I really can't beleive this thread... this is absolutely ridiculous.
Can threads be locked and removed for shear stupidity as well?

It was only a matter of time before Travis entered this thread...
...and thanks for the laugh Travis!
quite a stretch
are you kidding?
DrCue'sProtege said:they are all messed up, no wonder she's been struggling until here of late.
i was watching a tape of her from a couple of years ago, and i noticed she was taking anywhere from 5 to 8 to 6 warm up strokes before firing. its that inconsistency that has caused the problems with her.
now that i've taken my lesson i can see the problems she is having. i guess i am going to have to email her, and let her know that i can help her, and fix her mechanical inconsistencies.
but then again, looks like someone may have beat me too it with her wins in the last two events...........
DCP
are you kidding?
I don't like the way this thread has gone.
What's wrong with DCP suggesting that he thinks there is an issue with Allison's mechanics? For the many who found it appropriate to simply attack his credentials to evaluate the matter, I say that this was not necessary.
I recall watching a NY Mets baseball game in April and noticed that David Wright's swing had a slight upper cut to it, that his swing mechanics looked different than in 2006. About three nights later, Mets TV broadcaster Keith Hernandez made the same observation. Wright worked it all out and he's having a great year. What's my point? Simply, that, while I have absolutely no credentials to evaluate the swing mechanics of a baseball player, it is not impossible for me to make an accurate observation on the subject....... even though the last organized level of competitive baseball in which I participated was little league.
Here on AZB, if you have an opinion that you wish to share with other forum members, you post it. If your opinion has holes in it, the replies you get will allow you to learn enough to reevaluate, and possibly modify, that opinion.
The online mockery of DCP that has taken place in this thread was both unnecessary and inappropriate, at least in my view. He is entitled to his opinion and permitted to share it.

Sjm
is right, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and to a degree DCP is right, but it not her mechanics that are off. Any effect on her mechanics is because the Snooker stance is not body friendly. A Snooker stance does not maintain the straight lines that a Pool stance does.
A Pool stance, by being at a 45 degree angle to your cue, when you bend over at the waist, keeping your back straight (straight line) will put your chin aligned with your cue, if you are standing the proper distance from the cue, that is.
People that stand in a Snooker stance will tend to, over time, bend their backs, have to contend with cue being too close to their hip joint which affects the stroke, and they have to adjust their bodies for aiming since
their head normally falls beside their cue, and not directly over their cue.
Allison's shoulder and neck problems in the past are just proof on this.
It's kind of like having pains all the time, and then going to a chiropracter, and they put your bones and muscles into alignment thereby relieving the pain you have been feeling. Although, one may be able to continue ignoring the little growing painfuls signs when you are young and strong, they tend to catch up with you when you become older.
There are many athletes in any sport that don't perfect form, and they may be really good, but don't think they don't have problems because of it either, because they do.
The Pool stance was standarderdized to have straight body and form lines (the simpliest way), and to put any pressure on joints and not muscles, because muscles fatigue, joints don't. So, if you are bullheaded, and want to do things 'your way', that's okay, just don't start crying down the road
about 'certain shots' you can't make, or the pains you seem to have all the time from shooting, you did it to yourself.

nice informative post snapshot.
also sjm, you make a very good point, but the problem is DCP was taking the piss and not being serious. which has touched a few nerves lol.
personally i think DCP is just starting to crack up.

You people are suckers. The mad attention ho sets out more bait and you'all bite like you haven't eaten in days. 
Sheesh .

Yes, he is. DCP -- the original poster -- says later on that he was in fact kidding. You fell for his "joke."kildegirl said:
