so now that this is out there for God and eveybody to see, and according to the dvd itself is going to make the pros even better (if they learn it of course). how long do you think its going to be untill this has a profound impact on the game 2 to 4 years. From the claims Ive read this has got to be in the park with the forward pass in football and the 3 point shot in basketball.

To me when I watch the pros play their top gear is pretty dang high. If this can make the pros better then to be a pro your runout % is going to have to be over the moon. And really Id say the over all impact would have to be rule changes because the luck of the layout after the break will run the game.
 
Break and runs aren't gonna go up unless they perfect the break (which they did, and is now illegal).

Most mistakes have to do with position play, not misses. Pro's don't seem to have issues with making balls. Any misses are mechanical, and usually have to do with positional concerns and or pressure. I could be wrong, but I doubt it will have that much of an effect on them.
 
The top pro's shoot pretty damn good as it is. They are in-line to make the shot as soon as they get down on the ball. I can't see how pivoting can make them shoot any better. No offense to Stevie Moore but he doesn't make the top ten list.
 
I think it will take about five years for this to start impacting the game. And I think most of the impact will not be in the pro level but instead in the amateur to shortstop level. I think that once people learn this well enough to to teach it to others then it will go viral. I also think that when more and more instructors make it a part of their lessons then it will become a normal thing to learn.

I firmly believe that once people have strong aiming methods to use then they will be free to focus on the other important aspects in pool like speed control, kicking, banking, caroms, safety play etc......

For me, for example I am now working on my stroke and training with a top coach. Not once have we discussed aiming.

Seven years ago I was taking lessons from a top player and as I was getting ready to break he asked me what I was aiming at. He saw right away that I wasn't aiming right and so he stopped the planned lesson and we worked on aiming for the session. When he was done I was rifling balls in. How strong was his advice? The next day I was playing $100 a game one hole against someone who was favored to beat me and I got him stuck five games in less than an hour.

Apply this to thousands of players across the world and you should easily see that a rising tide lifts all boats.
 
It's called trying to get attention. It's actually kind of sad to see anyone with this much negativity on any subject. You can bet that poor Mowem is not living a happy life.
 
Hmm.....In the last few months I have been working with various alignment methods including all the forms of pivot methods.

I recently came up with my own personal bass ackward aiming system that was stumbled upon while working with the various pivot methods.

This method is made up of my own goofy method that I doubt is being used by anyone else in the world with touches of visual 90/90, 3-line and a manual pivot method for extreme angles and banks. It is jumbled up in my own personal mess of a method that takes me all of two seconds to line up a shot.....(and I also use BHE)

NONE of the methods are used exactly as described anywhere....I have formed my own version of what works for me.

For the last few years I have played in many of the DCT events....Every once in a while I would get a good draw and would sneak just into the money before being knocked out...but basically I would get beat when I had to play the better players that required running out or sitting for three or four racks.

After working with these methods and coming up with my own goofy method...I entered a DCT event....I got 2nd.......Sure I still missed some shots...and I got lucky here and there...but I beat many players along the way that I have never beat before....and as I started winning these matches...my confidence got better and better to the point that I actually won the first set of a two set finals against a prior US
Open Bar Box champion.....I played my best match at the point where on paper I was supposed to play my worst.

Is this a sign of things to come.....I hope so...but I will stop short of saying..."I have got it"....I will never make that kind of statment....The pool gods will strike you down in a heart beat for making that kind of remark...:wink:

I don't use a strictly book method of CTE...but I have to think that working with the methods gets some of the credit for me all of a sudden playing better

And I have to give credit where credit is due....There were a few banks throughout my matches where I threw caution to the wind and ignored the side pocket (or any other method) and used only a CTE method to line up the bank and fired it right in......one or two of those key banks may have been the difference between 2nd and out of the money...:wink:

Was it all just from the CTE and am I ready for Jonny Archer and the pro tour....probably not...but I feel like I am closer than I was 3 months ago...:wink:
