Joe Tucker's Aiming "Workout"

I have Joe's aiming workout and use it frequently. It has helped me learn to recognize the contact point on the cue ball. You should always know the contact point on the object ball that's easy, but to learn the contact point on the cue ball is more difficult because you are shooting the ball from the back side. It gives you something to concentrate on and keep focus rather than letting your mind wander away.

The workout is good regardless of what aiming system you use. Most of the shots are difficult enough and if you use the workout enough you will start to see these shots during game play and you'll automatically go AH! I know this shot, it's in the workout!
 
Hmmmmm.......

I know Joe already answered my question, but I wanted to get some other user's opinions on the subject, because obviously he's slightly biased.. hehe, so no offense Joe...

I'm considering getting his "package" deal but had a question about the Aiming System Workout part. Is it worth it if I don't want to learn his aiming system? In other words, for the better player, would just the "Workout" portion of that part be worth it enough to justify getting it, or is it mainly for those interested in using his Aiming system?

I do want the 3rd eye trainer & the Guaranteed Improvement Part. I'm pretty sure I want the Racking Secrets, but I could save like $15-$20 if I skipped the Aiming System Workout portion.

I hope this question makes sense.

I would buy it if it were.....say.......$14 dollars! Can I pay with paypal? Oh yeah........If I still miss my shots, I'm gonna want a refund!

Knowing Joe and his dedication, I would venture to guess that anything he puts out there would be worth it.

Whether or not you intend to use Joe's Aiming System, you'll get something out of the product.
Joe always strives to educate as well as instruct, so while you may not choose his aiming method, you're still bound to learn something useful.

Yeah, thanks for all the responses. I've made up my mind to get the whole package. (no thanks to the rude posters), but many thanks to the rest of you for being genuinely helpful and answering my question.

Wow, Clark. A little sensitive there aren't you? I would think you would be flattered that people actually took the time to read your post and respond.

I didn't read "rude" into ANY of the responses.

Have a great day!

Ray

ps. Joe Tucker stuff is great and a great value!
 
No

Ok, well in your case it was more Sarcasm than rudeness... but whatever...

No, not even sarcasm. Just good ole' fun.

I did notice one poster kinda said you were dumb. I think he was just having trouble getting his point across.

Have a great day!

Check your pm's.

Thanks, I wasn't going to dignify his post with a response, but you're right. I guess to sum it up, there's something called a point of diminishing returns. Whereas, I could spend tons and tons of money on all the latest "aiming systems" and tools, etc, etc, and only be marginally better, and broke. So I was simply looking for an answer to whether his workout was worth the price IF someone chose not to follow his aiming strategy.

I am sorry you feel that way.. I apologize ...

sarcasm is my native language.. perhaps that didn't come through..

from my standpoint I don't aim as well as Joe Tucker I am certain of that.. I don't make as many balls as he does.. so maybe he knows something I don't.. me.. I'd be chomping at the bit to find out what it is..


I know several aiming systems... and I swap between them in certain situations.. and when I can get more than one of them to agree on a stroke line.. I am pretty confident in that line..

more knowledge is never a bad thing..

he has knowledge you want or you would have never posted your question..

I get a crack at Joe Tucker I will suck as much knowledge out of him as I can in the time allotted ... just like I did with RandyG.. and like I plan do do with many other people... including hopefully round two with randy... because I didn't empty that well the first time....



I didn't intend to insult you...

your gonna need a thicker skin if ya want to hang out here...

Absolutely!

Joe Tucker has shown that he can address, the "common sense" side of teaching billiards & pool, in his instruction books & designed training aids. Since most of us are not naturals, we need a little assistance in learning to play the game better & true up our stroke. Keep 'em coming Joe, lots of players need a little more help....
 
I don't know why I bother but....

Well, you did call his statement, "the dumbest thing you've ever heard", which is against the forum rules... so maybe if you want to hang out here, you should abide by the basic guidelines of forum etiquette. See? It works both ways. ;)

Besides, his statement was just a different opinion or philosophy from yours; it doesn't make it dumb. If he only has limited time and money to spend on practice, maybe he intends to focus on his weakest links, and come back later to revisit the aspects of his game that are relatively strong now.

I apologized and sent him some green..

what further punishment is required?

Should I go to NPR and argue until I unite everyone under a single political belief?:thumbup:
 
The book, Racking Secrets, was some of the best money I ever spent on anything to do with Pool. I don't have any of Joe's other stuff, but I can tell you this, if I still lived in NYS, I would have gone to see him personally long ago. I have seen him play, he knows his stuff and I have great respect for him and the knowledge he is willing to share.
