Sean,

I thought I was being a little cold ragging him about the typo, you drive a stake through his heart! :D ;) :D

After years of trying to be a newfangled pool player I have figured out that sometimes you can't teach an old dog new tricks. What seems to be the core principle of Perfect Aim doesn't work for me but neither does a pure pendulum and a lot of other newfangled stuff. I'm better off just trying to put a ball in the hole and the cue ball over yonder and not worry about style points.

Actually, I hope that if Geno himself reads that, he sees the real good-natured humor in it, and laughs himself. Although I make no bones about the fact that I disagree with his marketing tactics, I think in my heart of hearts that he's a genuinely good guy. He means well.

As for the product itself, like I said, I have a copy of the original version (it still has Geno's hand-writing with a black Sharpie marker on it). It wasn't new information for me, especially in light of the fact that I already had digested Richard Kranicki's great published book, Answers to a Pool Player's Prayers. But the fact it was a review of one aspect of Kranicki's book didn't bother me; I just shrugged my shoulders and put the DVD aside, to give to someone in the future that may make better use of it. Like I said -- no problem here with Geno or with his material; it's the marketing/sales tactics.

As for my own approach, it's a combination of what was taught to me in snooker (putting the head and the eyes in the correct place is part and parcel of snooker fundamentals); formal instruction; self-taught material from SPF and other books too numerous to mention here; as well as tens of thousands of hours of trial and error. Committing the "put the ball in the hole" to subconscious / muscle memory is what finally wraps it up for me. I agree with the no style points thing; pool is an outcome-based sport; not an execution-prettiness-based one.

Sean,

I know you far too well to think any malice was intended, I put a few emoticons and such for those that don't.

Speaking of snooker fundamentals, I notice video of both Shane and Alex centering the cue sliding on their chin, looks real snookerish! When I could get that low I sometimes let the cue slide along the side of my chin, a beard helps there.

Would that, per chance, be a moosehead bridge with a strap to go behind the neck? (Picture moosehead bridge over the front of the chin, with a strap around the back of the head.)

:D

Hey guys, just curious here. Now I stopped coming to AZ for 2 years or so and just started up this past summer.

When i first learned about perfect aim, and other instructional things like traveling schools and new DVDs and what not. I saw them on the main forum.

Now it seems that this is not OK? If so when did that start happening? And is there a why too?

I just seem lost here.

Thanks.

Hi there Pete,

I wouldn't worry about it. All I'd worry about is how well those balls are going in the hole.

You know how well this works and your aim will get better and better the more you get comfortable with it.

If you ever have any questions don't hesitate to call.

If you got any friends that your having trouble showing this to or explaining it just have them call me.

The Perfect Aim phone lesson is still free for everyone that wants to call.

Thanks again geno..........920-840-5296..:thumbup:
