I would be scared facing you just by the look, you look like a "sniper" in that pic:wink:
The match is almost won before the game has started.....
Take care CJ, you are doing a great job imo!
Btw - have you sent my DVD´s out?

I am one of your biggest fans since the '94 '95, Love your style of play and everything.
I saw the video and I kinda got the idea of TOI, but let me ask a question, will the same result be applied to the Touch of outside, instead of the inside, here's why I am asking you this, for me it's been for a very long time that I prefer pocketing balls using outside english, I think for me it helps making the shot easier, more comfortable to make, by throwing it to the opposite direction, for example. if I have to cut the ball to the left to make it, I would apply right side English, this always help me throw the ball to the left and making it easier to make.
Does this sound like the touch of inside but the opposite of it, like "touch of outside" ? and for me to be honest i find that making balls with inside english is very difficult specially on certain shots, I always try to avoid playing inside english whenever I can.
I understand your question and can relate to how you're playing. For some reason it's a natural tendency to want to spin shots in with outside "helping" English. This technique is very useful, especially if you're trying to change the natural angle of the cue ball after contact. There's another way to do it more effectively, however, to do this you must master a shot so you can hit the three parts of the pocket accurately. Let's get specific.
There are three {main} calculations you make to be accurate using "outside English," 1st) - you must judge the immediate deflection - 2nd) - you must judge how much the spin brings the cue ball "back" to it's original "shot line". - 3rd) - you must decide where to hit the cue ball to accomplish the intended shot. (these calculations are related, but not necessarily connected like they are with the TOI Technique)
You will find it's necessary to hit these shots at a variety of speeds and a variety of spins to do what you need with the cue ball. This takes a LOT of different calculations because speed effects deflection AND spin. Where you hit the cue ball and how far over to cue your "outside English" also effects deflection AND spin.
Over the course of hours, you will have to make numerous calculations and instinctive judgments to make every shot as planned. With the 'Touch Of Inside' system of play I am showing you how to reduce the amount of calculations and instinctive judgments considerably. When you get this technique, you, {like me} will feel like every shot is straight in with moderate adjustments.
The TOI Technique shows you how to hit one "theme" of speeds, one "theme" of spins, and one "theme" of deflection. I have played many players in my life and the only concern I had was if they would play long enough. Because, even though this edge against other accomplished players may be only 1-2%, it will show up and be a deciding factor over time.
If you're cutting a ball at a "half ball" angle down the rail to the left and using "outside" (right English") your cue ball will immediately deflect into the object ball slightly. To overcome undercutting it you will need to spin the cue ball to make it curve back and the spin will help cut it in. This may "FEEL" like it's helping the cut, but IS IT REALLY?
You are having to hit the speed correctly, the spin correctly, the contact point (shot line) correctly and hit the cue ball precisely to do this. I'm sure you do this very well, but how about under pressure? How do you make all these calculations playing a champion player? This is where your unconscious will start to falter and break down.
You are simply over whelming yourself with these calculations and when you add pressure? I don't know, how does it effect you, do you play better or worse? How about over the course of a 5-10 hour set, do you rely on your game to get better and better or do you have "ups and downs?" With the TOI Technique I teach players how to use (as much as possible, of course there's exceptions, but less that you may think) ONE PREFERRED SPEED - ONE SHOT ANGLE REFERENCE (center or edge) - ONE TIP TARGET (the "Touch" of Inside). The Touch Of Inside Technique of play blends these three factors into one powerful system.
The one thing you have to be careful of {using TOI} is overcutting the ball, however, if you're going to miss a shot would you rather over cut it or under cut it? I don't know about you, but when I under cut a shot I feel like a "dogged it," however, when I over cut a shot I feel like I know what I need to do to correct it right away. This is a POSITIVE side effect of using TOI.
TOI increases consistency, which strengthens confidence and makes your Game strong, reliable, and intimidating. 'The Game is the Teacher'
Hey CJ.....this is Al from Bumpers in Hoover..... David has been practicing your touch of inside..... I want the DVD.....or the downloads?....so where can I get a copy......205-266-4059
Thanks man,

I read your post and I too use a little outside english to cut certain shots as Buddy Hall would say a little Helping english .This is known as throw.. but what CJ is talking about is a little different in that when he is cutting a ball to the right and uses a touch of right side english.. he is deflecting the cue ball to the left and using deflection as a helping method.This is my understanding.
Please confirm: 5 dvds for $70 = 3 separate instructional presentations? One is a 3-dvd set?
thanks
