If it took them 50 years to climb a single mountain, I'll pass.
PRO PLAYERS AND INSTRUCTORS - Why the controversy?

One guy forgot his chapstick so they had to go back.
Oh but there is.
In every undertaking there are "secrets" to doing it better.
From the basic equipment and safety techniques, through fundamental hand, foot and body control, across the spectrum of climbing movement, to the secrets of technical problem solving. Filmed at Lake Tahoe, Rifle and Yosemite. Starring World champion competitors, equipment experts, teachers and guides: Francios Legrand, Robyn Erbesfield, Dan Osman, Tiffany Levine, Francois, Bird Lew, John Hoffman, Dave Hatchett and more. The best how to rock climbing dvd out today.
Disappointing to see this kind of moderation.
Wilson, in the past you've said many times "I don't care who started it, I'm stepping in and you both need to stop." Now you're saying "Hey, Lou started it, so as far as I'm concerned... tough titties."
Why the different treatment for Lou? It seems personal. Especially when you add a jab where you imply he's a nit (which is out of line anyway... who here wants to play a US Open champ? Not you either right?)
And JB, you've complained for years about uneven moderation, but because you feel lou had it coming, nothing to say about all the "chickenshit keyboard warrior" flaming? To me even's post was just as much "fuel to the fire" as anything Lou's recently said.

It does work with smaller balls because I have tried it.
I have great respect for CJ because many of his principles reflect the views that I have and methods that I use.
I am currently working with one of the biggest names in snooker and will get him to prove CJ's theory and that should just about nail it.
Can we get this statement made into a sticky that pops up in the posting box & must be acknowledge before typing a post is allowed?
I would only add a preface to it.
Just as in Life & in any other endeavor...
Regards &
The moderation is not fair on AZB. It's not consistent. And I am not about to start commenting on who should be banned for any particular offense.
In the past I have reported and not retorted and the outcome was not as I wished either. Just because you report doesn't mean the mod is going to agree with you.
While a person may be over the line here in addressing Lou the fact of it is that Lou has been getting away with murder (or factually speaking getting away with slander) for years.

Knowledge by itself is worth very little. Muhammad Ali has lots of knowledge in boxing, but he hasn't knocked anyone out lately. This is a quote made by Billy Incardona. Billy is (arguably) the most knowledgable one pocket player in the world today. But you do not see him winning the Derby City One Pocket or the US Open One Pocket.
Execution is much more important. The players that are the best at execution will win. Young players with relatively little knowledge in one pocket and bank pool have been winners of major tournaments due to their execution.
How often do you think John Morra plays bank pool? How often do you think Shane Van Boening plays one pocket? Yet they won Derby City last year, because their execution is the best in the world. And that is not to say that they have no knowledge in those games, but it certainly is not their main focus.
Let us question if Shane and John spend 12 hours per day practicing, or did they spend half a day at pool college and all of a sudden turn pro?

Cool. Keep us informed.
Thanks for reminding me, I hate to pull out the "big guns" quite yet.
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot
there's a snooker player in England that just ran a couple 147s in practice I hear using a "similar" TOI Technique.

I thought you said it didn't work for snooker? Now you've suddenly remembered a couple of maximums!
lou said I was a "snake oil" salesman - I didn't even know snakes required oil???
I think some humorous banter is fine, however, lou said I was a "snake oil" salesman several times in the last few months and I didn't even know snakes required oil???

Is it out
C.J.
I was reading the testimonials and it sounded like some had TOI DVD
Is it out or did I read it wrong.(entirley possible). I have been practicing
using TIO a couple of hours for the last 3 days. The two problems I have
run into are , if the cb and ob are close together (4 to 6 inchs) with only
a slight (say to the right) cut. I aim at the closest part of the pocket and
CB either does not deflect or the TIO holds it up. (hope this makes sense).
I still make it most of the time but all of a sudden it will hit the point. I
set it up and shoot it again and make it but I dont seem to do anything
different. All other shots that I miss are usually because I fell back into
the habit of trying to baby them in. The other thing I am struggling some
with is position. Certain shots that I have always shot easy and spun the
CB into position It seems I have to hit much harder to get where I want to be. Your system brings to mind Dick Fosbury, (high jumper, Fosbury
Flop). Everyone said thats all wrong. WELL the proof's in the puddin buddy
Once again thanks again.

My bad, I almost forgot with all the excitement in releasing the NEW TOI Video.
My bad, I almost forgot with all the excitement in releasing the NEW TOI Video....by the way, 147 is good, isn't it?

shorten your bridge to exactly the distance between the cue ball and the object ball
No, the TOI Video is being uploaded right now for the FIRST TIME in the United States. Using the TOI Technique requires you to hit the cue ball consistently the same speed. This over a few days will give you a much better "Touch"....that's the "Inside" reason.
They learned it by PMing me and reading my posts here on az and on face book...I have a 70k following on line currently world wide. fyi
When the balls are close together, usually it's a center to edge alignment (angles are amplified close together) and you MUST accelerate more than ever....shorten your bridge to exactly the distance between the cue ball and the object ball and hit it quick....with that length bridge you won't be able to foul or double hit the cue ball.

John,
Your posts about Lou, PJ and a few others are unfortunately, very accurate. Maybe now the bullying will come to an end and the forums can return to be an enjoyable place to visit.
Who knows, maybe now additional pros will want to visit and share their SECRETS.........................

Could you please provide a demo of using the above technique when the balls are set up as below where you are cutting the stripe ball into the 3 ball.
