lol, all this from Dave Segal: who probably has a frequent flyer card when it comes to getting banned here.

What's it is is drawing attention to how inane it is to be calling yourself a man of action, which in and of itself is pretty hilarious, but even crazier when used as a justification for your immature ranting.

I'm just wondering if you have a costume, Mr. Action Man? Tights? A mask? Certainly a cape, lol.

My ranting? LMAO You retired as a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force. A rank normally associated with respect and class by those in the military and outside.
Starting all the way back in RSB days over 20 years ago up through today, you exhibit neither and receive neither for your actions here. It's incessant day in and day out.
Control yourself Lou. Give some honor to the uniform and stripes instead of the direct opposite.

SpiderWebComm said:

Clearly not so? You have got to be kidding me! What word would you use in place of "attacks".

"Treats long time members with courtesy and respect at all times"?

Certainly wasn't the case over at onepocket. Hence the BAN.

Certainly isn't the case here. How about Stan, me, JB, Neil (in the past), cookie, Jay, Geno (the list goes on)

The anti crowd is a very close knit group and well organized.

Go make a post on onepocket. I'd like to see if it comes up.

A real quick search on the forum showed you were BANNED on Sept. 19, 2015 since it was the last post made. Nothing afterwards until April 4, 2019. Over 3 1/2 YEARS. It was your first post back and your last one just about a year ago. Bans don't happen because of being nice and respectful.

I haven't had any ban that long. Not to say I won't because this place is far too volatile.

Yours explained by Admin:

I've also been far more helpful in answering questions to interested participants in aiming than you've EVER been for ANY facet of the game.

If so, post it. Knocking and attempting to destroy something to save someone from a fate as bad of death by CTE isn't helping. THAT is your style and actions for "helping".

Hey Lou, explain what you do in your PSR and how it got developed over the years.

I think I was banned for a much shorter period -- I wasn't checking and when I found out I wasn't banned I just chose to not to post there anyway, same as now.

How about you? How long was the last one? How many total?

6 months. Don't know, don't care. It was in defense of Stan, Hal, CTE users, and myself. All good causes and if it has to be done again, it will.

All of us have been banned. You, PJ, Dan White, JB, Neil, cookie, me, Low...it is what it is. Your side for attacking anything and anybody involving CTE, and us for being reactive to defend ourselves and the system.

CTE is now beyond your control and who uses it. Pros use it, top amateurs in the country, and regular players.

All you are is CTE OWNED! Your minds have been taken over!



As to my PSR, to quote Stan: You'll have to wait for the book. But as my Boswell, you should be able to find my posts going back to RSB in which I wax poetic about the importance of a consistent PSR.

SpiderWebComm said:

I know you talked about the PSR but you never described it when asked. You also said you changed your PSR many times over. Why? What was the missing ingredient. Describe it in detail.

You can't get back to RSB from years ago any longer. It's kaput.

lfigueroa said:

oh, that's right.

We had PJ change the locks on the way out. I think I still have the code to the front door, so give me a minute... here you go, a lot of good info, a lot of old names and friends from long ago. I believe I address PSR somewhere in there.

You may have mentioned it in when you made the "guest appearance" but nothing to explain it, as usual.

However, this was far more beneficial than explaining your PSR.

... I found a slightly arched or convex position better for me. Either way works and one isn't better than another. But what it does do is stop the TWO way screw up and the wrist is more locked in place by setting it that way instead of being loose and floppy.

Check out Jeremy Jones (and SVB to a lesser degree).

AtLarge said:

And I think SVB may be a bit more arched now than he used to be.

Stan advocates that, too, right?

SpiderWebComm said:

Now that's a good link with some decent sh*t in it. You never went through your PSR in a 1-8 (or whatever #) checklist from standing up, to getting every part into position right before pulling the trigger, but some good food for thought.

One area mentioned that I've given a lot of thought to as well as experimentation is the wrist position. I think a lot of players just get down with a flat back of the hand and right wrist and attempt stroking it straight through that way. I used to.

But what I detected, especially when something was really on the line money wise, is the asshole and wrist were tied in together. IOW, puckering asshole syndrome which causes the nerves to jump and body parts to twitch. Namely the wrist.

It could roll or twitch into a bent or concave position or arched in a convex position.
It was a two way potential for throwing everything off into a miss because it changes the shaft angle and tip position coming into the CB at impact.

If I read your post correctly, you prefer a slightly concave position like Keith McCready but probably not as pronounced.

I found a slightly arched or convex position better for me. Either way works and one isn't better than another. But what it does do is stop the TWO way screw up and the wrist is more locked in place by setting it that way instead of being loose and floppy.

I've didn't say I delineated my PSR.

What I said was that you'd find me talking about why a detailed, consistent PSR is essential for most players. And the reason for why I have always demurred on spelling out what I do is because it's different for every player because of different body types -- head, eyes, height, stance, arms, legs, knees, wrists, fingers. (Everyone is different and all of this is the same reason a guy saying that he has a universal aiming system dependent on how people setup and perceive the balls would be highly dubious.) So my detailed PSR would have little value to someone else.

I can agree with that entirely. Although it is yours and yours alone, I'm sure there are a number of members who would like to see if it is similar to what they're doing. That is if they even have an ingrained PSR at all. And you have changed it per your posts. What and why?

As to wrist position, I'm not 100% on the language you're using but to answer your question I've personally found use in a slightly counterclockwise or cocked wrist. I was first shown this eons ago by a very fine player named Dee Hulse in SF and he told me it was shown to him by Eddie "The Knoxville Bear" Taylor.

As far as I'm concerned, the old players from decades ago had more techniques and secrets for everything than the plain vanilla stuff done and taught today.

BTW, your buddy, AH, has a very distinct PSR.

A good bit of what he does is distinct but it certainly has served him well. There is so much locked in his brain it's incredible.
