Great read JAM....and a well painted picture......Except for one part that is kind of hard to picture..........I can't ever picture Keith "sitting quietly" 😋

A lot to be said of that..... Many a top player can't even tell you why they are such good shot makers.....Likely because they don't overthink it and just go with what works for them....(I wish I had that ability to not overthink stuff) Overthinking can be the demise of greatness.......In...

Oh...not true!!!!....some guys have completly nailed down why and when they play bad vs good. They are called "Hustlers".....the affliction (and cure) is $$$$. It is like I say every morning at the beginning of my work day when I sneeze........"Looks like my work allergy is kicking in......I...

Back in the days of pagers and flip phones just before and the start up of the interwebs....One of the best players in AZ was a guy named Andy Scott.....(I say one of the best as Roger Griffis also was in AZ for a stretch) Andy was a lights out never miss shooter....... He played with one eye...

Perhaps you are just playing at the wrong rythum....

Evereyones does......Everyone has a "range" of ability.....your speed is the average between your particular bad and good....(where most usually play).....NOTE: your good may not be as good as SVBs good....(even though you may think it is) Mine is measured by the 3-blind mice.....🤮

On paper....the geometry shows that parallell lines is more accurate than Mensabums approach....You can clearly see the difference in contact points. However.......at the table it is very difficult to see a difference between the two variations of method....and Mensabum's variation is way...

I wanted something where I did not have to disturb any ball by picking it up and re-placing it....just slide it up to any OB ball and point the directional marks at the pocket... If you run accross a shot in a rack that you just can't seem to see....slide on the 3LC and it will help dial in the...

It is not so much about speed as it is rythum.....IMO...the pace of play or "ryhthum" you play ideally will match your pace of speaking....If you talk fast...your pace of play is probably fast...If you talk slower... your pace of play will likely be slower....Look at Nick Varner...not really a...

I am not sure anyone actually does and exaggerated stroke to where the but cap hits the fore arm (while standing) except my goofy arse.........I suspect in most cases the practice strokes while standing is more a getting a feel for how hard to hit the shot. What I notice is that pretty much ALL...

You must be referring to this scene... I actually use the words "Dollar Bills" from that movie for tempo practice........Dollar on the backstroke and Bills on the forward stroke. The "Dollar" is a two syllable word and the Bills one. It acts as a sort of stroke metronome and promotes a slower...

Another great video.....RE: The cue pointing method....I suspect that method will work better for players that align the cue under the dominant eye (on the same side as the grip hand) Here is a similar but slight variation to that method I did not see in the video you might evaluate.........If...

I was not talking about the bridge being solid.....Personally.....I like to think of keeping the bridge "solid" which naturally will guide you torward keeping a slightly firm pressure without any un-neccessary over use of the muscles.... What I was referring to was open bridge shooting off the...

Honestly I am not even sure what balance point on the cue defines a forward balance vs rear balance.......I like a balance point that is anywhere from the top of the wrap to about an inch in front of the traditional wrap...but then again...what defines the distance from the top of the wrap to...

I don't have different cues for different games.....but I do have a different cue for a different venue......If I am going to be playing in some back alley hole in the wall bar room and don't want to carry a case, break cue etc...or worry about theft, close proximity table, chair and wall...

So that is how they make bar box tables......Wash down a 9' with hot water and it shrinks....😝

There are a few different makers of chalk holders that sell them online.......just not a fan of the hard plastic material. I just designed and printed my own with a TPU filament that has a rubber like feel to it....made some indents for the fingers....won't roll away....and when done...

If you are lined up correctly it does not matter what you look at, you can close your eyes and still make the shot if your stroke is good. How many have had that in the zone moment where you feel like you can't miss and try and recall what you were looking at only to find you can't remember and...

A little trick I use to help with alignment on those not quite straight in shots....(actually I use this method on most shots) is instead of standing behind OB to pocket....First stand behind CB to pocket. When standing behind CB to pocket the amount of angle on the OB becomes very apparant. In...

The only problem with the sticky holes is that you can't (easily) move them around.......That is why I made this. Move it around to any shot on the table and you have multiple references to aim and track line reference.....as well as a quick reference to tangent line (for someone that has a...
