Looks like you do. You're right. In order to make such shots you are forced to perfect all aspects of your game. Let me briefly explain by example. After you decide your position, and the path to it, you are now in a position to know everything there is about the shot. Focusing on the first...

I bought these Dynasphere Bronze billiard balls Nov. 2023. I've never even cleaned them.

Okay. I just uploaded another video. This is an unedited video, unlike AZB 4. It begins when I make the first shot. I take 8 successive shots. I make 5 of them. It's a tough shot. I had to cut it up into 3 videos because of length. But the ends and beginnings overlap. So you can see that they...

Okay. I just uploaded to a website that hosts free anonymous temporary videos. It says it will expire in 24 hours. I checked. The link works and the video looks good. This is just to demonstrate that I can make shots just using my technique, as lame as my proficiency is at it at this time. I...

You look familiar. Haven't I seen you around here before?

Haiku? No. Ayahuasca. It may not be as smooth as Kentucky Sour Mash. But it certainly makes a lasting impression. "If you want to see god, take DMT." Joe D. I'd like to have lunch with a pool god.

Great reply. I tried to explain to my girlfriend. But she was too pissed to reason with. We spent the night sleeping in the car because I dogged the 9-ball. No lovey-dovey for me. "Heh, hon. Let's share a Happy Meal... Geez. It's just a game, after all.... (grimace) All right. I'll...

"I didn't know if I was going to make the shot." "Then why did you shoot?" Exactly. 'nough said. Common sense. No more dilly dallying. You gotta stick it in. You gotta put it in. No more guesswork. In the end, you are "putting" that cue ball. Stroking the cue ball or hitting the cue ball? It...

Let me explain why perfecting these 5 steps listed in the OP are so important by example. You may not be able to perfect each one, but maybe you can rely on your abilities to get close, say, 90%. That's pretty good. So if we multiply each step at 90% each: .9 x .9 x .9 x .9 x .9 = 0.59. So...

Cole told me face to face, just me: "I like beating guys who use lots of english." Let us know if you have any insight as to what he meant. If you never saw him shoot in his prime, around 1969, you are at a disadvantage. And if he never confided in you, you are in even less of a position. If...

You probably noticed that the OP does not mention anything about shape/position play. That is because it is specifically talking about potting balls. Now, position is an advanced topic. Position determines the shot: what object ball, pocket, path, and the final spot position. It is inclusive...

Can't argue with that.

Yes. "sending a message to serious players." Smug? How so? A serious player by definition is serious. This is serious advice. This is serious advice for serious players. This is serious advice for serious players who want to get even more serious. Seriously.

Sounds good.

Of course it reads like a statement. It is the original post that got the thread started.

Many of the commentators on Accu-Stats videos recommend that if you can't get shape on the next ball, play shape to play a safety.

Why don't you come up with something intelligent on your own we can all benefit from. Instead of attempting to throw a plate of spaghetti up against the wall and see if something sticks.

I met a guy who was from Greece. He was about 60 or so. You could see that age was catching up with him. Well, we were talking world affairs or something. And if that wasn't bad enough, I went and brought up religion. I said that Jesus said, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do."...

I only said that if you can't do these 5 essential things, you should consider hanging it up. I am just pointing out what is needed to succeed so you can think about it. And that the tasks to succeed are staring you right in the face. And your solutions to accomplish them are right in front of...

Oh, well. That was a big tournament around '76-'77. Kim taught me a good lesson. And Sax's biting comment did as well. Thanks.
