I just got off the phone with “Little” Joe & we had a discussion about this THREAD. He can't hide the pride he gets from threads like that. I've known Joe for quite a while now & he is genuinely thrilled when people benefit from what he teaches...he's gives so much to the local players & those that buy his DVDs.
Here's another example of Joe's giving nature...Joe has asked me to demonstrate how his 2-rail kicking system works...right here on AZB. I am CONFIDENT that you will be highly-motivated to seek out his coaching or DVDs after this...
The first two diagrams will demonstrate how we calculate (as Joe says: why shoot a guess shot, when you can shoot a calculated shot?) a 2-rail kick using his incredibly powerful system.
First, we need to determine the position of our target & assign it a number. In diagram 2, our target is the pocket marked “D”, which is defined as 7.5 in Joe’s system. It is important to note that the corner pocket is ALWAYS 7.5. The “A” CB is one diamond away from pocket “D” along the short rail, so it is assigned the number 8.5. The “B” CB is one diamond away from pocket “D” along the long rail, so it is assigned the number 6.5. We count by 1’s along these rails…1 diamond adds/subtracts 1 to our target.
Second, we need to determine our CB position & assign it a number. In this example, our “CB” is the 4B which is coincidentally (I was thinking ahead!) four diamonds from the end rail (or corner pocket “F”). In summary, we count the number of diamonds we are away from the corner pocket.
We are nearly there…our last effort is to calculate our target on the first-rail. We start counting by 2’s starting at pocket “C” after we’ve added one to our previous answer (4+1=5 in this case). We find the target on the rail that corresponds to 7.5…and shoot with 10 o’clock, 3rd circle english.
With a little practice, this calculation will become second nature & you will be hitting balls anywhere on the table.
If you have any questions, please...PLEASE call the man himself.
First, I don't want people to think I am taking ANY credit for his system nor do I want people to think I had anything to do with its development. It's his baby & he deserves all the accolades.

) and hit the “A” CB which is on the “8.5” diamond. We find the 8.5 target on the first-rail & fire away with 10 o’clock english.
