This thread should most definitely be moved to the Aiming Conversations sub forum.
To help spur this along, I want to make it clear that all anyone needs to aim effectively in pool is the DAM aiming system. Even better, purchase the How to Aim Pool Shots (HAPS) DVD series. And if that still doesn't work, try adding in some CTE, 90/90, Perfect Aim, SAM, HAMB, and PIITH.
I hope that's enough to get this thread moved to where it belongs.

Dave

The free valuation trial has been extended till this weekend.
...and if none of that works, you might actually try to learn how to accurately stroke the ball. You can't buy a stroke...but a good instructor, who uses video analysis can help you FIND one! :grin:

Dude in the sandals who had a deadly drinking problem, right?
You know...I really cannot understand why everyone is coming out in a rash over this. A guy has an aiming/playing system and wants to make sure that someone doesn't post in in toto on this site or youtube, before it's even been launched, which btw is not an entirely unlikely outcome. Sure, some of the aiming system "pros" have lots of free info out, but none have their entire system out for free. They all charge, and most charge 50+ bucks. That is probably the OP's plan as well (I don't know about the pricing, but I bet he wants to charge something).
And seriously, the guy has some chalk on the ferrule of his cue(actually revealed to be a house cue), that's a reason to attack someone now!? He's a "slob"? I got to ask what is wrong with people, and where the hell do you come up with this stuff? Have any of you seen Darren Appletons shaft (non Revo) or even Efrens? All the people who practise ALL DAY have somewhat dirty shafts, unless they are spending a lot of time keeping them clean or have elaborate procedures that are applied at all times for the purpose of keeping it clean. BTW, not everyone plays with a Black Boar that cost 10 k. Some (and lots of great players are among them) see the shaft as an expendable, utilitarian item, not as a "mint, in box" action figure that must be preserved in it's current configuration for "eternity", at great cost to the enjoyment of owning said item.
And the the obligatory "it's the stroke" speech, which is very selectively applied by some. I happen to be in this camp myself, but at least be consistent and honest enough to say that this applies to all aiming techniques. Maybe he does address the stroke, for all we know, so it would be wise to reserve judgement until one has actually seen the material.
The OP has been very low key about this, he has not made any outrageous claims, and even if he did he would have to keep posting such claims every day for at least a couple of years to even break the top 5 on this site! Even top 20 would be difficult. People in glass houses should not throw stones! I'm not all that interested in his system, other than the general curiousity I have about all pool techniques, and I have to ask why anyone would want to jump all over someone this way, without even knowing what the system is about? I hope it's not for the reason I think it is.

When it comes to pool philosophy, I figure you should mention Diogenes, both for the slob factor as well as the connection with dogging it, lol.

Come on, man. Did you even watch his teaser ?
"Have you ever wanted to pot balls just like the professionals you see on TV?"
"Yes, you can do it if you practice 8 hours a day for the next 2 years."
"Now, you can do it in a month!"
That's right, you can literally pot balls just as well as the professionals on TV, in a single flipping month! I'd say that's a pretty outrageous claim.
What I said was that ferrule would drive me nutz.
How you interpret that is out of my control. It definitely was not mean spirited.

Well I wasn't talking about your post. Notice the word "slob" in quotationmarks. Someone used that word, and that person was definitely being mean spirited..
FWIW I share your sentiment about dirty ferrules, which is why my ferrules are always spotless or close to it. That is just a personal preference.

Apart from that claim, the video is actually pretty low key too. I agree that the statement to which you are referring is taking it way to far. I still say he is being modest compared to certain others.
Very well stated.
I think most people start playing pool just to have fun. So they play for some time before they really even want to learn how to work on a good repeatable stroke. Most want to learn an aiming method that helps them pot. It's not till you take the game serious that you worry about anything more than potting.
Thank you.
Everyone's shutting this guy down before even hearing him out. At least try it first before you start passing out judgement. Or we could just be total bullies.This forum is ruthless. I don't care if it works or doesn't work. Azb is stagnant because of this exact reason. Only certain people are qualified to give their opinions. Only certain topics are considered accepted practices, and you'd better use the search function, instead of wasting peoples time and distracting them from the ONLY 3 still active threads:
"I wonder what [insert random pro's name] is buying at the grocery store tonight?"
"Look at my new cue. I know I have 100, and 300 hundred on the way, but this one is the nuts."
"Look at the new Revo, Predator's gunna screw with us slightly less this month and we're gunna love it."
"Yes, you can do it if you practice 8 hours a day for the next 2 years"
That is probably exaggerated. I really don't know the figure and I don't believe anyone knows too. So, I just give a ball park figure. So sorry for the exaggeration ;-)

That's not the part that's exaggerated (that much).
I'm talking about the part where you claimed a person could pot balls as well as a professional within a month.
Nice try though.
Did I read correctly that he wants people to sign an NDA for the info?
Are you kidding me?
Can you imagine someone signing that and telling others about the system and having this guy go to a lawyer screaming about how he taught someone how to pot a ball and they told everyone how I do it! He would literally be laughed out of the law office, NDA or not.
That said, I'm always open minded.
Is this a pivot system... a fractional system of some kind? Give us a high level idea. Heck, even CTE threads had the basics: align, offset, pivot, whack it.
What are the bullet points for this system?
If you can't answer that and it's hush, hush, hush without NDA NDA NDA.... screw this nonsense. The odds of a true amateur coming up with a method that isn't a subset of some kind of what has already been discussed at length on here is almost zero.
Not impossible... just near zero.

I guess it all depends on how you view the difficulty of the shots in this video. They are between 1/4 to 3/4 ball shots, and all with english.
The free trial is still open to those who interested to improve their potting skills especially those who view the videos as "Wow, I wish I could aim with english and pot those balls as easily". The only guarantee that Precision Potting can offer is that your potting skills will go up significantly. PP is not guaranteeing that you will pot every single balls, although pretty much every if you have worked on it for a while - like a month.
NDA is to give me confidence that you will keep your promise in keeping the salient points in the system quiet. Other points that are already known elsewhere, of course will not and cannot be covered under the NDA.
I have said earlier that it is not an aiming system. Hence PP is treading on a different path from CTE, 90/90 etc.
Is it a subset of some kind of discussion that has already been discussed?
Laws of physics will apply to all aspects in pool. Precision Potting can't run away from it. So, of course it is a subset of some kind of discussion that had gone through this forum and many other forums. Using a close bridge and pivoting or parallel english is also a subset of some form for any aiming system. Important is, is the end product the same? How significant is the system to each individual?

Anyone whose BS detector didn't go pinging at the original post - the outrageous claims, the secrecy, etc. - needs their BS detector re-calibrated IMO.
love the profile pic
Do you play these "spin shots" the same way at any cb-ob distance ?
