But you will never be a top level race car driver without knowing how a cars works, how suspension changes affects the handling of the car, understanding of the tire traction circle, and on and on and on.
You'll be back in the pack trying to figure out how come you can't keep up with the front runners.
Cookie man, if there were one chance in a thousand that these exchanges might bridge the differences between the pro-cte and contra-cte sides, I'd probably continue the conversation. But you and I know it won't. So I'll bow out at this point. No offense, I hope.

I think the know it alls have chased away another pro. Where are you, CJ?
Ignore the chatter. Let's move on with the mental aspect.

No you'll be in the back with the rest of the scientist, pad and paper in hand, puzzled look on face, watching the winners do their thing, all the while saying it can't be done.

Mike,
I certainly understand why a younger Pro would run from here as if it were a flesh eating diease. But CJ being a bit older, (no offense CJ), can stick it out a bit longer. But I have no doubt that it will get old & tiresome & he will take the high road to greener pastures.
I for one will certainly regret when that happens, as in my 4 months here, the only info of value to me & my game as come from CJ.
Regards
Rick
Jim, was it you who figured out the limits of " The Mullen Method
If so I need some information
Thanks
:withstupid: That's funny, it reminds me of one time when I was a kid my chain fell off of my bike....as I was trying to get it back on one of the kids that was "mentally challenged" came by and stopped.....he looked at me, then at the chain and said "it'll never work, it's not use, give up", paused for another few moments, then rode off into the sunset :shrug:
... your inside spin to increase the pocket size. ...
Rick.
It's been a pleasure to read your posts. They're honest and informative.
Best,
Mike
I think you'll find that CJ won't agree with the term "inside spin" as it relates to his 3-part pocket technique.
...The other half we haven't got into yet, but it's the same concept, but with playing shape/position. When you play Zones for shape you also want to be able to take half the "magin of error" "out of play"....maybe I'll start to explain how this works if anyone's interested.....or you can contact me by clicking the ATHLETE Link below for private questions.
No doubt! I spoke to a pro friend of mine (that you know btw) about your inside spin to increase the pocket size. He is unconsciously steering to inside spin both ways and can't figure out why. He said your method is "HUGE", and answers a lot of questions for him. Thanks, CJ!

Right now this thread ranks #3 on the list of pool-related threads.Please do it publicly, CJ; I'm sure many of us would be interested. Better start a new thread, though.
Yes, indeed, inside english will cause you to undercut balls once in awhile and that's what you're trying to eliminate entirely.....the world's greatest golfers speak in terms of "taking half the course out of play"....this analogy I would agree with, and I do think of taking the undercut's out of play....when I'm matched up really tough I may not undercut a ball in 20 hours of play....and within a few hours I won't over cut them either....this puts a LOT of pressure on my opponents....I'm sure they will agree.
