newspaper article about me

Our local newspaper did a story on me. It's on the internet also. Check it out at this link: http://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100708/SPORTS/7080327
Let me know what you think.

Congrats, Jesse. You deserve it.

In regards to the Guinness Book of World Records, I thought (although I might be mistaken) that Leon Yonders had that (and it was something crazy like WELL over 100, maybe 200). I'm not sure if he was jacked-up or not. Who knows - it might not have been verified. Does anyone know??

Brilliant! Wow! That is so cool. Pool needs more of this kind of publicity! Good for you, and congratulations!

Thanks! That would be an amazing feat for Yonders if it was true! It might take me a while to run over a hundred jacked up.

Thanks! I agree, the most exciting part for me is if someone who never stepped into a pool hall checks it out now and falls in love with this amazing game!

Outstanding

Congratulations. Great story and better to post it back here.

Now you will be able to buy that cue that you wanted and possibly add some to your bank account. Nice to make money on what you love.

Outstanding.

Now do you have some pointers, that is in addition to using Kamui Tips?

I made an unintended post in the Ask the Instructor section.

Jacked Up

This was 2 or 3 months back.

Your avatar and the picture in the newspaper are the same shot over the same rack of balls but from two different angles. Just an observation. :smile:

Thanks. I've only started posting and doing videos 1 month ago. If you were talking about pointers for one handed....The best advice I can give is to lock your elbow and swing the cue using just your shoulder, it's much more accurate that way. Hold the cue slightly behind the balance point so it hangs forward and extend that grip point farther back the harder you need to hit the ball. It works best for me to hold the tip above and behind the cueball then swing it forward and drop it into the cueball using just your wrist and shoulder. It's similar to a Mike Davis stroke, if you've ever seen him play. lol

Yes, there were two guys taking my picture that day. Very observant, grasshopper. There was a second camera man on the grassy knoll to the northwest side.
