    Okay I should be a pro at this category.....LOL
    Get a coach and listen to him and practice, practice practice. Then the real big one. THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS TO THIS GAME. If I had a dollar for every time someone on here told me this in the past three years I could fly across the pond for a couple weeks at the Star Academy.....

      Stupid post! So ignore people like Nic Barrow one of the best coaches in the game? he gives advice on here!

      Not everyone has a coach in their area and 'good' coaches are sadly few and far between. Perhaps you could add to the thread by recommending the OP a few coaches based on his location?

        Its just humour mate - well he made me laugh anyway.

        His point is actually valid too by the way you can give general coaching advice on a forum but he is actually right is he not? People have different ways of playing and different problems that you cant generally see - so to properly correct or give advice it is obviously better to see the person in the flesh and demonstrate the solution and observe their game first do you not think?

          Agreed it is much better to see somebody in Person as any advice given on here has an element of guess work without seeing the individual play. This is why in my reply I suggested providing names for potential coaches to help guess I am just a bit moody today .

            Exactly, the technical jargon you read on here at times isn't how anyone in their right mind should take too seriously and seeing a coach in the flesh is the only proper way to replicate real play.

                  No worries we all have them days. My advice - take a deep breath - treat yourself - buy a cue - get tickets for a show - book a holiday - Jump on your bike or in your car stick your favourite tune on get to the club line up the balls order the Jack Dan and smile at the world
