Billiards Game The Stroketrainer “The Beginning” .
Did you ever get an idea for something that would really help
billiard players?
Hi, My name is Doug Carter from ( Lynchburg, VA) and
after playing baseball/softball all my life there came a time when I
had to give it up. In January 1997 I had to have back surgery for a
bulging disk.
After my surgery I had a lot of nerve damage and was advised not
to play ball anymore.
Pool has always been a game that interested me. Like many people,
I had never played very much.
In September of that year I was asked to watch the US Open
Billiards championship in Chesapeake, VA, and I was amazed at how
good some of the players were.
At that same tournament I met Tom “Dr. Cue” Rossman. and
as I watched him play, I noticed he never missed a kick or a bank
shot.
I also listened to people who talked about how good an instructor
he was.
Later on after his match, I approached him and we started to
talk. I was interested in learning how to play better billiards and
I asked.
if he would be interested in giving me a few lessons; thankfully,
he said yes.
My first lesson was after the US Open. Dr. Cue noticed right off
that I had a bad twist in my wrist. He also caught what I called the
“chicken wing”.
I was throwing my arm in and out while in the process of
shooting. He said these would always be problems that would ruin my
game.
Immediately I asked if there was anything I could buy to help fix
this – and of course he said no.
He suggested I try to sight my stick over the diamonds on the
pool table and, while stroking, try to stop some of the movement
that way.
I realized my twist was so bad it would take forever for this to
work. I needed a barrier, something to force me not to do these
things.
We talked for a while about muscle memory and I told him that I
had an idea for something that would fix my stroke within a few
weeks.
Here you can see me using the Stroketrainer. Notice I am keeping my hand against the guide plate and following through with a nice slow motion while keeping a very steady bridge hand.
From the time Dr. Cue left I could think of nothing but fixing my
problems. I went to work and started drawing, and within three days
I walked out with my first stroke trainer.
That goes to show if you want it bad enough you can do it!
After a month of using the STROKETRAINER I went from a
rated 6 billiard player in our league to a 9 rated billiard player,
I was amazed how something like this could work so fast. It also
gave me the confidence to be a better player.
The STROKETRAINER did exactly what I had hoped it would.
Not only did it stop me from twisting my wrist and throwing my arm
in and out, it also gave me a steadier bridge hand so I was more
precise on where I was hitting the cue ball.
Everybody wanted to know what I was doing that was making me play
so good but I would not tell. I had an advantage over all the people
around me and I wanted to keep it.
I met with “Dr. Cue about a month later and he was amazed with
the StrokeTrainer concept. He encouraged me to bring it out, to help
everyone who had these problems improve their game.
Here you will see me shooting balls with it. This takes a lot of concentration and perfect alignment. By practicing this way, you will have fun while developing a perfect stroke.
Since then “Dr. Cue” and Tim “The Monk” Miller are now
using the StrokeTrainer in their clinics all around the United
States and they endorse its use by anyone having stroke problems. As
of 9/20/03 Buddy Hall is now using the Stroketrainer.
Also Ralf Souquet, the 2002 U S Open 9 ball Champion, is
starting to use the Stroketrainer after the 2003 U S Open, and has
said, "I am using the Stroketrainer to perfect my left hand stroke
and it is also going to be used as a teaching aid for my students."
Max Eberle is another outstanding Pro Player who has found
good use from the Stroketrainer and "gives his full endorsement
for this great product"
