I kind of skimmed through it, but it looked like basic fundamental stuff, only with a German accent.
The part about the stance reminded me of a video made by another German instructor. I think JAM provided that one.
Anyway, thanks for the info. Basic fundamentals are the cornerstone to any endeavor, be it pool, competitive shooting, golf, or drinking beer with your friends where the relationship of elbow to face is all important. :)

I like the German way of teaching and explaining things. Not just with pool. I expect some excellent material from this guy.

I sure like the way Ralph Eckert teaches. He's got an easy-going but self-assured way about him and he can swing a cue pretty good too.

I like the fact that you bring up the thoughts that might be going through a player's mind when getting up off the shot, in order to re-position themselves for a more perfect alignment.

In early years of playing, I was a bit self conscious about such things but as you discussed, this is what the professional players do. So, if it is good enough for the greats, then it should be good enough for me.

Hi Joey, glad that you like it! Of course I could ship signed copies, but shipping might be more expensive since I'm in Germany. Just send me a PM if you're interested, I'm happy to get a shipping quote.

..ooouh, this closed bridge of yours is going to take some work.
Looking at the photo illustration even has pain to look at, the fingers
on the table look as if they are separated from your knuckles.
It is going to take some finger extending exercises to get this to work.
Other than this little bit of pain, I’m taking in all of your points with good results,
I like, thanks

Glad you finally posted the next chapter. #5

Chapter #11 is late, not a problem and, it's good for me - taking en little at a time. Just a friendly bump for the author to know that there is an interest in his work.
