New Screw Back Technique

[pottr]

Talent takes you so far... It's those who have the talent and the hard work ethic dialled up to 11 who we remember.

You say you are a "Former professional snooker player", is that indeed true ?
If so how high did you get in the rankings and what was your highest break ??
Cheers

I think you're misreading his signature JRC, a former professional snooker player has said he is the doyen of all cue sports not Splasher is a former professional

All made up in BS's imagination, the former pro and the praise on himself :biggrin:

Hmm maybe you are right, must of read it too quick, so basically it means nothing then

A former professional once called me a c&?t, not sure what he was formerly professional at, but I believe him anyway.

[jonny66]

A cat! He called me a cat.

I could say that you can'nt play this game. But I'm not going to cuz that would be harsh and not fair , as i do'nt know you neither I've seen you playing this game.

ROS does ( as well as many other decent players ). That guy can talk to the CB and i bet if you ask him how the hell you pull it off ? . His answer would be : I don't know.
And he has achieved this stage thanks to his talent + hard work.

sum people try to play violin for 20 years and still, they can'nt.
Mozart just picked up the violin when he was a kid and started to play. When they asked him, how do you do it?
He simply said: I do'nt know i just see the notes.

Some people are able to accros the edge of Science (this due to their talent/hard work/or a combination of both ).
and there are always sum other people who just refuse to accept it. that's sad.

What does this mean please.

sumone calls me a cat? I'm not even able to hear it . I geuss that makes me the idiot who i am.

What does this mean please.

Glad we can get back to the topic .

That Means Some peaple (players) are able to do, what according to the science is not possible. This they can achieve through their hard work + talent.
would be fair to say talent is not enough and you need to put Some practic and hard work in . (Which was already Mentioned by Potter and I do agree with . good point ).

I hope this is okey !!

Nobody can do what is impossible outside the laws of physics Ramon, we are all bound by them, that's how our universe and everything in it works,unless they are God and he's fictional, it's just not true. I don't know why you seem to attach some type of mystical power to someone who's good at a pointy stick and ball game, there is none. Their ability to play the game at a higher standard than most is no harder to explain than any other top sportsmans ability and none of them are bending or breaking any scientific laws, if you can prove they are there is at least a Nobel prize waiting for you as you will have rewritten the whole of human understanding as to how the universe works.

If someone exceeds their potential, it just means that their potential wasn't gauged correctly in the first place.

Congrats you win most honest and truthful post of the year

Jimmy lost two world titles due to poor CB. Was that down to a heavier cue or his technique or both? His CB is relatively poor given his talent and his only 147 is ropey. My 19oz cue is dynamic but a mare in the balls. That's why I've dropped to a 17 now.

One of the problems I had when I was using a hybrid snooker/pool cue, the heavier weight was great for the big heavy balls and big screw shots but brutal on snooker touch shots, this may be a clue to JW's cue ball control. Or it could have been the black off the spot he missed due to a twitch

[itsnoteasy]

I am not keen on Jimmy Whites cue up at the bottom of the ball for every shot then move the tip up as you come through , it can't be advisable to play that way, I mean what has he ever done cueing like that( I'm just having a go at myself for having the cheek to criticise one of the greatest players ever lol).

Think of it this way, the talent ends 1/1000th of a second after the cue ball is struck, then the science starts.
