You are a pretty capable 3C player, no doubt.
The thing about a hitch is that if you truly believe what you’ve paid for it’s tough to let that go.

Only the sheep.
It might just be me, but I like to try something for myself before I endorse or condemn something.
If something doesn't work for me, I try something else. Doesn't mean it won't work for someone else.
If something doesn't work for me, I try something else. Doesn't mean it won't work for someone else.
And it's the exact opposite with a large positive following at a different site. But they'd be categorized as those wearing tin foil hats by the ones here for 2 1/2 decades.
Damn, you make some good posts!
I know nothing about that or ever saw it posted or discussed. PM if that's better.
This is 5 days old and on topic .
A world champion told me something. I tried it with horrible results! After giving it an honest effort I gave it up. About six months later I tried it again. After all, it isn't everyday a world champion gives me free advice. Horrible results once more.
It was probably another year before I tried his advice for the third time. Worked like a bandit! I had to be in a different place in my own development for the advice to work.

You didn't read what I wrote. B to A or Shortstop to Pro in an hour would be an outrageous claim. Some skepticism is appreciated, indeed, it makes for a better lesson--the student is engaged with what I'm asking--but you should at least criticize what I actually wrote.
I'm glad your game improved since that video, but your attitude will hold you back from further improvement.
Also, I didn't say "a free lesson where I watch you do the same mistakes for an hour" I said "I INSTRUCT you for an hour". I could see you in motion before the c.b. hit the o.b. on the whole video at fast speed, and the three strokes I critiqued also. I'm sure that's one of the issues you've repaired to improve, that's a good thing.

“I will make your game much better in a one-hour lesson. …my claim for the upcoming clinic is you will go up several handicap points/an entire letter ranking in a day, from "C" to "B" and so on:”
Clearly, you were using the C to B as an example. So, nevermind, you’ve revealed your true attitude far more than mine. The outcome you’ve provided us is pretty much the expected crawfishing.

Somehow I knew that question would come up!(grin)
The truth is that it was many years ago and I don't remember what it was. I think something with the grip but I wouldn't swear to it. Thinking back now it might have been something with the bridge. What I really took away was that what doesn't work today may work tomorrow. After that, if I respected the source I didn't bury information as I had in the past if something didn't work right off.
The advice might have been to tuck the two middle fingers back using an open bridge or something else to make my bridge more stable. My memory ain't the best. This was 20,000 beers ago!

Exponents, I think we will have to go to exponents!
It did play hell with my barbecuing when I slowed down my drinking. All of my timing in barbecuing was based on beers. A beer to let things soak and clean things which were already pretty clean. A beer for the charcoal to get ready. A quick beer for my steak, closer to two beers for my wife's. Three and a half to four beers for her friend's. The girl was beautiful so I let her get away with it but doing that to a steak was a crime!

I just watched Lou shoot 3 racks and 4 break balls. Matched his head to the background. Head looked rock solid to me. Rear elbow looked consistent. Consistent setup. Not a lot of wasted motion. I thought he looked real good on the break shots. That's where things can sometimes get a little squirrely looking for extra. I guess I could never be a billiard coach. I thought he looked great. I think you'd have to be a pretty damn good player not to have your hands full with him.

In dog beers, I've only had one. . . .I think if I'm going to start counting the passage of time in beers I might need to learn some bigger numbers
I liked the place that served them in buckets. Honest Osifer I only had 1.
I remember a time when I got off work and hit McCorie's on the Slough. Played a friend that was on unemployment for $1. He would invariably have me stuck $10 before I got my alcohol content right. After that kind of physical work, it was 3. What good workouts those were.
