I got the privilege of shooting with a old timmer yesterday that has been shooting for 60 years.
Local bank player like most of the old fellas in my area.
I play him in some 8 ball and 9 ball and bank.
I did get the opportunity to run out on 8 ball couple racks and one 9 ball rack.
After we were done and he was showing us a few trick shots i ask him what he thought about my game and anything i should focus on.
He mentioned that i use english to much. He explained that when i get shape to try to get shape in my patterns for natural angles.
He also said that he uses english but not to extreme. He knew of guy that uses no english at all. I remember 15 years ago another guy telling the only english used was center top, bottom, and center.
Are there players out there that use no english and can run racks or play good enough safetys that they still win majority of there matches?
Thanks
