Let me just say you arent much of a mathematician.
11-14-1970 to 5-19-2005
Hmmmm
that's 34+ years old. Isn't it?
I don't pretend to be a great teacher. I learned to aim without any "systems"


Whoooopteefuckindooo...... 34,that mean's a lot more now....excuse me.

So...since you learned how to aim...explain it. Tell us exactly what you do.
(I'll bet it falls under a known system)

I'm also still waiting for that straight-in shot explanation from you big mouth.
Let's see you articulate how you line up, aim, and fire at the shot I set up.

No, but the teacher's sure claim it often enough.


name one teacher that claims their system will turn you into a pro player.......

when someone says "you can aim like a pro" that doesn't mean you will be a pro.

its like saying "michael jordan wears nike" just because you do the same thing, doesn't mean you'll be as good.

no teacher i have ever heard of has ever made the claim that they can make you a pro player with an aiming method.

thanks

Yup! :rolleyes:

DM,
What I'm getting at is this.
Maybe I'm not wording it well.
Maybe you're misreading.
Whether you use ghost ball, sectional, etc.........
It's all the same thing!!!!!
To say that by doing anything other than hitting the object ball in ONE place with the cue ball to make it go in a pocket would be ridiculous.

Here is the way I learned.
Point in a line through the object ball to the pocket.
See the point where contact must be made with whitey.
Put whitey there.
Here endeth the lesson.
If you can do this EVERY TIME you will not miss a shot.


DOES ANYONE DISAGREE?????

Ok, you got me.
I over-exaggerated
But, let's just say that they word their sales pitches to give the prospective student dillusions of grandeur. (as all good advertisements do)
"Aim like the pros" is a phrase that can sharply affect the soft-minded

this is what is known as the "exact equal opposite" way of sighting or aiming.

and yes, you can miss a shot doing this.........get yourself a super clean set of balls or a super dirty set of balls........

thanks

I hate to tell you this, but that's a known AIMING SYSTEM that you learned and does in fact have a name. Obviously that's the ONLY one you know since it was the end of lesson.

I don't use ghost ball, sectional and all of the other ones. I use something that you're unfamiliar with because you're basically just a stupid person that doesn't possess any more knowledge than what you explained. It involves something with a parallax view. (that's OK numbnuts..I didn't expect you to know what that meant)

I'm still waiting for your explanation on the straight-in shot...how many times do I have to ask you for your description of EXACTLY what you do to set up to a shot?

Now you are just nit-picking
Now that you have given it a f#@king name, it probably won't work for me anymore.

Oh shit!
Do you have a dirty ball system? :rolleyes:

I've got a system I sometimes use on dirty girls. :D

Agh! Rotating centers!

One day, somebody is going to piss you off enough you're just going to write the whole thing down. Of coure, I'll probably miss it.

:D

First you have to pay me to learn my super secret system.
$30 an hour
That's half of what you might pay somewhere else ;)

LMAO...you'd like to think so. What you are is the village idiot...or the forum idiot, either one. Let's hear the explanation for the straight in shot big mouth...(ooops...forgot that the village idiot can't explain anything of importance) Here's an ode to Bazooka Joe, the village idiot.

Under the yawning chestnut tree
the village idiot sat...
amusing himself by abusing himself
and catching his "love" in his hat.

Go to it jerkoff, that's about all you're good for. LMAO

I sincerely HOPE I miss it.

Let's overcomplicate the whole idea of hit the ball here and it goes there.
Most people who buy into these systems don't understand that it's their stroke that sucks, and not the way they are aiming.
 
STOP

I'd like everyone to note that I stay calm.
While my bitch "drivermaker" angrily resorts to name calling.

WOW!
In a matchup, I could really get in your head.

Thank you good folks,

PLEASE CONTINUE
