Made a video on vimeo to try it out of some one handed straight pool runs. I was going for a new high run, but didn't quite make it. Here's the link http://www.vimeo.com/13422593 Please let me know of any editing or setup improvements I can make.

Your Video
Just watched your video and enjoyed it.. You are some talented person and have a certain style for every type of shot that might come up.
But 14.1 is hard enough with two hands, let alone one.

Great video! And what a real out-of-the-way skill to become good at -- one-handed jacked-up! First question: what ever inspired you to want to become good at one-handed jacked-up? Was it a handicap that a player put on you (e.g. gambling) and you found you were good at it?
Second question -- did you get picked up by Kamui as a sponsor? If you did, congratulations!!

thanks!
thanks Sean! I first tried one handed when I was 15 and found that I had pretty good hand eye coordination. I got fairly good at it after a few years and started playing that way when it started getting tough to match up giving big spots. I gambled with Chris McDonald for about a year, we would play one handed one pocket. Then Mike Massey saw me practicing that way before an exhibition of his in California and we played one pocket. I ran 8 and out on him jacked up the first game and he said I was one of the best he had ever seen! That got me motivated to see how good I could get. and yeah, Kamui is sponsoring me. I'm glad it was a tip company that actually has really awesome tips! A lot of my friends around here were talking about Kamui, but I hadn't tried one. Thanks.

oh, the beautiful agony!!
You can say that again! 14.1 might be the most perfectly aggravating, heartbreaking, endlessly entertaining game ever invented. Like Mr. Schmidt said, stick me on a deserted island and I can entertain myself just running balls.

This is one of the most impressive one-handed stuff i ever saw!
Anyway- I am not sure if everybody know the PAT Video Series (A.Huber and R. Eckert)- on the first Video they re showing, how you can align perfectly yourself (depending on given natural physical things).
I recommend this Vid to almost everyone. For sure it s not the *Gral* for everyone, but in my opinion a wonderful way to show someone how important it is to get a perfect and repeatable procedure to get aligned perfectly.
One-handed shooting can be a great help here- most ppl just doing it for fun- but especially with beginners-or if you wanna show some errors or just *work them out* -with one-handed things you can help more than you think
still impressed,
Ingo

bowing is not optional
Thank you Ingo. Wait!!! I'll get you a cushion! A lot of my friends are talking about the PAT, we think it is a perfect test, and you're absolutely right, one handed is a great way to get a beginner to feel how to stroke straight.
humbled by the impressivisity of your impressedness,
Jesse
PS. what are the SPF 3 letters to success?

Hi Jesse,
S-P-F stands for Set-Pause-Freeze*. It s a *shorty* founded by RandyG if i remember correclty - the SPF Family is a group of Certified Instructors who are also here on the forum- just to name some of em: RandyG, Scott Lee, Steve aka pooltchr. I found this forum in September last year-after i have had a break for about 10 year without billards. Then i ve chosen to get myself certificated to make it official to give lessons etc. - when i saw those great instructors here on the forum and how they explain and what they teach i was impressed and saw many many things i prefer, too.
The routines they re teaching in their school is very similar to our/mine. And the process from going into alignment until the end of the stroke is named shortly *Set-Pause-Freeze*. Hope i explained it correctly and haven t forgot perhaps an *important* thing about S-P-F. Imo it s a great description and you can burn it easily into your brain (to use it as a mantra for example or so).
Short said- i m sure without reading those many excellent postings from these extremly qualified instructors i wouldn t have been that so much *on fire* to work with students and give my knowledge further.
K, Jesse, keep shootin that crazy
