Freddy,

I felt I had to say thank you. I recently purchased your Banking book. Wow. I am glad I never had the misfortune of falling into a match with you.

I have not had a chance to truly get into the book or practice the shots on a table. I have only had a chance to read and learn some of the banking theory you explain related to speed, siding and angles. All I can say is wow. I have improved my banking by at least 500%. I find myself getting agressive and taking on, and making, many more banks than every before. It has really helped my level go higher.

Before reading your book I was ok at standard cross sides and ok at standard long banks. Off angle cut banks, controlling the CB and still making the bank, and a variety of other parts of successful banking were a mystery to me. I have read Robert Byrnes and Phil Capells books. Both show how to find the standard entry angle, but I struggled learning how to adapt to the various situations that occur in a real game. Not any more.

In short, you are a genius and I thank you sincerely for writing this book that should be a tome of learning on the shelf of every player that wants to bank with confidence and accuracy.

Regards,

Jason Munro
AAA player....for now.

I've got 2 new trick banks up on my blog, www.bankingwiththebeard.blogspot.com/ Do you think you can make 'em? I don't think so.

I'll give you a little bump too Freddy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the people who love the game and want to learn. Players like you and Grady and all the other great players, should share your talent with others. Along with the storie's of matches from the past. Thanks for all you guys have done for our sport.

If someone shoots that second bank (the Bug's bank) on me, I'm pulling up so quick, I'll be a breeze going by you.

Don't you know that Fatboy will make mastering that shot his highest priority now. :)

Fatboy can shoot that one until he's blue in the face. He'll never make it!

Jay who is that lady?:cool:

That lady is waiting for me in the Philipines. Her name is Mikaela, but her friends call her Bunny, and she is as sweet as she looks. I'll be a happy camper when I see her again. I miss her too.
 
Yes

I'm thinkin on certain tables I can probably make that second one. It'll take a little practice though. Thanks
 
Haha, cool thread

I just turned on the computer and was about to start a thread thanking Freddy!!! Cool :)

Been 9 hours to the poolhall today, and I decided to practise on a bankshot that I have seen Efren do twice. I have never understood how to do it, how much spin or speed, and where to aim, and have tried many times but never made it. One thing for sure, it's not the same tecnique as other similar bankshots.

Yesterday I read in his great book, and there it was! The shot!!

THANKS FREDDY!!! I made it 3 times in a row today, after only couple of minutes practising!

Here's the bank. For those wondering how to make it, read the book ;)

Well I see where some of this month's spending on pool stuff is going ! Thanks everyone. I like the Beard's style anyway so I am sure it will be money well spent.
 
I was given a gift card for Barnes & Noble recently & bought Byrne's Complete Book Of Pool Shots with it. I've found it to be a great book so far but I'm going to make Freddy's book my next investment, I've heard so many great things about it I think I'd be nuts not to buy it.

Banking is my weak point, never used to be but something's gotten lost over the years!
 
Dont let 'em search you

Will they let you take your Viagra+ with you when you board the plane to the Phillipines? I'm not clear anymore on the new contraband rules.

Don't worry about taking the Viagra pills WITH you, simply ingest all of them before boarding the plane and they'll never be the wiser...... imo

Tuckered out...

A friend of mine just turned 64, so I sent him three boxes of Cialis samples. Ever since, he's been too tired to write to thank me...:rolleyes:

We're all pullin' for you, Jay.

The pills are too big for me to swallow...they get stuck in my throat and I only get a stiff neck.:o Johnnyt
