I read it. Nothing is new. Please don't suggest I didn't read "it." Of all the posters on this ridiculous topics, I've read more than most. You need to go reread all of his posts.. I don't need to.

Mosconi and E. Taylor said it best.
They both told me to only use spin to make a ball that is not "ON" without it or to play position that you can not get with center ball.
I am a believer in center ball and with tighter pockets it makes it much easier to run out.
Try it. You'll like it.

To hell with working you way to it. You ain't gonna lean the true apex of a turn by driving it at a crawl.
Now get out there and put the pedal down.

Hey Bill, how is you're game since you hung-up the lathes? Last time i saw you play was against Bob Baldwin at the BilliardPalace in Tulsa. You'd stopped in to see Mike Betts and Bob was there and you guys played some $50 one-hole. Guessing it was around '88-'89.
What category would you say that shot of yours falls into, Obi-Wan Kenobi?
Are you suggesting had he played the shot with spin, he wouldn't have miscued?
Because the best players in the world never miscue, right?
I'll take the 7 :thumbup:
I'll give you the break, a Digicue and 5 racks out of 9. You can't use a Magic Chalk though. I'm not that strong.:grin:

Well, due to the results, it could be one of several reasons, or even multiple reasons.
1. I was practicing the snooker style of play.
2. I was playing in the 4th dimension instead of just 3 dimensions.
3. I was practicing my speed control on shooting to a pocket with a blocker in the way. Much as Ronnie was in the clip of him doing the same. Speaking of that, please note my use of CTE on the shot. Notice that my shot went right to the heart of the pocket line, whereas Ronnie's shot was off to the side a little. Although, that could also be the result of me using center axis, whereas Ronnie used a little english on the shot and improperly adjusted for the squirt. Which again explains why he hit the point of the pocket and not the heart of the pocket.
4. While this is an advanced training technique, and I realize that most viewing it will not be at that level and will only see it as a simple miscue, I still felt it was worth including in the video.

Good for you that you had this included in the video. It's a good sign.
But I think you don't know something about this stroke. It is impossible to properly spin the cue ball using this stroke. And maybe that's why you suggest staying at ccb.
PS. If you don't know how to use your wrist, no LD shaft on earth can help you.

Nice execution, that's a good shot on a big table.

I hope the bar owner doesn't save his security recordings. I probably do this once a week.
