I watched the free video on YouTube and for the first time in my life I am been doing drills. Once I get my stroke down I will move on to your videos on kicks and banks, One thing I didn't see in the video on youtube was the proper way to apply English. I have almost always used backhand English. However after seeing what some guys could do with inside English. I would try and try and not be able to duplicate what they could do. Then I started using parallel English and what a difference it made. So I was wondering if how to apply proper English was covered in any of your videos.
2 sleepless days and nights at Motel 6
Hard to believe but I found a motel that is so bad as far as noise that it is impossible to sleep. It sounds like the people in the room above are going to come right through the floor and the creaking from the wood in the floor is horrendous.
This is one of the toughest things to deal with when your on the road. There is no way of knowing of this problem until your in the room and someone walks up above.
Drove 10 hours and spent 2 days trying to sleep to get rested and practice for a big tournament.
Good luck with that.
One man a van and the road...........

Gene,
How about requesting a room on the top floor whenever possible (with elevator access)
A friend of mine once leased an apartment where the guy on the floor above walked around the apartment every 5 minutes with very heavy 'stomping' feet all night long. He had to demand a meeting in his apartment to show the manager what it was like. The manager moved him to a another apartment.
One has to get sleep, especially in a motel/hotel as that is usually the sole purpose of 'renting' a room that amounts to just a bedroom.
Good Luck & consider that top floor request.
Best Wishes,
Rick
If you stay in cheap motels you will have problems way more than not. For someone that's suppose to be road smart and in action all the time and gets $200 for a lesson you make no sense at all. Save a few hundred that week on a motel and you lose money and wear and tear of your van because you got no sleep because of, bed bugs, no A/C or noisy other guests because you wanted to save a few bucks. Penny wise and dollar foolish if you ask me. Or is this the starting of the excuse why you didn't play well, or not at all in the Open? Johnnyt
Ask Gate City Billiards owner Don Liebes where to stay. BTW, I imagine ya'll have heard, but Johnny Archer will be there next Wednes for some fan $20 matchups.
I'd offer to put you up in one of our houses, but with furniture market in process, they're all taken!
Gene doesn't make excuses. He makes overly detailed reflections on events that have already happened.

You guys are awfully hard on the beav. You keep coming back and reading everything he posts so you can bash it. Why not just stop reading his posts if you think he's a full-of-shit excuse maker?
And even if he lost and even if he makes excuses,
which of you guys tried playing bartram on a live stream? Anyone?

There are probably many players that would play Chris B on the stream for what probably amounted to less than $250 after streaming kickback. After all at least 100 people pay $500 each year to play 2 and out at the U.S Open 9 Ball. They might get 1 of those streamed if there lucky. Johnnyt
They moved that thread to the NPR section

Good post CreeDo. I agree. I spoke with him on the phone a couple times yesterday, and he is 1) seemingly a good guy by all accounts and 2) a trip.
He's headed to Raleigh today to play in Brass Taps' tourney (and if he beats JA, will he get more respect?), then plans to play in the US Open, afterwhich he returns to my city so he and Rhea can try out my new shiny bonus balls while Pinky plays the Basic Instinct Sharon Stone role.
He makes such an easy target by putting himself out here so candidly while selling his pots and pans and living his dream.
Seriously tho, I admire what he's doing, but as long as I am shielded by my keyboard, Imma gonna poke a little fun - mostly out of envy.

When they get there can you stream the action? BASICally the reactions from the Sharon Stone action & the Sharon Stone action too, if that's all right, just for reference sake to gauge the reactions.
Maybe you can call the stream, The REaction Report.
Best,
Rick
PS Check your PM for a little sharking story.

I want to see this list of many players on this forum who will play Chris Bartram for $250. Name them. Chris needs to get in stroke as he hardly ever plays.
Name this list of forum players, PLEASE?!
Thanks,
JoeyA
If I get ball-in-hand for every shot....nah, forget that; I'd still lose.
