You don't seem like a very happy person.
I pick up on that, too. Loneliness and failure and unresolved issues can be very powerful.
You don't seem like a very happy person.
If you've ever played an entire tournament or match without missing a shot, then you've done it, provided you actually got to shoot. Even if it only occurred that one match or one weekend, you mastered the art of aiming at that time. If you can do it once you can do it again. Not sure about you, but I've done it quite often.
Of course there are mental/emotional roadblocks that come into play at the worse times, like choking, trying too hard, wrong frame of mind, etc.... but these are other elements of the game that must be mastered if you expect to not miss any shots. And keep in mind that in order to "never miss another ball" the player must incorporate knowledge and skill, choosing which shots to shoot and which shots to duck, instead of just firing at every low percentage shot you get. This is all part of the dance, knowing and mastering the moves, being so in tune with your game that you know exactly how to maneuver in every situation.
Careful, he might put you on his "ignore list".
One of the most absurd adages promoted by millennials is that thing about "you can do anything you want to do or be anything you want to be. It is a lie.
A child or an adult can stand in front of a mirror every day for years repeating positive affirmations about "I am eight feet tall and I am the best in the NBA" and they will, in the world of reality, never grow to be eight feet tall.
They can repeat the same things over and over about "I can leap from a 12 story building and fly like a bird"....and when they try it, they will die.
You mislead people when you tell them with your publication that they can "master aiming and never miss another ball". That too is a lie. They will miss balls, no matter what system they use. They can study your system forever, but they're still going to miss balls.
No matter how much you pontificate in an eloquent manner, you are still merely an amateur teaching amateurs to become amateurs.
Furnish videos of you breaking and running racks 50% of the time....otherwise it is just bullfeathers from you in order to sell your books.
The total tonnage of your ignorance and arrogance is enough to sink an ocean liner.
It reads like an unrealistic promise - on an ad for a for-sale product.Brian's statement is a challenge.

Are CTE's claims that it takes you to each shot line entirely objectively with a slight overcut for throw a "challenge" too - or is that misleading advertising?
I like Brian and his product, it's just this one phrase on this one ad that's questionable.

How about Stan's claim that CTE "naturally aligns CB-OB relations as an overcut to the 'ghostball' center for pocketing goals. No judgement, no adjustment"? Is that a "challenge" too - or is that misleading advertising? Goose/gander.

Positive affirmations have a place, but without thousands of hours of quality practice, no one will master anything. It takes hard work to be better than average and 10 times that amount of work to be better than that.
But you are correct that I am an amateur pool player. I do not compete at the pro level because I have not dedicated my life to nothing but pool, which is what it takes to compete at that level. Instead, I actually have a job. Lol
Not sure where you live, but this weekend there's a big 9ball tournament at the 21 Poolroom in Charleston WV. If proof is what you want, come out and watch.

Well, except for the minor detail that it's impossible (you know, over here in the real world).It's just the plain old truth.
It's the title of a review/ad for Poolology....there is no place in Brian's phrase where he conflates mastery and Poolology.

Again, I like Poolology and Brian - I don't want to see him or it misinterpreted.

What happened to you "Mister Never Miss a Ball Again Poolology Man" in the September King of the Hill contest there at that pool room?Ok, but it's the dreaded "king of the hill" format, which is tough. Not sure if you've done one of these or not. It gives weaker players a decent chance to win their table if they draw a good spot. With 4 to 6 players per table, you play "winner stays up" until everyone has 5 loses but one player. It's a huge advantage to draw the last spot or second to last, as long as no one dominates the table. It's not my favorite format, but it's close to the house and the payouts are good.

I don't see your name OR your book mentioned anywhere.
Oh, silly me...you probably were "too busy" to enter that one.:idea2:

hey guys
think about this
how many players in the hall of fame use cte???
my guess not a great majority
but
so what ???
low 500
it doesnt matter (to me) how good bc21 plays or uses his system
or how good you play or use stans system
the idea is whatever system you you use
does it help you pocket balls
so stop the personal attacks please
to both of you
if your system works for you...GREAT...
What is this stuff about "try my best to win"...?My band had a gig that night. Instead of grabbing a pool cue when I left the house I grabbed that sweet Les Paul hanging to the right of my tv.....
I don't make all the tournaments at 21, but I try to make it whenever I'm available. Like I said, it's a tough format. I've placed 2nd and 3rd multiple times but have only won 1st place 2 or 3 times a couple of years ago. Things have been difficult over the last year or so, and it's hard to stay on top of your game when your world has been yanked out from under you. For a while I did absolutely nothing -- no pool, no music. Just felt like nothing was worth doing. But I'll be there Saturday with a positive attitude, and I'll try my best to win, like everyone else there.
What is this stuff about "try my best to win"...?
How can you lose?
YOU are the one who invented a system and published a book about it and on the back cover of your book, you put this statement....about "never miss another ball".
Are you crawfishing now and saying, that with your own system you might miss another ball ?....after you've advertised like that ???
How can this be...you invented the answer to a pool player's dreams didn't you?
This comes from your book, which I read myself. I'm not making this stuff up.
Man, you got a lot of nerve giving me any grief about "personal attacks".hey guys
