I began sending out these Tips of the Month to my students about six months ago. I'm making them available to AZ members too. Below is my July Tip. If you'd like to receive the previous Tips and future Tips, send me an email at Tom@PoolClinics.com. FYI, I rebuilt my website earlier this year...

FYI - A couple of players who bought the Kindle version earlier received their book without photos & illustrations. There was a technical issue for a few days that caused this, and it has been corrected. If you got that version, contact Kindle support and ask them to update you.

Wonderful reminisces, Dave! Thought I'd toss in a couple more Hal adventures: He explained how, as a young man (teenager?) he would drive carriages in parades, holding the reins of 8 or 10 horses. He told me he went down in a ship in the Pacific. When he & Greenleaf were on the road, Hal...

An epitaph for Hal "He aimed to please." Hal had a gigantic impact on my life & teaching. He irrevocably changed my perspective on aiming and aiming systems, and I've been teaching his systems for over 10 years now. I'm filled with gratitude for the times I got to visit him. What a character...

I have decided to part with my highly collectible Raschig balls. I bought the set new in 1995, played with it a few hours and put it away. Balls are perfect. Original box is close to perfect. These were produced for a limited time, in Germany. They were made to be the best possible balls, with...

Mahogany 9' 2006 GC4. Perfect condition, chrome pocket tops, ball returns. Professionally disassembled down to large pieces (rail top, slates, underlay, leg assemblies). Ready to go. Easy to move. Hillsville VA area (southwestern VA).

Hunter is in Japan playing challenge matches and touring with Thorsten for a few weeks. Then he's playing the World Mixed Doubles in China with Jennifer Beretta as his partner. They will, if nothing else, look fabulous. :smile:

I've known Hunter for over ten years. He is the most sincere and passionate player I know. The whole time I've known him he has constantly been seeking knowledge and improvement. He drains me every time we're together. Hunter is my "poster child" for beautiful, simple form. He teaches with me...

Please check out my new stroke training product, the Stroke Groover™. It’s extremely simple to set up and use. No pool table necessary! All you need is an extra pool cue. The Groover trains the stroke arm to fold at the elbow and not drop the upper arm. As you know if you've worked on it, this...

What a wonderful man. Willie was a true gentleman of the game. I certainly felt honored to hang out with him a bit. I once asked him to leave me his hair. RIP.

Tom Simpson's 3-Day Weekend Intensive is given twice a year in Atlanta. The next time is August 15-17. Visit www.NationalBilliardAcademy.com and listen to the audio for details, or send an email to tom@poolclinics.com.

Sounds like a great idea, Dave! Looking forward to meeting you at VF.

Let me try to shed some light on this. I spoke with the manager at Seyberts. They have been a top Jerico Stinger dealer for many years. Yes, McDermott licensed Jerico (Jerry Powers) technology and the Stinger name, so they could produce Stingers that could sell for less. Mass production is, of...

Hi Guys, Tom Simpson here. I'd like to straighten this out immediately. The gentleman you saw teaching is Jim Wyant, BCA Advanced Instructor. He has taught with me for many years, and he does indeed know what he's talking about. He is not an APA player. You are confusing him with someone else...

Thank you! I agree. I struggled over what to do with Ida. She started late in life, but has more passion for it than almost anyone. In my opinion, her passion over-rode her inexperience and her lack of great athletic ability. She came through the program three times, worked hard, and took it all...
