Me and you talked at the derby, after you left, I thought “man I wanted to ask him about how music compares to pool” just because I’ve been a musician since I was a little kid just like you and I love when you compare pool to music I would love for you to do it more. Thanks for being so cool. It was awesome meeting you at the derby. Have a great day. CJ - Jesse.

Thanks champ for sharing your knowledge

can someone pls explain to me what it means to "triangulate the angle"? I understand the centering part but if im only lining up to the center or edge of the ball how do i get the exact line of the pot...?

these stories made me realize the story of Kid Delicious , could you add his life to your movie and have you ever met him

You mentioned you knew the same people as Keith Mcready. Did you know Dean De Forest?

Hello CJ I live here local by the Derby and go every year and was so looking forward in to running in to you when you said in one of your videos that you was coming again didn’t see you I was really excited to meet you and was wanting to get your autograph on my case hopefully down the road next time

Hahaha yes practice doesn't make perfect.... perfect practice though? That can get ya there :P

Looks like South Houston lake? Near Bristol Tenn

I hope you get your movie going, CJ. Someone was doing a low budget film on Louie. ua-cam.com/video/FbsySquYJRQ/v-deo.html lol, not sure it will win any awards. St. Louis and Columbia, Missouri pool was a lot of fun back then. Crazy wild days.

I'm glad you mentioned Surfer Rod. I saw him play a few times in Wendover Nevada a few times when he lived in Ogden Ut. What a charcter and gambler he was back in the day.

My mentor was the quintessential hustler.. the only time he was named was winning the Miller lite tournament in 1984-ish (won as a underdog vs Scotty Townson) & then got 2nd 1992 (as the favorite) see a pattern?.... But I watched him bust Grady & then barely beat a, blind, 1 armed guy in a wheelchair.. & The misses where next level. I'd keep track & have him show me how he missed & 9 times out of 10, it was purposeful.. His art was playing just barely above his opponent's speed. Ask Danny Diliberto about Mike from WV

Hey CJ, Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. I find them invaluable. I am waiting with great anticipation for your training aids to become available. Thanks again.

That touch of inside kicked in.. 😉🙏

Is it possible to improve in your 70s ?

C.J.This is arguably the best episode you have ever done. You let us see a side of you that anyone would want to be best friends with. I also want to thank you for mentioning Surfer Rod, I was shocked at just how clever and devious the media is with scripting, after listening to this and connecting the dots it's like I believed the world was square my whole life and I just found out that its round. ( LOL) And you really showed us how to look out for it. Thank you, because of you I AM AWAKE NOW!! LOL. Yes absolutely I want to order your book and your training materials right when I get home tomorrow. I am so glad you are offering that personally signed too!! And that you are personally handling the distribution and everything at least in the begining. Well you said we could ask questions, so CJ my questions are, What cue were you playing with at your time in the Mosconi Cup? What cue did you use to beat Earl and Efren? and finally your most favorite cue of all time? Thank you CJ, for the guidance you've given us in pool and in life. "The game is the teacher" 👍

Another great video! Just getting over both total knee replacement surgery, and in another month or so, i would like to get some pool tutorials, lessons , or term which best fits. A little more healing and might be able to come down to TN. If you are still in that area, or if you get close to Paducah KY, let me know. Hope to see you soon.

Another high quality pool movie would be fantastic. The thing about pool is that there's an underworld element to pool. Maybe not as much today, but pool still has that legacy reputation. That's important for a pool movie and to capture that dark underworld element. Why? Because people are drawn to the datk underworld. That's why mafia movies were so popular. Non pool players would be drawn to such a movie like they were for The Hustler and Color of Money. You notice how a serious golf movie was never made? There's no darkside to golf. Only golfers watch golf. Still can't wait for your book. Us guys that have been around the game for decades just can't get enough of pool stories from great road players.

I definitely will try to be one of the first people to buy your trainer. 👍

I remember seeing an interview with Rafael Martinez and he spoke very highly of a flatter tip (on his playing cue, elkmaster). Your mention about the big cueball/flatter tip brought to mind David Matlock (regarded by many as one of the best ever with the big cueball); did he play with a flatter tip in his prime?

Thanks for putting out an audiobook format - I'll buy as soon as it's available!

My man! What ever you do, don’t play CJ in ping pong…🍿👀

Great video!! I look forward to what is ahead!!

a new movie will be fantastic

Hey brother. Can't wait for the book (print and audio). *Did you ever come through Milwaukee in 70's-present? Bill Meilke? George Brunt? George Pawelski? Willie Munson? Larry Nevel? *Or The Carom Room in Beloit, WI. Jeff Carter? John Brandon ("Rebel")? David Coles (Sr & Jr)? Love ya bruh. Thank you bigtime for all you do! ⚪️❤️💪

Cj you oughta get someone on to tell some Vernon Elliot and Ronnie Allen stories. really like your content

if I was better than shane I would hit the circuit since he made 1,000,000 last year according to google.

CJ, I was at the Dirby the first and last Friday of it.. talked to lots of pros and really enjoyed that and watching them play. I was sitting directly behind Nick Varner when Fedor and Shane played 1pocket on the 5x10… got to talk with Nick afterwards and to Fedor… Had a really great time… but to be honest… I was so hoping to run into you out there.. you and I are pretty much the same age and I always loved watching you play back then and I always looked up to you! One day I’ll get the honor of meeting you and a part of my bucket list will be complete. Thank you so much for all you do and all the really great story’s life on the road!!

I'd love to hear the podcast you were referring to with you and Keith and the other guys. Love your "Adventures On The Road". Very entertaining and educational. Please keep em coming! Thanks.

Looking forward to the book. Do you remember who you played in Minneapolis years ago? Was Gentleman Jim's your only stop?

Did you know a pool player from Missouri called John Dudley

Soon as they are available I want an autographed stance and stroke trainer will I be able to buy these without not belong to your website ?

I tried going on Amazon and get audio book and it said Amazon didn’t allow it because it only let me download a sample

There’s a book called the inner game of tennis that’s a great book. It’s about the psychological warfare with your opponent in 1v1 sport

When you gonna hit up some local tournaments in the area?

Your game is awesome and you r bad to the bone ..your my second favorite player only behind efren ...thanks for the video

Hi CJ. First of all, I’m Filipino and I admite ur style. I love ur attitude. U speak from the heart and u r honest. Don’t worry about these guys that have nothing to say good about people including u. They are just jealous. Thanks for putting up these videos. U r helping a lot of people improve in pool and perhaps in life. To me u r an excellent teacher of the game. More power and God bless!

Cj could you post some more Vernon Elliot stories

This works great... really improved my game. Problem shot i have is a medium long slight cut shot... I tend to pull it back away from the pocket. Pull it😢 but extreme cuts I usually make them. Any tips on this kind of shot?

love your videos!

Right On. CJ. Eyes wide opened

I agree with what you said about going through the pain and getting stronger. People would tell me about the "grind," and I could not relate seeing as I did not get tried. I may not be the best pool player right now, but I have the best physical endurance while playing because I run 5-6 miles every other day and do resistancetraining training. Even before my tournaments, I'll practice the same day up to 10 hours before playing. Even as I wait for my next match, Im practicing. I would do this so much tell my rotator cuff would get a sharp pain. At that point, I was sore for 2 weeks before I started doing targeted exercises. After that, the pain went away, and I no longer experienced pain. I just adapted.

I learned in my 30s all by myself!!!

So I hear you finally learned about gripping the butt tight? Raymond

Crazy you have been to Hutchison Kansas. My uncle lived there most of his life, tell he passed away recently and I would visit him often. Did not think there was a lot of pool action there with it being a small quiet town. Have you ever played any pool in my hometown of Wichita Kansas in the past?

Nice Applecap. There's only one way to get to Carnegie Hall

I definitely will check out your audio book. I like that you are putting out more material. Your center to center aiming tips changed my game recently. At first it seemed like it was not working for me, however I just needed to perfect my stroke and fundamentals more. I combined this with a tip I got from the owner of my local pool hall to practice playing with my eyes closed. I went on to run out on and beat some people 150-200 Fargo points higher than me. Even without my handicap I would have one because I won more games than they did. Can't thank you enough man.

Hi champ, Finding the center is easy when the ball is straight or when the pockets are lined up. But what if the ball is not straight, like when you want to cut the ball? How do you make sure it's lined up properly?

I intentionally play to the level of my opponent because I only play for fun. But I have beaten plenty of former US and World champs. When I was a kid Charlie Williams would stay at my house when he was in town. We would play for hours into the night and we would go back and forth all night. Now a days the only guy who knows my real speed is myself and my home table.

Can't believe people didnt figure you guys out. That's easy to do.
