To me it looks like he thinks he knows more than he does, and his ego loves all the gratification he gets from beginners who have never picked up a cue before, lol
I kinda got that impression too. I can't beat him up too bad though and I give him credit for trying. He probably "learned" from someone else who didn't know what they were talking about.cuetechasaurus said:

cue ball directional change caused by rub
I remember Bert Kinister talking about this on one of his videos. I can't remember which one it
was, but tend to think it is from the Advanced 60 Minute Workout. It was in the context of
trying to bring the cue ball back, and why one should just use draw, instead of low-right when
cutting a ball to the left.
I was surprised when I heard him speaking about it. I also think that folks will see this effect
much more pronounced when using dirty (or not fully polished) balls. I think there is a lot of
confusion around many things, just due to the fact that some folks use pristine equipment,
and others use whatever they find at the pool hall.

I've watched most of his videos regarding pool now and feel that I should
add my favorites to this thread.
First, his knowledge of the diamond systems is uncanny.

Second is the draw versus follow through shot (must see to believe)

lol, the sarcastometer has gone off the charts
After seeing these two drills, even I have some trouble supporting this guy just because I support billiard instruction in general. He's noober than I thought. He's making a generation of scrubs who sincerely believe you have to raise the ass end of the cue stick to get draw or that you have to 'lightly' follow through to get follow.
The diamond thing was pretty awful too, you can see he's setting up a bank with a shortened angle where you're not really going from diamond to diamond, and on top of that he cuts the OB slightly instead of hitting it in the face. Somewhere, 1000 internet students are scratching their heads when all their banks come up short.
