aiming (the technique I was tought)

You don't know the difference between "techniques or systems" and "drills and practice"? Is English your first language?



If you ever make another good point, we'll see.

Well, I have as many rep points as you do so "good points" are in the eye of the beholder.

As for YOUR first language, if you can't discern that "drills" and "practice" (the methods thereof) can be TAUGHT as a central component of teaching "techniques or systems" then I am sure you were promoted in your highschool english classes just to get rid of you.

THAT is why your comment was a "distinction without a difference.

A distinction without a difference is a type of argument where one word or phrase is preferred to another, but results in no difference to the final outcome. It is particularly used when a word or phrase has connotations associated with it that one party to an argument prefers to avoid.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinction_without_a_difference

But you are irrevocably on record as holding the view that sytems/techniques cannot be taught AT ALL let alone via the mechanisms of drills and practice methods.

Byrne (and numerous other legendary TEACHERS) devote entire chapters to practice methods in an effort....ummmm....TO TEACH THEM!

Your are getting in WAY over your head Patrick.

Thinking isn't a part of the estimating I'm talking about. It's done subconsciously.

OK. That bit about the earth being round and pool balls being round too sounded a lot like his numerological ramblings.

__________________________________________________________


So the earth and pool balls being round is founded in NUMEROLOGY????????

ROFLMAO! (-:

"Numerology is any of many systems, traditions or beliefs in a mystical or esoteric relationship between numbers and physical objects or living things. ..."

Yup..that "earth is round" nonsense sounds pretty mystical and esoteric doesn't it? At least it did...oh...around the 15th century.

Just as nonsensical as that gibberish and balderdash about a ball that is struck by another ball rolling without motion about its vertical axis (at most angles) will not travel along the line of centers between them.

POPYCOCK! Burn the fools who would repeat such preposterous notions at the stake! Or...better yet, fund their voyages into the nether regions because they will fall off the edge of the earth and never return thus saving the fuel required to burn them...while at the same time, reducing the excess population!

Wait! No! Strike that last part...that thought won't exist for another several centuries! But...hold it...maybe it is already in my subconscious mind and I just don't realize it.

NO, I was right the first time. There is no subconscious thought so...book it Danno...But wait...no...Danno doesn't exist yet either and neither does Hawaii...well some people THINK there is a Hawaii and maybe there is but the idiots will never find it because they will develop a geometrically derived path towards it but the wind will blow them WAY off course!!

Good point. Although there are no speed control techniques or systems that can be taught (that I know of), there are good drills and practice methods for it that can be taught.

Hmmmm. I just thought about the half ball hit.

The final destination of the cue ball and the object ball can be accurately determined by utilizing the half ball hit. Whereas, both balls travel the same distance.

Knowing they'll travel the same distance is helpful info, but it doesn't help you predict how far that will be.

In the (poll) thread you're thinking of I objected to parallel aiming being included on a list of squirt compensation methods. You might notice that my list is a list of aiming methods. When will you learn this distinction - today?

When will you learn to read a little bit?

Pardon me for introducing something unfamiliar like factual information, but:

The name of the thread was 'Aimming Poll'

(copied and pasted<text only> from the initial Post):

What aiming system do you use
Back Hand English (you pivot your grip hand)
Front Hand English (You pivot your bridge hand)
Parrallel aiming (your whole cue moves left or right)
Other system
Feel / subconscious aiming
.........................................................................

Do you now understand the subject was Aimming?

Where was ther ever a list of squirt compensation techniques.
Will you ever understand the difference?

Seems you were just soooo anxious to hijack the thread
the subject morphed inside your head.

Are you still deluded that was an aiming thread? As I pointed out to you over there, Backhand English and Fronthand English are squirt compensation techniques, not aiming systems. A lot of that thread was arguing over whether or not "Parallel Aiming" should be off the poll because it was an aiming system. Even the original poster never talked about aiming.

Did you actually read any of the thread while you were in it?

When did you get appointed the person in charge of definitions.
Using english is individual preference, English usage isn't.

Everyone else but you seems to agree that BHE, FHE, etc...
are a type of compensation method, that are ONE, but only One
part of an aimming technique/method, or as some prefer, system.

How about a list of all the other people who have ever stated
BHE<or whatever> is NOT a part of aimming.

Dale<who wonders how one could employ BHE without aimming>
