For informing me about BHE. Now my game ( not that I had one to begin
with), is totally screwed up. I lost $10 last weekend playing a guy
who NEVER beats me. That's almost 6 X-large cups of Tim Hortons
coffee!

Now, how do I get this stupid shit out of my mind? Give me something
else to think about that won't screw up my game. :-)

You are welcome.

How is it screwing you up? Are you trying to use it? If so, just stop
using it. Problem solved.

Don't use english!

A lot can be done with follow, stop, and draw.

I think it screwed me up because I think I was using BHE before I knew
about it. I think I would get down on the shot and then decided how
much and what kind of english (if any) I would use. Therefore, not
moving my bridge hand and only moving the rear hand.

I will adapt, it will just take a little time.

Easier said than done, but you are correct.

I suspect that many other players are using it without knowing it thinking
that is just how you apply english? Maybe it is... It does seem to be more
natural than putting your bridge hand offset to the cueball center and (when
properly applied) it allows you to use the same non-english aim lines. It
does *seem to work* at least as well as my old way of applying english. I'm
still not ready to completely abandon it.

I suspect you are right. I also wonder how this might relate to Ernies
article on tip placement vs aiming errors?

Aiming system? Sighting system? Elbow drop? Pause at the back swing?

Pick your poison :-)

OK I think I have finally found an aiming system that will work for
me.

This system actually works. LOL

Think about how you're supporting poor Canadian widows and orphans by
buying Dead Tim's coffee and donuts? They are counting on your support.

Oh, and, whatever you do, don't think about the chalk spots on the cue
ball...

Dean

P.S. I appreciate Hank's support for a Canadian institution...

P.P.S. Did I get you with the thinking about the chalk spots? Don't
notice them...
