What do you consider practice??

Sorry, that's not SAM. SAM doesn't use the cue ball to aim with. Nor the pockets.......Randyg SAM founder.

Sorry, Randy.

I thought SAM was based on Hal Houle's aiming systems based on a previous conversation you and I had. I believe it was a system where you aim the center of the CB at one of six "cut lines" on the OB with the principal that there are only 6 angles needed to pocket just about any shot. I may not have explained the system correctly, though.

Great thread, very informative, well mostly

Thanks for stirring the pot, Mike.

Shouldn't you be on MySpace clipping pics and pretending you know those girls?

*Edit-I see you edited out the "well mostly "

Eric: Very close. SAM is a combination of people and systems. Hal got it all started with me......randyg

When someone asks, "How much do you practice?" , what do you
consider when you state your timeframe.

Do you consider playing a weekly tournament practice? or playing a buddy?

Just wondering how many consider anything things other than a single player working on drills, playing the ghost, Fargo, etc practice.

I only play seriously. I usually play cheap cheap cheap sets giving up the 8 or 7; it has to be a challenge or you will be slacking off, count on it! Tournaments are my favorite "practice" but I rarely drill or try new shots out much anymore. When/if I am having trouble, then I'll practice alone until it's resolved. If it's not broke, don't fix it.
