15% I can't remember who it was, but on one of the many AccuStats matches in my collection, one commentator said that 10Ball is 15% more difficult than 9 ball. I want to say it was Danny D, but not sure...

Stan, GREAT video!!! I don't think the concept of visual sweeps could have been explained more thoroughly! Bob

No. With an open pocket like you describe, I just don't concern myself with contact points, so I really have no need to get behind the ball and see that point or the track to the pocket. I can see everything I need to know about any shot from behind the cue ball. There are times I will get...

Joey, No... I do NOT look at the contact point using Pro One.

As a Mechanical Engineer, I understand your math and your conclusions, but do see a few issues. Nothing to do with your calculations, but to do with the equipment. As a pool player, I collect things... like cue balls. I have a collection of about 20 or so different cue balls. Everything from...

Once you spend that time with Stan, you'll be shocked how easy this is to do. In the meantime, don't give up! One thing I would really like to stress is that after you get your visuals, the sweep to the cue ball is so subtle that it's hardly noticeable. I've been doing this long enough that...

Because it's my escape. Doesn't matter if I'm gambling, playing tournaments, playing for no stakes with my friends, playing the ghost or just coming down here (my office is connected to my game room) and hitting balls... when I pick up that cue, I'm in a different world... A place that, for me...

Excellent presentation, Monte!

No problem gazman... I had fun doing it and I'm glad to see it's helping a few people. Bob

Stan, You are absolutely right. My intent with the video was to show how subtle the sweeps actually are, not to show where to put your feet. What I showed with the shot of my feet was, as you put it, where my feet want to go, and those positions put me in a comfortable stance and position...

LaMas, It is so close that I can't measure any difference, if there is any, regardless of length of shot or cut angle. I orginally put a piece of masking tape on the floor and tried to mark the lines with a pencil, but couldn't see the mark on the tape, so went with the Paper hole...

Thanks! Thank you, Randy... You're the one that got me started in all of this, ya know... Few know this, but after a nearly 20 year hiatus from playing pool, I started playing again in about 2003 or 2004, really can't remember. Within 6 months, I hit a wall and knew it was time to do...

I am not teaching visual sweeps or Pro One in this video. I'll leave that to Stan, Stevie and Stan's DVDs. The purpose of this is to show those new to Pro One how little movement is actually needed to execute the visual sweeps. I see a lot of new Pro One users throw up their hands because...

I went a little larger than just spectator chairs. Since I have a "few" friends that play here at the house from time to time, I found an old church pew and built a 12" tall riser to set it on. Riser is carpeted and trimmed out and the pew is bolted to the riser. I'm still going to build arms...

:thumbup: Very nice, Stan.

Great videos, Stan. I really did like the ones Gerry posted on the other thread, but my syntax for the system is more like yours. I don't use the word "pivot" when describing or talking about Pro One. "Visual Sweep", in my opinion, is much more easy to grasp conception than pivot. Anyways...

Gerry, Excellent presentation/demonstration of how ProOne works. I've been using it for well over a year (actually, close to 2 years since I took the lesson from Stan) and love it. Your's is the most comprehensive video I've seen posted on youtube about the method, by far. Thanks, Bob

Gotta disagree on this, just because all that does is punish the incoming player for a mistake made by the other player. I was talking to Earl at Tunica and he summed it up... "Did you ever see 'em make Tiger Woods hit his ball from behind a tree because Phil Michelson shanked his drive?" Pool...

Only if they ask... I don't mind helping a player at all, but learned a long time ago to wait for them to ask me. Once they ask, and they open the door, I'm more than happy to help them with any aspect of pool. Bob
