know as soon as I saw that commercial there would be a thread started..... The name was obviously a play on Tom Brady ....Dressed the way he was though ... I was fully expecting an appearance by CJ.

    Low deflection shafts and BHE

    I miss...I don't think my normal bridge length is long enough to match the pivot point of the CF shaft.....using a more FHE (the way I apply it) I think stretches out the pivot point and makes it work .....The way apply it pretty much feels like I just stroke parallel to the center CB shot...

    Low deflection shafts and BHE

    I find with my Rhino CF shaft I can't use traditional BHE....but I can do a form of FHE....I set up center CB and as I go down into the shot...As I place my bridge hand I shift the front of the shaft to the desired English.

    Measurable Improvement from Equipment Change

    I think that may tie into (is it) the placebo effect.......IMO...what I think happens is....when you change your aiming/alignment method, grip, cue, etc etc....It temporarily makes you focus more/better.

    He has a big break...that's for sure

    Really good bar table 8-ball

    Yeah...I didn't get that.....He clearly on video did not get a rail....He then let the guy ponder his shot a while......and then..... mid ponder..... gets up and...(although I could not completely hear what he was saying) it looked like and sounded like he was "asking the guy" if he got a rail...

    Measurable Improvement from Equipment Change

    Official studies.....doubtful there are any.... Hypothesis......I am sure there are many.....Here is one example. Some equipment plays dry and fast....no real need to develop a overly powerful stroke to move the CB around........Go spend some time in the Philippines....My Hypothesis is you...

    Question for strong barbox players only!

    IMO.....The higher the actual Fargo...the less of a difference it will make between 9 and 7....The lower the Fargo....the more difference it will make in performance between 9 and 7. There is the obvious......play the middle of the rails for shape (don't scratch) and play patterns into bigger...
