Aiming - what does Efren know, that no one else does ?

'Playing the Game Therefore is the Teacher'

Nice! I've read a few books by Al Huang. I'll have to check that one out as well. He is very inspiring. I studied Tai Chi with Tom Tunney, one of Al's senior students. I don't know if Mr. Huang plays billiards, but if he does, I'm sure he looks at it as a dance rather than a competition. I know it is for me.

I cannot recommend the practice of Tai Chi and other internal martial arts (I know CJ studied Baqua) too highly. They will energize you, bring mental and physical balance to you, quiet your mind, and help you tap into a hidden inner power source that most folks don't know is there. It will definitely improve your game, and most other things in your life.

Yes, when I first met my martial arts instructor I was already one of the top ten players in the United States. I told him "I already have the mental strength, I'm looking for the physical strength now in my life," he looked me straight in the eye and said "you can't have the mental strength without the physical strength."

The way he said this made me "real eyes" he was right, and if I would have argued, my act of argument would have proven me wrong. The deep meaning is "physical experience is the best teacher, not mere contemplation".

Well Sloppy,

Al Hjung imo is one of the rare *genius authors*. He really has a great writing style in his books. And from my expirience students with a *serious material arts background* have a big advantage with practicing. The expirience they made there, will help them through their whole life.
The book *thinking body, dancing mind* is a help for your whole life...not just for billiards

have a smooth stroke,
Ingo

direct your eyes and pre program the shot as much as possible before you get down

C.J.
I am a 75 year old man in very good physical shape and I still have 20/20 vision and do not wear glasses.
I've always been a 'fair' shortstop, but in the last 30 days I've been working with your 'touch of inside' thing and my game has skyrocketed.
I always aimed in the air before going down to get in position as that was taught to me by Danny Jones here in Atlanta wayyyy back in 1959.
But, I don't think anything I've ever worked with (including Wimpy's line on the ferrule method) has been of greater value than this TOI of yours and I salute you for revealing it to the pool players of the world.
Those who will work with it for maybe 40 hours will immediately feel it kick in and then the fun comes in....seeing those balls scurry dead center into the pocket.
I submit that it is simply murder on those long shots where the CB is stuck on the rail and you KNOW you got to make that shot for the gelt.
You're quite a young man...good luck to you in all your future endeavors.
Thanks again.

Yes, this "stoking in the air" before you get down reminds me of something I use to get a student's eyes aligned to their tip BEFORE they get down on the shot.

I notice many amateurs and "short stops" look at the shot, then get down without paying attention to their tip. The tip AFTER they get down is their primary focus - doesn't it make sense to at least be aware of where your tip is before hand?

You'll notice many champion players stroke the cue in the air and actually look at their tip, then when they get down on the shot they've unconsciously Pre Programmed their eyes to automatically go back to the tip when they're down on the cue ball.

This is a bigger "pool tip" than you may "real eyes". I suggest experiencing what it's like to actually direct your eyes and pre program the shot as much as possible before you get down to shoot."Begin the shot with success in mind." 'The Game is the Teacher'
