    Pattern Play

    I watched a video of Earl commentating on a match that he was playing in.....In most cases he remembered....but in more than a few cases he said could not remember what he did and gave multiple options.....Even when he remembered what he did he gave multiple options. Then of course there is...

    Have I come across the ultimate nit?

    Nothing new here......just typical shafts.....errrr....I mean ...... pool players for ya ......Those that blame lack of talent on the shaft (or rails, rolls, weather, time of day, amount of available drugs and/or alcohol.......etc.) ......and those that are more focused on the angles to give...

    Fast Improvement Training Method for Shot Making

    Even if there was a specific spot to aim for....It may IMO be a deterrent....I also think IMO...no matter what aiming system you are using there is a variable of subliminal adjustment....a GB center spot may not be visually what is best for someone..... I find that I want any GB aiming aid out...

    Improved ball marker

    It just needs a double decker mod on that back corner....that is the only problem I see with just a piece of chalk or any of them that mark on the cloth. I can't for the life of me remember where I saw someone made a DIY home build marker that was piece of leather (or something) that swiveled...

    Cue alignment???

    He could find out for himself pretty quick and report back on here...That may help make sure he is not dialing in wrong. make a circle with your first finger and thumb and look through it to a specific point with both eyes open.....without moving close one eye and see if that point remains in...

    Mark Wilson - CB or OB Last - Age Old Issue

    I don't turn my head....I just right at the pause lock in a visual on my target and then right before the stroke close my eyes...(but I try and keep the visual)....I will do it with straight in shots...but I also will throw balls out and try and run racks that way....You become very aware of...

    Mark Wilson - CB or OB Last - Age Old Issue

    Earl looking CB last??????......I think not....(especially not the last one)

    Mark Wilson - CB or OB Last - Age Old Issue

    Golf Baseball and Tennis are compound motion swings.....Pool other than the arm nothing really should be moving.........(on the break shot the stroke becomes more compound so looking at the CB makes sense) For reference.....putting in Golf is about the closest comparison as neither "ball" is...

    Mark Wilson - CB or OB Last - Age Old Issue

    CB- OB....who needs to see either........If you want to calm your stroke down.....just play racks with your eyes closed.....Set up get perfectly aligned....right before you pull the trigger....close your eyes....

    Stance Aiming Right Heal

    I am a big proponent of Grip, Stance, Posture, Alignment and a natural stroke that takes no thought (other than set up) IMO....the relationship between the grip hand (grip) and the back foot (stance) is an important part of natural straightness of stroke...but also timing of hit. Here is a...

    A new way to think about position?

    Practice for perfection.......You may not need it at all times...but you should still strive for it....Why? If you want to win at all games sometimes the difference is that "dime".....Example....If you are playing 1-pocket....The difference between freezing the guy to the rail and not can be a...

    Shane Van Boening draw stroke: wrist movement analyzed frame-by-frame

    I have always noticed shane has a bit of hitch....or as I like to refer to it a pump fake in his stroke right at the end of the back swing when he starts his forward motion.........It reminds me a lot of a forward press that quite a few people develop when putting in Golf....it is like a trigger...

    Mount Rushmore of pool?

    I would go not necessarily who is the "BEST" pool player...but which player had the most influence on the game....which were the "game changers" or Icon's of pool....When you think of pool the names that you associate as the image of pool.......That being said. Willie, Earl, Efren, Allison

    10 ball and i am calling.....safe

    I don't think anyone is completely faulting the jump.....you are setting yourself up for a controlled distance on the jump........The problem with the jump is....I would expect most decent players are going to pass it back.....for this reason.....You now have to jump...you have very limited...

Here is one......Since there are now multiple cameras...

    Tip....or front of grip hand?

    Thanks Fran....great point! I just played around and revised the method a bit....Instead of (the feeling) of hitting the contact point with the front of my hand....I took the hand out of it and moved it up a bit to where I am using the feeling of hitting the contact point with the thumb side...

    What's the deal with pool players? A sport for angry and shitty people it seems

    What I want to know is......After 9 years....Did the OP wade through all the shit and make it to Pro Speed???

    What's the deal with pool players? A sport for angry and shitty people it seems

    Reminded me of a guy I used to play (gamble) with on the regular........I was already in the fairway......He hooked his drive off the tee into a fairway bunker (guaranteed loss of hole).........He cocked back and was ready to launch his driver into the Arizona desert with plenty of rocks and...

    A new way to think about position?

    I tend to look inward when stuff like as in the OP.....and shape/position is probably the biggest killer of my game....I shoot myself into hard shots that although I may make...at some point I end up missing and selling out.....or in some cases it is just a bad safe. Thing is I can lag the...
