your opinion john schmidt mechanics

Fran i am surprised by your comments.
Your earlier posts seem to contradict your latest idea.
O

I believe watching pros play is a great way to learn.The caveat is knowing that said pro does things that work for them.ie Duel's power draw shot is more then most viewers can
Expect much succes with.


14.1 is a continous game that seems to command a differant "flow" then short rack games.I believe a textbook step by step mode of play would have any player fried by
the time they run 40 .

Welcome all comments.
 
Neil, can we not have a civil consersation without personal attacks?

You mean like the one you just made? I made no personal attack. Try reading without your prejudices for once. If you want to say my comment was a personal attack, is was nothing compared to what one could easily consider Fran's to be. But, neither one was meant as a personal attack, just an opinion.

Why is it that everytime someone posts something you don't agree with, you and a few others call it a personal attack?

I do try to stay consistent in my ideas, unless I change my mind about something, but I don't recall any contradictions to what I posted on this topic. I think I've been very consistent in my opinion about the importance of studying the pros. Is there something specific that I posted in the past that would cause you to feel this way?

Neil, you're a valued member here and I enjoy reading your posts. However, I tend to agree with Fran's opinions more often than yours.

Fine, you are entitled to your own opinion. But that doesn't mean that just because most instructors disagree with what she said, that we are being mean or slamming her.

I'm not aware of the history our instructors have with each other. I do know, though, responses to Fran's posts could be more civil.
 
Thank you for that. I think so too.

I guess that's the problem with just the written word. I don't mean anything I say to be uncivil unless it is extremely clear that I am telling someone off. Such as when I told CJ he can KMA. That's clear. If I mean something mean or nasty, which is not very often, there will be no mistaking it.

I'm sure you meant this post earlier in the thread in the friendliest of ways. This was actually one of your nicer ones:

Quote Neil:

"Really? Really??? The size table has NOTHING to do with it. Six inch backstroke, so what? What do you want him to do, pull the cue back out of his hand? Strange how you equate very little body movement with a soft break. All you have to do is look at the balls and you can very easily see it wasn't a soft break. Guess you only see what you want to see there, instead of what is actually happening."

Maybe you should re-read your post that I was responding to. :wink:
