I had hoped we could have a discussion. I have nothing to sell. I speak of my methods with the idea of providing an honest view point.But you write a great deal.
I realize my previous post was a little verbose. Well for me.
I was hopeful that you could explain your position.
My position is that both methods work. Each individual should chose what works best for them. I have experience with both. My conclusion applies to me and it is that object ball last provided my best shot making. Cueball at contact providing the best cueball control. The shot making difference is very slight but with better cueball control I face fewer difficult or rescue shots. With Ronnie's statement from a decade ago of it could be either, I wonder if he does change the eye pattern depending on the shot.
I have the utmost respect for Barry Stark and attribute some of my latest improvement to his teachings. He teaches object ball last. That's one thing I disagree with. So 99.9 percentage agreed is fine with me and I would recommend his teaching.
A brief disclaimer: I was a much younger man when shooting object ball last. Stronger and with more endurance. Consecutive recovery shots were often required. So my earliest success I can attribute to bottle. Now older and wiser, I control the white rock better. How does that saying go?
My favorite proverb said:Old age and treachery will overcome youth and exuberance.
