There are not many players in the world who can pocket balls like earl. Ask him about how he pockets the balls like he does. Ask him how he aims and how he aligns his body to the shot. And than post here what he says. Great shot making skills are the key to high runs!

Hi guys. What kind of body alignment techniques do you know? One technique I've heard of is to hold the cue high in the line of the shot in a 90° angle to the floor. Then just get down without moving the cue and you should be right on the line of the shot. Are there any drills or something to...

Hi everyone. What are the best drills to learn to pocket more balls? I mean when the stroke is straight you know how to play that should be a part of the workout. What to do? Set up ball after ball and shoot it untill you pocket it 3, 5 or whatever times or are there special drills ? Thx

I know that, Jaden. But what does he mean by "aiming at the object balls edge on EVERY shot"? Johnny writes he uses parallel lines but Hal Houle writes he doesn't. He means Johnny aims at the edge of the OB and the only way to do this I can think of is not to aim through the cue ball center but...

Thank you Collin, never thought about it. Is there a technique or something that helps to place the bridge hand the right way?

Nobody else uses it? I tried S.A.M. but I've got much better results with the pivot method (or shish ka bob?). The problem I've got with the S.A.M. is to recognize the aiming points. And in the match I don't want to take time to search for the right aimind point. Nobody can tell how to use the...

I saw two statements from Hal Houle on Johnny Archers web site: "When players write to you, asking how to aim, your pat answer is to say that you get three feet back from the shot, then you shoot parallel lines. That is all hogwash. That is not how you aim. Why don't you level with these...

This is exactly my problem. Where to aim at the cue ball and at the object ball for a 1/4 ball hit or for a 1/8 ball hit for example? Somewhere near the center of the cue ball at the edge of the object ball? Have you ever seen any pro or A+ player who uses this method, Colin?

Hi guys. I try to use the aim & pivot method which goes like aim with the cue stick somewhere aside of the cue ball center to the contact point or the edge of the object ball and then pivot (only with the back hand) to the middle of the cue ball and shoot. It works great on some shots but on...

You should not speak about things you don't understand seymore! I don't care whether you think it works or not. I know that some very good players think it works. Bob Jewett wrote about it and a very fine instructor Ron Vitello who worked with Immonen, Morris and Deuel teaches this method. I...

I don't know where you play but where I play the lights are on and nobody caomes to bump the lights!

Hi everyone. Last night someone told me that there is an aiming system that uses lights but he didn't know exactly how it goes. He only knew that for one shot you aim center cue ball in between of the light and edge of object ball and on some shots you aim the edge of the cue ball to that middle...

Stick aiming is S.A.M.? Ok then I've got something wrong. What system is that one where you aim with your cue or ferrule at the CONTACT POINT?

I've heard about something cold cue stick aiming system. It's about using the cue stick to contact point or something. Does anybody knows that system? I think Hal Houle teaches this but I couldn't find any explanation of it. Does anyone use it? How does it work?

I saw the 14.1 tape from John Schmidt where he ran 245 balls. I saw him using the pivot aiming system. But he's not lining up on the inside of the cue ball and then pivot to the cue ball center. He lines on the outside of the cue ball. So it looks like when cutting a ball to the left he lines up...

I only wanted to know how to understand how Reyes and Rempe do mean this. Not how to aim properly. I know exactly how to aim and don't need lessons. I'm just interesting in learning new things and that's the only reason. Maybe there is someone who knows.

Hi everyone. I found an older article from the Pool & Billiard Magazine 1995 about the aiming systems that pros use. Here it is http://www.sfbilliards.com/PnB_aiming.pdf And I found it ineresting to read that Efren Reyes and Jim Rempe aim directly at the contact point on the object ball. How...

DC++! interpool.dnsalias.com is online again and working.

Well I thought there is someone who reads the magazine.

Hi pool fans! I found this DVD on eBay and the author says this DVD is available in the Oct, Nov or Dec issue of Pool & Billiard Magazine. Does anyone know it? Is the whole DVD in the magazine or only a description of the system? Who has the magazin? bizzy
