CJ, just wanted to say hello for my father who grew up around you. Lawrence (Larry) Gibson is his name. He said he wishes you would have let him shoot 1 ball in the 1 game he ever played you. He still remembers you and he wasn't sure if you did or not. Hope life is treating you well sir. Sincerely, the Gibsons.
You showed me how to shoot two rail shots while playing One Pocket in 1994 ….. I was having trouble hitting them until you told me when I think I’m cutting the ball enough, just cut it a little more ! It works every time to this day . Thanks for the great advice years ago and today ( Two Rail Tony ) lol 😂
@@cjwiley1541 Same to you CJ , I’m very happy for you , sharing your knowledge with people . You have always been helpful to us local guys here in Texas . Now traveling and spreading your knowledge, it’s awesome 👏….. Stay safe and enjoy my friend 💯…… I’ll be out and around in a month or so , I’ll definitely look you up for a few hrs of lessons and maybe go Mountain biking!!!!! 👍🏻
I just wanted to say thank you very much for your input and advice your head feet an tip going to the bed of the table is the most important things to know so everything you are saying is true
I REALLY wish I found your channel awhile ago! Thank you for sharing such valuable knowledge! EDIT: I just joined your "Mastering Pocket Billiards". I'm pretty stoked to say the least. Great website CJ!👍
Thank You! Glad you like it there's a Lot of knowledge there, I'd recommend watching and also doing the drills from the Precision Pool Drills section. Shoot Straight 💪
I'm in Florida now driving down to Punta Gorda, could stop through Tampa if not tonight in a few days.....email me and I'll coordinate asap cjwiley@cjwiley.com Thanks Doug, I look forward to it
Good tips and good analogies... I just checked, when I go into a proper or formal stance for myself my foot is parallel to my stick... Quick story... I am not big on drills but one thing I do is practice straight in shots... If you can't hit a ball straight in consistently then your game is off to begin with... I do a rack or two of stop shots, power draw shots and follow shots... I always had a problem making power draw shots... Mainly because you have to hit the ball fast and lose accuracy... I struggled for a few years maybe only making about 2 to 3 out of 10 shots... Now since I changed my stance a couple of months ago and and my hand is right next to my hip I can make 7 to 8 out of 10... I still have to work on my technique for consistent long draws but the frustration is over...
Yes the stance is much more important than most players think and the way it's been taught in the USA doesn't allow the alignment to be precise ....I learned it outside the country or I'd never reached my fullest potential. The Game is the Teacher 💪
You may be in luck I think CJ said in his last video, (in the comments), that he would be in Florida till March. Hope he gets back to ya, and good luck with your game.
Yes, I'm driving from Jacksonville to Punta Gorda today and will be in Florida for a few weeks. Email me asap and we'll coordinate cjwiley@cjwiley.com Thanks twys
I am very left-eye dominant and attempts to square up and center my vision have always failed to stick. I do undercut most of my misses. Maybe using the C:C or C:E aiming will help. Thanks again. Was that park you were going to Folly Beach State Park? Nice area.

Love your stories.
Hey CJ any chance you’ll be down in Florida anytime soon? It would be awesome to get some private lessons from you. No better way to learn!
