I miss CJ posting here...we argue a little but we can get along.
He said once that he would love to have a coffee with me and just talk.

Well, Mr Potter, I would like you to be included in that conversation.


..but don't bring Dean...you just KNOW he'll end up bustin' all three of us...:eek:

I talked to him this mourning. I called him to see if he knew how to post a picture that
I took with my phone as an avatar. Since he is so much better than me at this sort of
thing. He said he doesn't even know how to take a picture, and thought avatar was
some kind of fancy hors d'oeuvres made out of fish brains. Then he starts telling about
all these cool new cues he has. So, I know where this is going, he wants me to test
them all for 3 or 4 months as is the norm. Well being the old friend that I am, I agree.
Now get this, he says drive to Dallas and check them out. What an ingrate, I should
drive over 100 miiles on my own gas money to do him a the favor of borrowing his
cues. Some people

Why not a Touch of High, or perhaps a Touch of Low?

I sometimes think this TOI or TOO stuff just corrects bad perception issues. In any, case a player should know how to use a Touch of Anything when the shot calls for it.

Objectively, good or bad perception could widely cover several fundamental areas. To clarify, not sure whether you mean issues with perception of the CB-to-OB shot line as it relates to pre-shot alignment? Basic perception of the amount of cut necessary for a given shot (or intended part of the pocket)? Pre-shot perception of the likely influence of any intended english you're going to apply? Any of the dreaded "vision center"/eye dominance issues?

I think more than TOI that CJ was trying to let us know that it takes a certain stroke to execute TOI properly.
Hitting the cue ball with TOI using a loose grip, gimpy wrist and a long follow through, is nothing more than inside english.
TOI requires the "hammer stroke", the "cocked wrist" and "acceleration at the cue ball".

Just my 2 cents worth.

Yeah, he's right no more questions allowed on here. If you are interested in something,
too bad take it down the road. As a matter of fact a player should know about which
cue is best, chalk, everything. And don't be asking these pro players about something
that seems different than what most people do, like playing almost every shot with
TOI like C.J. and how Bill uses it to aim then changes to TOO if that's what the shot
calls for. STOP IT TOP RIGHT NOW.

I think questions are great. Becauuuuuuuse, some of the greatest players in the history of the game have espoused theories that turned out to be wrong. And do you know who have been the guys that discovered and proved they were wrong? Amateur players who asked questions ;-)

lol, take your pick.

Personally, I also believe that some players are unfamiliar or just unaccustomed to using much inside. So they work on applying it and learn new stuff that those that have always used inside (as well as outside) already knew. IOWs, there's nothing more special about inside than there is about outside. But a "TOI" does sound cool (and helps sell DVDs).

first person to post up a video of themselves making 10 spot shots in a row striking the CB in the same spot each time using TOI I will personally mail you a $10 Starbucks card and I will bow to the temple of TOI each morning for 30 days as per the sacred scrolls recently discovered in a basement in Dallas.
