HOW TO AIM … The “AIMING SYSTEM” of the PROS

Good video buuut.....

You make a claim -- "this is how pros aim."

Then you fail to support that with any information from pros. I know they tend to be hard to nail down on this subject but your statement could be more accurate. I know....I know...that wouldn't be as attention grabbing.

I don't disagree with anything of substance in the video and they are always well down.

Very nicely done, Dave! Thank you for another great video. I like how well organized and well laid out the information is.
For me, it's a great reminder to practice a good pre-shot routine. I tend to rush aiming while standing, and I end up paying for it!

Thank you, and you're welcome. I hope the reminders help.

I have talked to many pros and top players over the years about how they aim, but the answers are rarely very "informative" or "useful" (or even accurate at times). I did originally plan to include lots of clips of pro players showing how they do everything mentioned in the video, but ain't nobody got time for that. :geek:

All kidding aside, I honestly did the demonstrations myself so I could get all the exact camera angles, views, and close-ups I wanted to best illustrate everything.

Yes, it's aiming, but more like a collection of observations from Dr. Dave, as opposed to a particular system that is being marketed IMO
Seems harmless enough.

Well stated. That's why I thought it was OK to include it in the Main Forum. But I honestly did suspect that it might unfortunately cause a “reaction” from a few "aiming system" folks.

I love the videos where Dave plays the doofus character. Wouldn’t it be funny if you met him in person and found out this is his actual personality and Dr. Dave is just a character he created for YouTube?

Thanks for another good video, Dave.

Such innocence. You knew exactly what was going to happen which is why you did it and will leave it here.

Couldn't you classify every method that now exists as an aiming system nothing more than observations in the beginning?

But he does market various segments of pool on his website that are marketed. Lessons aren't free. This draws others to the forum.

So, are you saying certain aspects of aiming whether a "system" or description can in fact be harmFUL? Why even have an Aiming Forum then? Oh wait, I know. It's only for CTE users or discussions about it.

Concerning pool, there really isn't a difference. But DAM is neither. It is just a silly name I made up as a title under which I could summarize all the things pros do to aim so effectively (without using an "aiming system").

That makes sense, I was afraid you were pulling an "Animal Farm" dissonance on us.

Uh web,
In this instance, Dr. Dave clearly states that the collection of observations that he posts in this specific thread, are observations that he has gathered over many hours of watching OTHER pool players. He does not try to pass them off as his own...nor is he requesting compensation.

There are very simple remedies to situations like this in life. If you don't want to view the free content that DD has posted, then simply DON'T watch. I'm sure that there are more than a few novice, perhaps even advanced/intermediate players, who will enjoy getting a chance to take a look at something that might improve their skill level, which ultimately translates into an increased enjoyment level...Unless of course, you're a masochist who enjoys countless hours of racking balls.

Bottom line, unless Mike says otherwise, I have zero issue with the content, or it's placement...
Best regards
