Haha...I advise people to skip this video. It's horrible lol. I play very slow and nervous. So does he. My biggest singles win for sure. But I guess it does show the cue stick pointing thing I do. Oh well this is reality lol.

Thanks haha. I just said my preshot routine was somewhat unique. I am the taller guy that stands behind the shot and points my cue. I do other weird things too (wiggling my arm so it hangs dead, etc.) I guess its not exactly crazy, just a bit unique.

Lol. Yeah. We were both nervous. Ironically, once I got to 8 and pushed the race to 10, *he* asked for the shot clock! I think it was a big error for him, because I played much looser after the shot clock went into effect. I saved time by cutting out the fear and doubt lol.
Like I said, painful match to watch I imagine.

I love your attitude KM. The nerves get the best of us all. Well....I should say most of us but maybe not you because you clearly overcame them. The play was pretty slow but understandable under the circumstances. Great job fighting to the finish line and getting there first.
Now when it comes to funky PSR's I'd vote for Charlie Williams even though he doesn't play all that much anymore. I actually can't stand watching him play. He gets up and down more than any professional caliber player I've ever seen.

It looks like as you're using 90/90 and using your cue to align to three alignment lines and then when you get down on that line you pivot to center, a bit unorthodox way, but it still looks like that?

I saw Justin Bergman play a couple of matches and he seemed to have quite the routine. Got up and down several times on a lot of shots; downright Basavichian. Also had some strange gestures he would make with his cue while trying to decide if a shot was worth it or not.
Not really a pool player but W. C. FIelds had a routine in one of his films

Only 34? Thats not bad but I think it was same match you are talking about, were the commentators talking about it too? I counted 73, thats right, 1 more than 72 practice strokes before letting the cue ball fly on a break.
Yes I do
I even asked you if you use an aiming system with how you wave the cue a bit in the air before getting down on the shot. Looks just like an exaggerated way you would aim if using the CTE system.
Thanks sir! I was down 6-2...I'm pretty proud I was able to hang in there and not give up!

Interesting observations. I have to admit I don't really know what you are talking about. I've heard of 90/90 but have no idea what it is. I really just use my cue to illustrate the shot line to myself, so I can repeatably step in along that line, and orient my back foot on the line consistently. I definitely do not do any kind of pivot. What you might be seeing is once I bend down, I kinda swing my arm to the side and let it come to rest and just hang dead. It looks like I'm wiggling my stick or something. I've heard other people say I look like I'm using some kind of CTE. I'm not. No special aiming tricks or systems.
KMRUNOUT
Yes I do
Haha...yeah no CTE. No aiming system really. The waving is just so I can feel my arm hanging straight down dead. Sort of relaxing all my forearm muscles. Can't recall if I told you that before. I'm ok with being a weirdo lol

Kerry, have you ever attended a 3 day pool school with Tom Simpson? It was many many years ago. You look exactly like someone that was in the class.
