Should J6 post a video up to prove he's as good as he says Poll..

Pretty sure the williams sisters father would have coached them at the very start until they showed promise to get proper professional coaching.

I do see what your trying to say however I also think this forum is kind of strange in the sense that people who cant walk the walk really do love to try and talk the talk. For me it can become a bit of a popularity contest on these forums rather than listening to people who have spent a large portion of their lives just to get to the standard they are. People listen to people who spend more time posting on here than playing the game!! I have said this before but i'll say it again if you saw these people next to you in a snooker club you wouldn't take any advice off them. I personally come on here from time to time as I am lucky enough to be able to practice which means I can maintain my standard.

Just to clarify i'm not saying any lower level players advice should be totally ignored but at the saem time i would invite these players to think about what they comment on.

Yes fair comment - I must admit I have read bad advice myself and tried it out - looking at the white ball when aiming - totally messed my game and head and timing up for a bit - but got that out my system - I noted some other posters seemed to think it worked right for them so you can never tell I suppose we are not all wired the same.

However I tried out a bit of advice about concentration recently - bit left of center thinking from a guy who stated his high break was 22 and found that it worked so this is why I don't discount things - It is the diversity of advice I like on here - but on here are some strong personalities and that may put others off posting.
I know there are some very good players that don't post or comment on here - not everyone is confident at writing things out. Some perhaps cant be asked and some don't want to for fear of being shot down.

I would encourage others to speak up if they can play to a good standard and share stuff and not just sit back - and I think the forum would be better for it - but I would not discourage anyone from doing it - I mean takes all sorts to make the world go around - even crap players like me can have a point now and again

I do agree with the this, of course players who have done it , their advice should carry far more weight, but when advice is asked for you normally get four replies then a massive five page argument about who the better player is and none of them have pointed out what's obviously wrong, so we get to learn nothing from them, it's very frustrating. That's why we end up trying to help each other,( it's only our opinion we give, it's never stated as a fact or a must do )because the rest are too busy wagging their dicks around and forget what the question was.
Like Byrom has said I wish the other really good players would help, their advice would really be appreciated from us all, it doesn't have to end in an argument all the time, even if it seems that way sometimes.

I don't suppose the fact that both girls are very masculine helped at all. Maybe he saw that as well as they both have his facial attributes.
Hard to imagine that a young Paris Hilton could have been turned into a tennis champion.

At 1.73m tall I wouldn't rule Paris Hilton out.

The link to masculinity is less in the facial features and more prevalent in the ring finger length as an indicator of testosterone.

She'd probably fill your now famous Jeep undercrackers just fine J6

[j6uk]

yeah she'd need to go in back to front, but really though i don't know if her legs will get through

[ADR147]

the real skill is to play that shot the way i can. pot the pink screw into the pack and knock every single red into an impossible position in the middle of a cushion, i am the only player that can do this consistently!

i think most players who have been players quite a few years understand the game enough to give advise. that doesn't mean that they have to be a top player. i for instance know plenty on the game either from experience from others on this forum , coaches, watching videos of pros and the like.

however it doesn't mean i can execute what i preach, i know what to do but doing it or in other words consistantly is another matter. i think we all do. and in the end its just advise people can take it or leave it, rather than criticizing the one giving advice because he can't make a 50 break.

We’re supposed to be an evolved society yet we’re told something one day and another thing the next. Red wine’s good for you. Red wine’s bad. A pint of beer is good, a pint is bad. Take vitamin supplements but not too many or it could damage you.

We're constantly hit with conflicting messages until it gets to the point where we don’t know what’s genuine and what’s nonsense. All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast by one station in one city in one year. Not all bits have equal value. We have reached the point where even certifiable truth is regarded as just another version of events because equal validity is given to any interpretation. Hence the NHS financially supporting homeopathy.

Every explanation, no matter how twisted or biased, is accorded the same weight of authority. It seems to me that we’re almost going backwards as a species, that there’s been a breakdown of reason. There seems to be a complete refusal to accept any qualitative distinction between utter baloney and reasonable hypothesis. Not to say anyone's got a monopoly on the truth.

I believe that one person’s opinion is not necessarily worth the same as another’s. The commonly held notion nowadays is: I may not agree with you and you may not agree with me but we should all respect each other’s opinion. Well that’s ok until one person has expertise, experience, knowledge, training, or skill and understanding that the other doesn’t have. My ‘opinion’ on open-heart surgery is not of equal value as an open-heart surgeon's. His ‘opinion’ on business stratagems is not as valid as mine.

The average citizen of the world today lives longer than the richest person of the last century. Why? Because science has given us health, food, life and a standard of living unseen in the Earth’s history. Yet, barely literate people with little understanding of scientific principles argue against vaccines like MMR, causing a resurgence in these diseases, they shout against GM foods, stem cell research, global warming and any and every advance or discovery, and generally from a position of ignorance.

That said, some people are more adept at teaching others. World class sportsmen often make poor managers/coaches. Journeymen players often are world class leaders.

Just thinking of all the little old grannies who have watched snooker on tele since the days of Pot Black. Bet many of them who have never held a snooker cue in their lives can tell you how to play certain shots the best way. Like screw of the blue and open the pack etc.

Makes you think a bit

if there's an old bird giving me advice on a shot off the blue, i'd take it

we all create our own game. when i was in the club working hard and giving off positive vibes, people would gravitate. but predictably if you star hanging around the bar, fuking about, downing one to many and being far too familiar then you can act and go about your work as a bit of cant

Yes, but should J6 post a video?

I play it in a similar way but I manage to somehow stick to a red and have to try and play safe with 10 reds spread all over the table!
