Many of you are pretty good to excellent players. I am just an average player. I see my average for long distance straight in shot improve leaps and bound when I learn and adopt a new technical skill - the most recent being the grip. Of course not all techniques work. You will know which works...

For the average players who might like to try my method of straightening your shots (like I did), you might like to do this: 1. Use the DIY method to test how well you aim. It is at the Main forum under Poll: Who have tested that their cue is pointing at the right place, post #18. Practice...

I have seen the wannabe players practicing with so many routines and so many positions on the table. I fear their progress will be slow. IMHO, we must use our practice time wisely and purposefully. The best practice for an average player is simply to pot a straight half table ball to the...

Just browse through the thread. Someone advocate not having the cue immediately below the chin which is contrary to what snooker players believed in. Look at Steve Davis. I personally do not believe in the exact location where the cue is below the head. There are no two distinct aiming...

For those who requested for the manual the past few days, I was out of town hence unable to send it to you. Will send to you guys soonest. Regards.

Hope you have a good time.

It isn't easy to do experimentation especially when someone like myself, have problems with achieving center ball hits consistently. So, I hope friends here can give me a clearer picture. Thanks fastone371. I know the effects of FHE and how to use it, but I am not familiar with it. No...

Hi Mikepage, Many of the players that I communicate with in this forum uses parallel English (or whatever you call it) if they use a LD shaft. They claim that they aimed at their target then parallel shift a little. No need to offset. I am try to reconcile it with BHE. When you pivot using...

Parallel English is a technique of moving the cue stick parallel to the aim line (aimed at the new offset point), to introduce sidespin. This I know. Different cues will have different squirt. My question is, is the squirt the same if you hit half a tip off-centre and two tip off-centre. I...

My apology to WildWing. I have read his statement wrongly. He is absolutely right when he says that if you play right english, the ball will deflect to the opposite direction (ie. left in this instance) - in a broad sense. Hi Cornerman Freddie, I am not touting about anything. Do not read...

My intention was not to let the thread stray hence I do not want to explain. Anyway, I will give a scenario that prove otherwise that you do not always aim in the opposite direction to compensate when you play sidespin: Just a scenario: If the cue ball and the object ball is about half a ball...

Sent. Hope you could get some insight into some of the shots that you have always made, but do not know the mechanics behind it. Basics are important in pool. Enjoy.

Precision Potting does not have its own aiming system. Do not go away thinking of it as such. I am coming up with a Precision Potting Aiming System - if there are enough players interested and asked for it.. Is it easy to use? Yes, damn easy. Is it accurate? It will definitely be many...

This isn't true all the time. Whether to aim off to the right or to the left of the object ball fractionally if you are going to do a right side spin would depend on a few factors. I will not go into that here. Too lengthy and too technical. I started this thread to know if you compensate...

Will send to you asap. Have fun.

Maybe he is using LD shaft. I understand that you do parallel aiming, and you do a little aiming off (if necessary). I don't really know how an LD shaft works except that the deflection is small. I suppose the longer the distance the shot and the softer the shot, the less would be the...

SPOT ON.

Hi, what I meant was, if I introduce sidespin to the cue ball, the eventual contact point between cue ball and object ball will not be where you aimed at (unless under special circumstances). As such, you have to compensate for the difference in the contact point when you are aiming, such that...

Hardly anyone replied to this thread answering my questions. Maybe only Freddie and a few. I seriously would like to know how you do it. Might help me see which method is more logical and why. Not asking about aiming system nor which side of object ball to aim for compensation, but rather on...

336Robin, totally concur with your points.
