Tuck and Roll

What do you have to do to get banned from the aiming forum?
Well the aiming forum was formed to keep CTE off the main page. As it turns out knowing CTE inside and out and actually using it gets you banned from the aiming forum. I know that sounds crazy but that’s pretty much how it worked out. Correcting people that had no clue and never studied CTE turned out to be a no no.

Now I have to go back and find these posts
 
"Feel" in pool is not tactile - it's when your alignment "feels" right to your mind based on past experience.
And everybody's mind comes to the exact same conclusion when it's "feel" related and is transferable from one player to
another just by verbalizing it. Right? Over the years when I played by feel, it was fleeting. I could be on fire one day thinking that I would never miss again and two or three days later want to snap some cues to pieces. There are better ways to play. Clear, precise, observable visuals are the way to go.

Yeah, just like "manipulate your hand and wrist the right amount to get the tip and shaft orientation in just the right position and angle".

LMAO! No wonder that's why you think the way you do. It isn't the way it's done. You've never gotten it and never will. Let's face it, I would NEVER want to play pool the way you do, and you don't want to play the way I and many others do. So why don't you drop it already after 25 years? You're climbing up on 80 years of age and it ain't gonna get any better for you for a number of reasons.
 
Those are your words, Einstein.

It was a broad brush statement from what the old guy told me. Not totally accurate. It doesn't matter what I say or how I say it. YOU are going to twist and turn it any way you can and have done it for 27 years starting on RSB. I saw all of the old posts on RSB before it was entirely removed from the internet and you did the same crap then.

Terry Bell, the one who did the video on Tuck and Roll (Tuck and Throw) has more knowledge about pool in his little finger than you'll ever have in your next three reincarnations. His credentials are very impressive, with Pro player being one of his accomplishments. What the old gent said to me is pretty much what Terry is saying in his video. Hal Houle had ways of explaining and doing it and we definitely know where you're coming from when his name is mentioned.

Why are you so obsessed with me, PJ? Do you have emotional problems?

I don’t see anything imaginary about fraction or contact point . On the thin cuts you’re using fractions for ‘half ball hit’ and your eyes would still go back and forth from CB to COB, 1/2 ball or whatever
A half ball hit or aim is clearly visible. It's all the other stuff in-between. Where is the contact point on the CB since it isn't in view on the other side from where we stand? Same with fractions. Are individual fractions visible on the OB?

How did "tuck and roll" turn into THIS?

You might as well just agree with PJ and call everything in the whole Universe “feel”. He will be relentless until you do.

I see the contact point just fine, don’t need gimmicks. So if you point the back of your hand towards the floor your knuckles finish on your chest, if pointed towards the ceiling you finish with your wrist. Why would I also want to limit my CB control on straight in shots by CCB to COB which gives me stop, draw or follow? I may need to cheat the pocket a little, then what? Put in the work and forget the gimmicks you’ll be better off

There are no guarantees in life but since he has around 30 years on me, I think I can outlive him. But while he's here, the chances of me agreeing with him about anything related to pool are slim and none. We can also throw in politics and just about everything else.

That's what "all aiming methods rely on feel" means to you?

Maybe some remedial English would help (don't forget to share with Spidey)...

“All aiming systems rely on feel”. No. No they don’t. But you will never agree with that or allow anyone on here that doesn’t believe in that any peace on here. You have to put your “ feel” position and belief in every thread you enter. It’s ridiculous.

Only in response to the absurd claim that an aiming method doesn't rely on feel - guess which method is the only one in pool that claim is ever made about. Guess who always makes it.

Does this one make sense? He calls it Tuck and Throw instead of "Roll".

As was said before, this seems like Back Hand English. Can you tell me what the difference is?
I've spent considerable time making sure I don't swipe the CB and feeling much better about a straight stroke.

What is the advantage of the swipe??
Serious question!!

Well I can certainly guess which aiming method that you know absolutely nothing about but ranted on and on against it for about thirty years because somewhere along the line someone hurt your poor little feelings
