A Great coach with very strange ideas !!!!!

this is a peradon, one of many cues iv opened up to find the weight in the cue has been off set or put in at an angle, so as to make the cue play like plasticine regardless of the quality of the wood.. cris henrys likes to off set his lathe to instal the weight on his info

+ 10 to that !!!!!

What do you lot think about players listening to music while they play? I notice Elliot Slessor constantly has his ear piece in when he's practising, can this stop you clogging your mind with technique so you can just get down and play?

yeah Hendry used to do this too - is it against the rules to do this in a match I wonder?

thinking of flyin round the table clearing up to bat out of hell are you Geordie? Or maybe a slow precise clear up to this tune?

according to C Henry (his last post on Facebook) : Is time to re-write the official coaching manual. Stephen Hendry / ROS / Mark Williams / Peter Ebdon / John Higgins. They are all CB players. Mark Selby / Jud Tramp / John Murfy : Mixed (CB / OB players). Well Well Well, I thought it was only ROS.( Looks like we have Sum new developments). it gets better and better every day !!! Terry Davidson And Stu ,, looks like you have a lot of work to do guys !!! (changing the coaching manual ). good news for eye specialists. they're going to sell a lot of glasses. clearly, Chris can see something , that many of other players re not be able to see !!!! Chris Henry : a great coach with very strange ideas !!!!!

why are there going to be a lot of glasses sold , thanks - dont understand

Well I goggled famous bands from Newcastle - thought it was just Cerebral Cole n Jimmy nail - but apparently lots of others came from there - interestingly Jimmy Hendrix lived there a lot of his life and used to busk there!

My favourite band from Newcastle -

makes me want to get my old Sony Walkman on and skate around potting balls

Yeah Mark Knopfler's from Whitley Bay,Stings from Wallsend I think as well, his brother used to be our milkman he was a dead ringer for him as well.
If I have listened to music whilst playing it's been Mobys Ambient stuff through a Bluetooth earpiece so there's no wires getting in the way

Lol no but I was a primary school pupil when he was a teacher at St.Pauls in Cramlington so he might have gave me a small milk bottle

Chris knows how to cook up a storm with his Facebook posts with contentious ideas to rack up the comments. When not doing that he is a good coach with access to some of the games top players.

If we are talking of a coaching manual - I read it, tried it, binned it..........having remembered what is in it! As individuals we are far too diverse to have one approach for any technique or methods of skills acquisition.

The most effective players will not be able to tell you what they look at with any ease, this is a tiny detail that has been pushed to a part of their processing labelled 'this works!'. I played for years and couldn't have told you what I looked at until I broke my game down and found out I was CB, I switched to OB after reading many pieces of guidance. I now do what feels right at the time and my game is developing again and play my best when there is no unnecessary focus.

It is only when I am happy in my understanding of a client's personal view of the table will I tweak. Some need to plan more, some plan less. Some need to speed up, some slow down. Some need to forget, some remember. None of this is possible without speaking and listening with understanding between coach and client. I haven't found a manual that is written for all to understand containing techniques that are effective for all.

This is a very good post from a very good coach I would say

+1 to that Byrom, he's a good lad is Stupree.

but, there could of been a mistake. could these players be looking at the cue and not the cb on the bs and its been interpreted as the cb?
