Nice! Pm replied to! Thanks! Very happy about this. I have entered many raffles on here and this is my first win! Looking forward to getting the cue! Jason

Yep! I often use chess analogies. Pool can be very chess-like, but I like to make this point clear by saying " No one sits at home and just practices moving chess pieces around the board!" I love to teach and discuss strategy, but always make it clear that you MUST have a plan, BUT having a...

bump for any more offers?

I seen this cue in person. It is just AWESOME!:thumbup2: This is a monster cue! Very nice details on this one. Beautiful ringwork, ivory joint, and the wrap is just sick. Good luck with the sale!

ok, give me # 17,30,31,38 please

Many questions have been directly asked of you. Not one answer given. Just more personal attacks. I find it ironic that your main insult is to call people closed minded and you give advice to not get stuck in a box, etc. Yet you seem to show a great deal of respect to abe rich who a friend of...

I am not a friend of blackheart. Never met him or spoke with him. Just reading the thread with no pevious bias for or against anyone. I just call em like I see em. So are you going to answer the questions? Who is currently making cues with this mehod? You want to take people to task about...

In your case though the closed bridge is a band aid for a poor stroke. It is a quick fix, but you are not addressing the real problem. You need to straighten out your stroke and get rid of the twisting motion. Then you can use whichever bridge is appropriate for the shot at hand. You are NOT...

I got to say, you are def coming off as just trying to start crap for no good reason. The OP was asking for advice on starting out making cues. Blackheart gave some very sound advice that was very appropriate to the conversation at hand. You had to go in and basically take one statement out...

What about lucky position? Should we get rid of that too? I shoot in the 7 in the side and play 3 rails for the 8 on the short rail 6 inches from the corner pocket. It is obvious I was playing to the bigger zone for the 8, but I missed my line and end up perfect in the 6 inch area between the 8...

I actually really like 9 ball texas express rules and all. I understand why many would like to take away the luck and manipulation of the break ,and I don't mind the call shot aspect either. I REALLY LOVE the entire strategy and thinking of a 2 and often a 3 way shot ( meaning, play to pocket...

Okay, thanks very much for your response. I do feel a better about keeping my bridge at least for now. And yes I see a lot of stuff is based from the BCA program, I don't think tim would deny that. Thanks again for all your help. And I will follow up later for that discussion! I am interested...

Yes, he was awesome! Another great teacher. He showed me a little trick on playing safties that is just PRICELESS! I will never lose that knowledge. I was blown away. Jw

Hey Scott, Yes it was at the same room. I want to thank you again for all your help. As I said, I am just trying to say that I had a great time and feel I learned quite a bit. I am praising one experience with one teacher/method. I am NOT putting down ANY others. We did do video stroke...

I have not read this thread, just responding to the original post. This is very ironic and somewhat of a paradox. You are trying to pin down a system for shooting by feel. Technically it is impossible. Actually, if you make a sysytem for shooting by feel, it would no longer BE shooting by...

I have worked with other great instructors one on one. I understand what you are saying about getting one on one instruction. If you are talking about by the hour, or half a day or so, you may get a bit more done with individual lessons ( and will pay for it!). However, this program being 8...

Okay, here is a better link http://www.monkbilliardacademy.net/ click the link, feel free to explore the site. Check out the "click here for more information" link and it will take you to the part about the workshops. There is also a "pool workshops" button on the left heading. I wanted to...

Who else? Anyone else have a good monk story or experience?

Thanks very much for your questions. It was a LOT of instruction! But we did have a tournament at the end of each day, which was a great way to finish the day. The monk played in the tournamnets, though I honestly believe he has no intentions of winning them. It seems it is his policy to not...

I just got home a little bit ago from the Monk's Maine Event 2, also known as the West Palm Beach experience. Here is a link here http://www.monkbilliardacademy.net/MainEvent2.html I like this link because it mentions me winning the tournament! :D I had such a GREAT time at this event...
