    CIT, SIT, Deflection aim adjustments: At the object ball vs at the pocket?

    I asked Roger Griffis (RIP) one time how he learned to move and spin the CB so well.......He said he just spun the Sh** out of the CB for a year and then dialed it back in to around CB....He said you have to know how to spin it when you need it. May have been a little tongue and cheek from...

    No....# of tables depends on how many players....but multiple tables.....Race to 1. winner stays at the table, loser reports to TD (to get back in line) and loses a chip. First in line gets sent to that table and gets the break (Winner from previous game racks for incomming player)....A good...

    Do the Pro's have any annual competitions in Phoenix, AZ?

    That was the event I mentioned (post #2) that ended up being held at Kolby's. (IIRC I think it was supposed to be at a Hotel but the hotel it was supposed to be held at became unavailable and Kolby stepped up) Big Fiasco....Chuck got himself in all kinds of a bad situation...........Never...

    Take all of the weight out of your break cue

    Modern day....IF I was playing all the time and practicing the break.....I would want to be able to Hit a 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 MPH break at will.....kind of like a golfer with a wedge that has a 50, 60,70,80, 90, 100...(etc) yard swing with a wedge....I don't care for the "BIG"...

    Do the Pro's have any annual competitions in Phoenix, AZ?

    Example of a chip tournament.....FYI...incoming player breaks....race to 1......if you lose you lose a chip......Very much a "social" event.....A 720 can only lose 2 games the whole tournament.....and has to play probably more than 30 games.....NOTE: The faster you run out....the quicker you get...

    Pocket nail head protection

    You could 3D print TPU plugs that would fit into the allen head and make the pocket flush instead of recessed. The pictured example is plugs I made for a motorcycle allen head........simple press fit plug......could easily be modifed to press fit into the recessed hole using the allen...

    More accurate when doing ZERO warm-up strokes. What might be going on?

    Simple.......The drop and shoot forces the "pause" before taking the final stroke and creates hyper focus on alignment. The warm up strokes are to get a feel for the shot power......problem is when the "pause" gets skipped you are never fully aligned before actually starting the final stroke.

    I've been contemplating

    Aim is easy....alignment on the other hand.......

    When Did Simonis Become The #1 Tournament Choice?

    Seems like the answer is "around the same time the internet was started"

    Do the Pro's have any annual competitions in Phoenix, AZ?

    Mostly Fargo Pro events.....JJ's, Metro, BullShooters, Main Street, Dozers, are the main locations to check for weekly......Chip tournaments are now the norm and the higher your Fargo you pretty much have to play perfect and string 10-15 wins at least once to lap the field and catch up.....It...

    Do the Pro's have any annual competitions in Phoenix, AZ?

    He was one of the good ones....I played on a BCA team with him years ago, actually drove up and roomed with him that year. He was a Math Wizard. He taught math gymnastics or something like that to kids. He was the human "blue book" of cues and had a few of them. IIRC he played in Camel Tour...

    Do the Pro's have any annual competitions in Phoenix, AZ?

    Not since the days of the Golden 8-ball when Danny D. was the house pro and played many a big name in the pit. There used to be an event that was held at the Convention Center (downtown). The last "pro" event of any signifigance was at Kolby's Corner Pocket. Many of the big names all over the...

    High(er) Stances

    My stance on shooting high.....For some players shooting a little high seems to make them a better player....but if they get too high thier game falls apart and becomes a blithering mess.....so getting high(er) is not always better. ;)

    CTE Aiming

    All aiming/alingment systems are simply tools to get you the right feel to make your cut. CTE is just an over elaborate system that takes work to understand and effectively apply....not that it "can't" get you the correct feel...it is just a bit more than is necessary to get the job...

    Locked wrist opinions

    I don't think you should force lock your wrist...I also don't think you should try and force wrist action....I feel like the wrist action should be a natrual motion.....Forcing wrist action either way is adding another stroke failure variable.....There are already enough IMO. One thing you can...

    Golf Tee Drill Issues

    One possibility (of course no way of knowing without see the set up)....If you happen to be setting up crooked....meaning your tip may be on the shot line......but if the butt end is off the shot line to one side either way (causing a crooked cue set up).......you now have to swerve the cue to...

    Going backwards

    Isn't it interesting that it is always the "bad" habits that return and can't seem to get rid of???? ..... I think the mark of being a successful consistent player is being one that has "good" habits that naturally return and can't seem to get rid of.....;)
