wanna play better pool?
- Thread starter RonV
- Start date
Ron is a nice guy and his systems are very good. It's not the usual stuff,and the average player has never learned these kinds of things. It opens up the pool world and I would reccomend giving Ron at least a phone call, it's worth it.
Ron i agree with you a whole lot.I think there are some good instructors and some good instructional dvds out there ,but lessons in person are pretty high or to far away for alot of people.Besides Joe T, Freddy,J Reid,DR Cue there,s realy not a whole lot out for more advance players.I have taken lesson with Dave Matlock and i ask Dave how he aimed ,he said you hit about 10,000,000balls and your giong to no where to hit the ball.So Dave aimes by feel.Problem,alot of us cant do this ,do to job ,family and other things.Someone needs to do a video for advance shot making, long and short,speed and inside and outside english,bhe,how to ajust on certain shot realy break down the tuff shots, and different aiming systems.So Ron make the video and i will be the first to buy it. Guaranteed.There are by far
more people wanting to get better than there are good
players and if the right instructional stuff gets out
there ,pool might get the kick start it needs.

Ron, I agree with you and understand what you are saying! Too bad too many people who post here already know everything about anything. Many will never succeed in improving their game, So they look to knock down others who try, or anyone who has an opinion other than theirs.
I am tired of all the negative post on AZ, By posters wjo have nothing more to do than to look for a thread to add their negative 2 cents worth. Post on Ron V. I know you have the info others on this site would love to have.
PS I will be in contact with you soon.

If you are referring to DVD's I agree that there is room in the market for more advanced player material...BUT, having said that, I believe that with respect to many DVDs available, the problem lies more with the STUDENTS than the DVDs.
What I mean by that is all too many people look for quick fixes...buy a DVD set, watch it once or twice...practice about 10% of what they are told to practice and for about 1/100th of the TIME they are supposed to spend on practice...and then complain that the DVD was not advanced enough.
What ADVANCED play is...is not making 89 degree full table cuts. What it IS, is never having to do so!
As for Matlock, he is a GREAT, GREAT player..but he does NOT play by "feel." No one in the history of pool has ever played "by feel."
With respect to aiming, all great players take DEAD AIM and they know precisely where they are aiming...AND WHY.
MANY cannot EXPLAIN themselves very well which is why some great players are horrible teachers....but being unable to explain themselves doesn't mean they just bend over shots...say a quick little prayer and shoot. They DON'T do that...even if they think they do. For those who say they do, just challenge them to play some if they will close their eyes before taking their final stroke! (-:
But if you were not referring to DVDs, you left out several world class instructors including Allison Fisher, Gerda Hofstatter, Stan Shuffett, Scott Lee, Jerry Briesath, Bob Jewett and Mark Wilson.
And from what I hear, Ron V belongs right near the top of the list.

I did not say he plays by feel,I said he aims by feel,He has hit so many balls he knows how to line upon them and how to adjust and how to pocket them by playing so much.(memory,feel ,what ever youlike to call it). Also everyone plays by feel whether you use aiming and banking systems,feel is always in the game .As far as banking and kicking and safety play he uses nothing but systems.I have been playing for about 20 years so quick fix would be nice but pool is not that easy,but after talking with Ronv for about 20 minuts on the phone on his aiming system ,it has brought my game up another notch.Long cuts shots that i just couldnt tell where to hit, i always stayed away from,but not now.I might not make it everytime,but im not scared of them.As for instructors there,s alot on your list i would like to take lesson from.av84fun said:

I have to disagree a bit, I think there are definitely 'feel' shots though definiton of feel may be part of the problem and at least some very good players do not know why or even that they are aiming at the correct point.
On slow stroke heavy outside shots for me is mostly feel. Whatever aiming I do is minimal. How do you explain Earl's wing shots? I saw him make 6 for 6 with the last one behind his back!! Could he really know precisely where to aim and why?
One 'A' Player who i know for years did not know what deflection was. He thought spin was the only factor on a shot utilizing English yet he made high deflction shots all the time. His brain at some level "knew" but he didnt. :smile:
