Wow, did you pick up a lot of points with this post.
Do yourself and everyone a favor and continue to talk about life and less about 8/7
as opposed to 9/8.
Billy I.
I never needed a coach in life. I always choose what to do and what too say.
Because I belive in what I say. And as for everyone else I let them think and belive what they want.
Its all up too them. Its thier decision not someone else . Telling them what to think or say.
Nobody can live youre life for you. And the proof is if everyone we no is gone.
We will still be the ones makeing our own dhoices and decisions.
And we still will be controling our lives. Weather its good bad or just passing time.
Everyone is one person.And some people love controlong other people and telling them what too do and how too think.
BUt the way I learned it we have too do it ourselves. Nobody can do it for us.
And the person it will affect is ourselves. And in life thier are lots off opeople who no a lot about different subjects.
That we can learn from. THats why I always say . If you want to no the answer go to someone who knowes andis qualified.
THey will be able to help you with the answer that you are looking for.
Life is a trial and error experience. And I have made thousands off errors and mistakes.
And thats ok because thats how we leaen. And even in pool you her meny different andwers.
But you have to listen too what they say about thier answer. Not just saying thats wright or wrong.
People need to explain why they think its wright or wrong and then you can draw your own concousion.
And Likr the 8 to 7 and 9 to 8 all people keepte doing is repeting that 8 to 7 is better then 9 to 8.
Well thier was no reason thoo keep saying the same think over and over. When everyone agreed.
The lession that I brought out and mneeded to be learned. was missunderstood and not seen.
And that was why I said it in the first place. And if Shane is the better shooter. THen Why wouldnt the longer game be better for the better shooter???????
And I no from playing the game myself meny times over and over. Witch I no nobody else did.
Yet they think they are qualified toanswer the qouistion. THat the never played or tried.
I no I wone more games playing Bugs 9 to 8 then I would have won 8 to 7.
I wish he was still her. Were he could answer that himself.
And then people would see why 9 to 8 is better for me then playing him 8 to 7.
And Bugs would definastly say 8 to 7 is better then 9 to 8.
But in this case I think he would change his opinion.
IF Freddy would play a player that he knowes he is smater then him.
But he is a better shooter Why would he want to make it easier for the better shooter.
And if the game comes down too the last ball. Weather its 8 to 7 or 9 to 8 .
Isnt everything the same. Both players needing one ball.
But running out will stop a player from running nine and out.then 8 and out.
And a great shooter will run 7 or eight balls just about the same were 9 to 8 will make a bigger difference.
Let a player run the balls and see howe meny times he will run 9 balls compaired too 8 balls.
See the difference. And you will see howe much difference it will make. If you could show all the games that Scott and Shane played.
And see howe the yhe balls were run. And if the game was different. one game makes a difference off two games. THats howe big it is.
And if it goes down too the game ball. Who is the favorite and by howe much.
And I would like too bet that Shane runs more 8 and outs then Scott runs 9 and out.
And I will take you up on me talking more about life then 8 to 7. If you talk more about you being a doctor. THen 9 to 8.
Back in my time I would probable say. I played more one pocket then anyone else.
And Probably 5 times as much as Billy in my playing time. And I can Honestly say that nobody studied the game the way that I did.
All most people did was learn all the shots and moves. And once they learned that.
THey thought they were a onepocket player. And the thinking todayhasant changed either.
And it is very important too learn all the shots and moves.
BUT how do you take it too a higher levele. THat is the qouistion.
Everyr one practices thier shooting their moveing thier position. Kiss shots and all the offensive things about the game. Even all the different banks.
And howe meny people realy study just the game. And practice improving thier knowledge.
Does anyone do that. I never have seen it. THe even practice kick shots . But not enough. THe stratigee off the game and learning to be smarter is not pracrticet. Why.
I have seen many onepocket players. Leaning too become a great player. And the learn to shoot bank howe too run the balls. And they learn the moves and te aggresive shots.
And they think they nothe game. And learning the shots and moves is everyones biggest part off learning rhe game.
Well all the good and great onepocket players know howe too do that. Even the avarage and weacker players no the moves and shots.
Better then the great players. But they cannot excicute the shot. So people but them in a different caragoty.
But what player do you no that has tahen the game to a higher levele? None.
WE no thier are players that will shoot and try some off the aggresive shots. And even shots that look imposable. THey are very creative in shooting shots that are different and unusual.
But howe meny realy think about howe to become a smasrther thinker. None. Because they dont think about it and thier mind is not geared up too thinkthat way.
So the go back too thier shooting and moveing and playing the style the have always played.
And thier game does not go too a higher levele. Because everything improves but thier thinking.
And they work on improveing thier skills. Witch is very good. But thier ismoretoo it thenn hat.
People would rather disagree then learn something. Because they think they no. But realy dont.
And people go along with it because they dont no either. And they listen too someone who has a repotation. And they seen themplay and talk.
And they dont see what is the way too go. And If its not explained and showen .Howe can people learn it.
And Billy is getting much better now then he was a year ago. When he would only say what shot.
Know he not onlt gives his shot. But he also explaines it . Witch is a big step forward.
And If you dont belive me go back 4 and 4 years. And see the posta from today.
Sonce I sarted with my wonderfull spellinf and sentences. Almost everyone is starting to explain.
What they are talking about and even thier shot selections. You cannot just give a answer without explaining. Whyyou choose that answer.
And your explination will realy be the back bone off your answer.
And the posts atr getting longer. And more information is given out by everyone.
And thats what needs to be done so people can understasnd it.
And by talking the coumunication will also be better.
WE have come a long ways. With all the breacking down off shots. And selections. And talking about what the players did in the game.
And everything on this site has reay gone up. Everything is better. And what I see and like the most. Is people are more opem.
