BigRigTom’s First Week with the Stroketrainer

Hi Doug,
I received the Stroketrainer last week and have been
working out on it according to your instructions. I was really
excited to get started so I put it together immediately. I placed it
on the pool table and step back to look at it and my first
impression was “This thing is so simple ……I probably blew $150
bucks”! I then reminded myself why I bought it to begin with. I
wanted to take my game up a level. I believed that I actually had a
pretty good stoke but like with everything there…. is always room
for improvement. If those pros that endorsed the Stroketrainer saw
benefits from using it, surely I too would benefit. I decided to
focus on the goal and do what needed to be done
I started with the 3 sets of 50 reps and that was a
piece of cake. I did that a couple of time and I then emailed you
and as per your response I stepped it up to 3 sets of 100 reps. The
second 100 reps I moved thru the stoke slowly like I would if I were
making a very soft delicate shot. Even doing the total of 300 reps
it only took a few minutes. Since I work at home I can mosey out to
the garage several times a day and put in a few minutes on the
Stroketrainer. I now have a new way to take my mind off the current
crisis in my work day while my subconscious works out the solutions
and options.
I am a believer now! I feel the difference already!
The muscles in my arm and shoulder are reacting and I know I’m
heading in the right direction. Now when I go thru my pre-shot
routine I can feel the effects of those sessions on the
Stroketrainer.
The moment I place my bridge hand on the table I can
sense my body falling in line and the shoulder, arm and wrist just
seem to know where to go.
I tested my new found feelings by doing "Fast Larry"
Guninger’s 101 Drill where I put the cue ball on the foot spot and
shot the center diamond on the head rail to see if I could make the
cue ball come back to my cue tip…IT WORKS! I have never been able to
do that with any great consistency and now it seems like it is just
a very natural thing, 5 times in a row and the sixth time missed
because I lost my concentration. The miss was NOT due to the stroke
and I knew that as soon as I hit the cue ball too!….WOW!… I have
learned something else already. Even with a really good stork it is
still important to concentrate on the other elements of a shot such
as cue ball contact point, aim (I use the ghost ball method mostly),
speed, and follow through.
