A Plea to Mike Howerton...

Hit 'em with the roach spray and see what happens. Oh, that's right, the moderators do that already. :ignore:
I wondered how far I would have to read down to find someone that would finger the real problem.
There are so many entrench posters here with self-esteem issues, they can't pass up a chance to disagree.
I've opened "view all post by ______" many times, sometimes I don't see a single post that isn't some sort of a dig or off hand remark. They contribute nothing but disagreement.
Anyone here should be able to watch the top 10 players over the last few years and see there is no one type of equipment or technique you could point to that says, there's the golden answer to everyone's question or problem. Nuff said.
Just open find all quotes by ______ and look at their post for last few days.
Pretty dam simple to see that some have nothing but negative remarks.
Bless you, Mike! When you come in here tonight, I think I'll give you a big Sloppy kiss! Well, maybe not. Donna would be sure to be jealous.

I also think that having an aiming sub-forum would be beneficial to AZB. Since aiming is a very popular topic, it makes a lot sense to group the aiming threads together by association.
For those rabid posters who like to argue over the minutia of aiming as well as propose silly bets where the loser gets tasered, they would at least be cordoned off in the aiming sub-forum. In the aiming subforum, these folks can argue to their heart's content and preserve the sanctity of the Main Forum.

Be careful what you wish for, Allen. For the very rope you wish for, may be formed into a noose that hangs you.
Creation of the subforum also carries with it its own bear-trap teeth. Go into that forum looking for trouble, and that trap will snap closed around your ankles.
Just a friendly warning,

although i dont mind being exhibit A.......
the tone of my post is a result of asking in total sincerity for an understandable explanation of cte on a couple of cte threads and NEVER ONCE RECEIVING A SINGLE REPLY OR ACKNOWLEDGEMEMT OF MY QUESTION. not a single person would stop arguing with the idiot of their choice long enough to respond. so, as a result, cte is simpy a load of nonsense to me. if no-one can explain it or agree about it, whats the point? so how does cte work? can anyone agree long enough to tell me?

What I wish for Sean is that any forum have a level playing field. As an example, posters that propose silly bets that involve tasering the loser are not really contributing anything substantive. Or a different example might be posters who carpet bomb the thread and destroy it. And don't forget about the yeahsayers who like to call people names and engage in ad hominem attacks on naysayers.
Everyone should respect and adhere to the forum rules no matter which forum the aiming threads are in.
I feel you pain man! Tough to digest really. Have you looked at Mohrt's Billiards the Game blog site? Check this out - may help; it totally opened my eyes. Mohrt's Blog on pivoting
There it is!:smile:
My thanks as well RobMan. Thats more information on one page than I've gathered browsing the threads out of curiosity here.
Aiming systems are not for me, I've been watching balls roll for to many years, I don't need an 8 step procedure to know where to hit the ball to pocket it.
You are quite welcome; although the kudos go to Mohrt for posting. He also links to Spidey's blog which explains the pivot nicely.
I too have been playing for many a year, but found that incorporating this pre-shot routine definitely helped my consistently. Also, long cut shots for me are MUCH more consistent that prior. Eyes aren't what they once were, and this system helps me. I also have been incorporating it into my bank routine with decent results.
I do get a lot of people asking what the hell I'm doing with the manual pivot!

I going to print the page out and try it, it may be helpful on a shot I know I'm week on seeing.
A shot routine is important as well, a few years ago I gave up using one of those stick chalk holders and keep my chalk in just the leather holder that I sit on the rail like any other piece of chalk. That amounted to returning to my shot routine I had used for years it is simply more comfortable "natural".
I started using one because everyone else had one but it was a change in my long used routine and hardly worth sitting on my chalk between rounds lol.
