It's not the system used, but how the system is used

Not sure of the intent of posting runs using xxx system is, but if it is to imply that using xxx system will enable to do high runs, nothing could be further from the truth.

The truth is that it is not the system being used, but all about how well you use your system of choice.

If you want to use high runs as a indicator of what system to use, than I will use the method that Babe Cranfield used since unofficially ran over 700 balls on a 41/2 x 9 ft table.

Don't get me wrong, high runs in 14.1 are wonderful thing to do and see, but what aiming method used plays such a very little part in those runs.

The system I use is objective and it makes huge difference in my output of putting balls in the hole.

duckie, I can see how someone can be a zealot/fanatic about their own system. However, I struggle to see how someone can be so dedicated to negating the validity of other systems. Do you get a kick back from Ghost Ball LLC or something?

Dude, if Ghost Ball works for you, by all means use it. I happen to think it sucks the big one but I don't really care, I'm more focused on a system, or systems, that I believe are capable and valid.

You're the flag bearer here for Ghost Ball. You have stated many times the incredible number of hours you put in on the table. One would think you must be quite capable given your superior aiming system and substantial hours. Why don't you agree to meet Stan at a neutral site where there is a 9' Diamond available. You guys can play a match to determine which system is superior. How about 9 ball, 14.1 and banks? Given your superior system and substantial practice time, I'd expect you should give Stan some weight. However, I for one will stake Stan/Pro One to $1,000 in this match even up.

There it is rubber duckie. Put up or shut up.
 
More importantly, how much effort one puts into said system. So post your 100 ball run duckie, you must do this daily?
 
He spent over 1600 hours a year in that poolroom and nobody knew him?

We didn't have a specific time setup. I showed up at the weekly 9-ball tournament, I asked around and no one knew a "Glen H", and I had him paged. Must not have been there. :shrug:

Don't be too hard on duckie. ;) he's already seeing "ghosts".

I see his name is "Greg H" and not "Glen H", I think I misspoke. I know I used the right name, I looked it up here just before asking. It won't matter, he is notorious for starting a flame thread and never replying.

I consider all "systems" to just be different ways to visualize the same thing. Since pool, like everything else, is governed by physics.......its no mystery what has to happen for the balls to go in the hole.

That being said, let me get this straight.........you are claiming the way a person VISUALIZES all or most of their shots, has "VERY LITTLE" to do with running balls???? Does a ball making genie just appear and help them out?

Who do you do QA for......hostess?

(I apologize to all(well most of you) for being such a smart ass in these threads, but this guy is just unreal)

It's not just you. He could be so much better than he is if he'd just entertain the thought that perhaps there's better instructional material/training aids that came out after the 1950s, but he's too stubborn to accept that.

Ok, but if the ONLY difference is the choice of aiming method and performance increases then what do you say?

How do you know that the aiming method plays very little part? If you think aiming methods are of so little value why are you here in the aiming section of the forum trying your best to discredit any that are not what you use?

The fact is that you don't know what benefit aiming methods have because you are a very bad player at the moment and you also don't know any other methods than Ghost Ball. So you talking about about what is and is not important while playing pool is like me talking about what is and is not important when racing cars. Namely I have no clue about racing and you have no clue about pool.
 
Why is Ducky here.....

There really is no point in responding to Duckie anymore Ala "feeding the troll" He is only here to see what he can stir up and he has no intention of ever getting into a discussion.

Right now based on some information by mohrt, I am truly beginning to wonder if he spends as much time in a poolroom as he has previously advertised. It might be worth a phone call during the day to Edgies in Milpita's to talk to the day-person to see if they know duckie.;)

I mean he should not be hard to spot, especially with paper arrows all over the table. ;)

How about we all collectively agree to ignore him? Not put him on ignore but simply to never ever respond to anything he writes.

I vote that each time any of us responds we have to go and do Colin's shot making test five times.

That way if we do have a moment of weakness it will result in us getting better as players. And should we ever find ourselves in Milipitas we won't have to Duckie anyone :-)

I vote we have something like a "swear jar." Each time someone responds to duckie, you owe the jar 50$.

I will reluctantly take one for the team and hold said jar. :thumbup:

Actually I almost suggested this as well but I am afraid it would lead to Duckie trying harder to antagonize the forum. I am beginning to think that he and Pocket Point are roomies.
