I advise to do exactly that: "Determining/playing path/position puts the shot to rest: only execution remains. You only have to get down to business. No more questions or doubts. Pure focus."

What do you mean by "rogue?" By giving wise advice instead of keeping silent: is this going rogue? Specifically, what are you referring to exactly? What are you saying I am claiming that you need clarification about?

Yes.

"You can't handle the TRUTH!" from a Cruise/Nicholson movie. So you think that withholding the ultimate secret that explains what pool is all about is best left until a novice is experienced or mature enough, in your better judgement. It is better to cut them off at the knees right from the...

What does this mean? Maybe someone else can clarify.

I've got to hear about this: what is the distinction between making balls and pocketing balls?

I chose unwisely. And my advice supports my contention. I clearly described the advantages determining path and spot position when learning the game from the start. Any question of "What should I do?" after determining the path and spot position will be answered automatically. The novice can...

No, that was not the claim: not the thrust/preponderance of the claim. I had a choice. I chose unwisely and here, again, more fully, is why my choice was unwise. Determining/playing path/position necessarily includes making the shot. Making the shot is not necessarily inclusive of making...

"I'm still in bed. I think I will stay here all day. F it." "It's all about the stroke." "It's all about focusing." "Everything will follow from there." I used to think I was pretty smart until I turned about 33 years old. Then... When I first started playing pool at 15, I literally asked...

(I am not intending the video to be an instructional video, at least not yet at this time.) Just focusing on a particular shot, when you get down, what are you looking for? How is your body positioned? How is the cue stick positioned relative to the balls? What are the relationships of the body...

Buddy Hall made $85,000 in 1982 This is $276,675 in today's money. This is just from tournament winnings.

I agree, some people have less awareness of what they are looking at. There is most often a lot more detail than they realize. And most often being aware of these details gives a person a very real advantage. Everyone should accept/know/realize this from life's experience. And yes, I am...

Of course not. Recall your last biggest make or break shot that cost you the match. The one that you should have made. What happened and why? Pressure happens.

CT: RIP

If I explained it to you and you tried it I think you would be more agreeable. I won't do that. But I intend to make a video demonstrating the effectiveness of this "mental" thus unobservable technique. They say, seeing is believing. Thanks. Until then...

...final focus ability is most important for execution under pressure. How often one's game completely collapses with weak knees, rubbery stroke and failed mental awareness at contact.

What you said was more than important: it is essential. It is just not what I am talking about. If you do not have optimized Ultimate SEEING you cannot have as a reliably repeatable accurate stroke as you otherwise could have. It could be good enough if you are satisfied with it. I am...

Calvin, a Hard Times Bellflower regular, told me that Cole shot just as good high as straight.

I said, "I'm only talking about the balls and the lay on the table, not how to approach how to shoot the shot (different matter.)" Pattern recognition is a "different matter." I think I should have just said: I'm only talking about SEEING the balls. Not anything to do with HOW they are...

First of all, you are changing the subject to "quality of play" and "reliably repeatable accurate stroke." I said, "I'm only talking about the balls and the lay on the table, not how to approach how to shoot the shot (different matter.)" I am not a Bible Thumper but doesn't it say in there...
