That's good you are starting to tingle already. You must have a high capacity for Visual Intelligence. Because of this, I think VEPS can benefit you and your students a lot.

All of the VEPS ordering options are listed here:

I would send VEPS to you (and others) for free, but that wouldn't be fair to all of the instructors (and others) who have already purchased it. Nor would it be fair to my co-author Tom Ross, who probably doesn't know you (and others).

Regards,

ArizonaPete,
I thought you promised me you wouldnt tell anybody. Oh well, guess the secrets out. The weights actually keep that fast loose stroke from upsetting your balance. Well since its out this is how it works. If your stroke is fast your feet come up from the floor, first one foot, then the other depending on where your stroke is. If you stroke is all the way in the front--your back foot comes up, if its all the way to the back--your front foot comes up. The trick to it is emptying your back pockets of wallets and all that and finding the right weight just for you. Of course we have some nice resin coated pocket shaped custom weights that we will gladly make for you. For a price you can get yours sent to you via "the grapevine" and not only will you get your weights one day but people will look at the package during transit, see your name on it and talk junk about you. Hey look here its ArizonaPetes A** Weights he is the guy that blabbed the secret!!! You , you you blabber you. Well thats probably just one of the secrets, I'll bet there are a few more out there!!

The Secret of Pool--Humility

PoolSharkAllen,

I went to that link and read as well as I visited a thread entitled " I am sick of it" this morning. I have to say I agree with you in a great sense. If you read my post after Jay Helferts I identify exactly what can be the death of this this sport. The best time I have ever had was a a tournament in Charlotte, NC I think it was $10 to get in. Although it was rated the goodwill of the whole thing was definitely there. The goodwill, the humility, the good time and seriousness of the competition was everything to me. It was rated play but that gave a few of the lower players a better chance. It wasnt the money so much as the fun involved that was important.

We all would like to see this sport have more sponsors, and it would be nice if the pros esp the men have an easier time of it when it comes to making a living and making something out of the sport for the occasional player. Money gets involved and many times creates as much of a problem as it solves. I think you are right if we were more humble and appreciative of what we have learned then we might be able to pass that gift a little better and without so much need to be paid for it.

Great Post, Great Post Right on Brother!
 
The Secret

Well my good friend Toledo Joe Thomas told me the secret years back. A friend, mentor and teacher to all who ask.

I know Joe told this to others, so I am going to divulge the two part secret to those who do not know him.

1 Make more balls.

2 Get better shape.

Simple.
 
The secret to playing great pool!

The secret to playing great pool is simple, you look at it through the eyes you did when you were young, no cares in the world, just get up there and play!:thumbup:

Think the other secret is you need to control what is between your ears! To only what you are doing on the pool table!

One day while playing you discover "the secret" or a huge secret in the game of pool. No one else knows it, you are sure. You cant find it anywhere. So what do you do with it? Do you publish it and let everyone spread it around for free? or Do you sell it one player at a time? What is the best way to sell it? Should you share it for the good of the sport? Should you copyright it and try to prevent its being reprinted in mass? If this is so good it makes pool less challenging, do you destroy it to preserve the game? What do you do with something so good?

The answers to these questions might prove interesting.

You can post the "secert", but unless the seeker of the secert has a open mind, the secert remains.
 
1 more thing.Unless SVB or someone of that stature tells you there is a secret,Ask them to show you some perfect pool,if they cant produce,then it is not the fix all as the title suggest . Maybe something you didn't know but not THE SECRET TO POOL
 
let the secret be with you

Every time my friend and I tell someone THE secret to pool they do one of 5 things.

1. Stare at us like we're crazy, then shake their head sadly and turn away.
2. Nod enthusiastically, but then come back to one of us a week later and say "what the hell did you mean, I can't feel any of that crap!"
3. Use the wisdom in the wrong direction, on the wrong day, in the wrong situation, with the incorrect amount of kinetic warrior essence.
4. Get hit by a bus walking dazed and in awe after FINALLY understanding and not being able to cope with the chance they might not miss ever again.
5. Confuse our profound insight with mental deficiency and challenge us to a "hunerd a ball action, ya sissy wierdo!"

It's a ninja thing, you wouldn't understand.

I Met A Seer by Stephen Crane


I met a seer.
He held in his hands
The book of wisdom.
“Sir,” I addressed him,
“Let me read.”
“Child — ” he began.
“Sir,” I said,
“Think not that I am a child,
For already I know much
Of that which you hold.
Aye, much.”

He smiled.
Then he opened the book
And held it before me. –
Strange that I should have grown so suddenly blind.

If I found a secret that would revolutionize the game of pool, I'd swap it for a T-shirt and a Subway sandwich. Preferably a Meatball Maranara. With chips. And a drink. :D

A secret that would revolutionize the game? I bet you could hold out and get the chocolate chip cookie thrown in there too!

The secret is there is no secret!

It's only a secret if you don't know it!

OPEN MINDS-OPEN DOORS!

When all else fails, buy a new cue.

Have a great day.....SPF=randyg
