Your great result last year at the open is a logical result of hard practice stan.
Im every time impressed about your fantastic stroke and your textbook delivery of your stroke. Most ppl seem to forget that this is the most important thing. ;-)

Thanks, Ratta!
I agree! Stroke is hugely important!!
But, since my high finish at the Open I have reflected on the WHY many times.

At this stage as a player, my visual skills are far superior to my physical act of stroking. In past decades my visual skills were inconsistent and lacked any real structure and were quite weak as far as approaching the game in a professional manner.

I went into the U S Ooen with the confidence that I could match my visual skills with any player there. Now, stroke, that's another story. I am lucky to be even an average bear in such a field but over the years I have worked to develop a stroke structure that could stand the test of battle....I have succeeded at that to some degree but there is still much work to be done in that area.

Anyway, I can vividly recall critical shots against strong players that if it had not been for my visual connection with the table, I would have weakened and spiraled downward. Yes, I still had to come through with stroke, but , my physical success was a direct result of my perceptual connection with the table.

Ultimately, my stroke finally took me down. At 10-8 and a near perfect match with Daryl Peach, I missed a draw shot and that spelled my doom. I had a reasonable chance at that point to make top 16.

At age 63 I am still improving, mostly as a result of my visual work. Yes, my stroke is slowly getting a little better but the reason I can say at this ripe old age that I am not over the hill yet is all about the visual and not so much about the physical. It's the visual that drives me to keep the physical going .... Otherwise, I'd be saying my best game was a decade or two ago.

Agree here also with you Stan-- to get the correct perception is a very important point. ( no matter if it s about Pro1 or another Aiming System). By using an aiming system it s jsut about to *land on the striking line*- that s all an aiming system has to do. But you need to work extremly hard to develope the physical fundamentals to benefit from it :-)
That was all i wanted to say. I have my own *little journey* with pro1*- and i still enjoy to *play with it* here and there. More success that i would have thought-seriously.
Hope that i ll be able *somehow* to spend a few weeks for some hours with practice (timewise and healthwise). I m still often surprised that some balls are making their way to the pocket-lmao!

have a smooth stroke Stan,
waiting for your 2nd DVD,

Ratta,

I think we agree on most all points. The point I was emphasizing, though, is that CTE connects with the table and under pressure that is a gift that not just any ol' aiming system gives up.

Understood the sense in your posting :-)

Im still in an early stage with pro 1. But i can say for sure that there are already shots where i have an impressive ratio if its about successful and missed shots.
Biggest problem for me is if the distance between cb and ob is more than about 3diamonds and more.
Unfortunatley not much time to practice. Too much work and too much stuff to work on for students.
Hoping for dvd 2

Enjoy your weekend stan.
