I beg your pardon. I didn't see your review on CCB, or anyone else's That's what I am talking about, the stroke trainer being mentioned of forums. Hell, I saw it at Valley Forge in its early stages when it didn't even look like the current. Why don't you go back and read the CCB threads where Popcorn and other experts blasted the thing. That's what I am talking about and I will forgive your left brain for jumping in here without examining the context my message was delivered in. What ever Fred, I hope you learn to wake up each moring with your right side of your brain working. LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE first. Look before you leap. Come on, you have the ability. Fred I apologize if I was not the 1st to mention the stroke trainer, but I will guarantee you one thing, I was the first to be laughed off the forum for mentioning it to you 'clubbies' on the CCB. Fred, you must learn to read between the lines. I have been bitching about the CCB clubiness for 3 years now and this is just one example where 'clubiness' almost killed a good product. Chriss Cass got one and it took off. Fast Larry's cue ball: another example of 'clubby' idiots blasting it before they even try it out. Join the club bozo. Just ask yourself: what would Whitewolf care about being the 'first' to bring this up? My ego doesn't care. I do care about the freedom of speech on the forums, and this is where I am coming from in case you obviously haven't noticed.
Here is your review Fred:
"Anyway, on to the Predator BK. Did it make my break into something on the order of a professional? Not even close. My break was as weak as ever. However, what I got out of the Predator BK was consistency. I am always hitting to the right of the head ball a little, with a lot of right-hand spin leftover. Normally, with my other cues, I'll have a little right-hand, but because of squirt, I hit the left side of the head ball or the right side of the head ball depending on where I broke from. So with the BK, the adjustment was one way. And, the adjustment was consistent. I'll have to keep working on this, but since the adjustment makes some sort of sense, I've got a starting point. Maybe I need to get the StrokeTrainer
http://www.stroketrainer.com to get the stroke straight. Of course, I'll break my fingers trying to get me break stroke straight hitting that aluminum plate."
Fred, you are a piece of work. What a review!!!!!! I'll bet you didn't even try it out for fear of breaking your knuckles LOL.
Yes, you and Glenn did post on CCB before I did (Mar 03), and I don't want to take credit for being the first God forbid. Frank had something nice to say about it. However, you did not get blasted like I did. Could this be because I mentioned the Fast's one's name, or that WW didn't have that many fans? Pardon me if I am wrong, but it seems you did not ever have anything real positive to say about it, and much more the guts to really blast the product.
Maybe you can mention something in Billiards Digest because I hear that the Fast One is making a whole set of balls. Isn't that what the US is all about, capitalism and free choices? Aramith and Brunswick have a monopoly. Wouldn't you like to see the prices come down if Larry's pool balls turn out to be great? And last but not least, maybe you could be the first one to review the balls, if you have the guts, or if Billiards Digest will even allow this LOL.
I should be given a gold medal for coming up with this thing, the very least a statue in front of the BCA HQ. FL
