hundred does not become official until you past thirty balls again.
5. The first shot in any rack is free. In other words, your run in the next rack does not begin until

The stroke, minus the distraction, equals the shot. A great way to cut down on outside interference is to breathe while you
are landing on the cue ball. Make this breath a conscious effort to eliminate thought. You must associate this breath as a key
to concentration on the shot you are shooting.
I was running racks and came to a critical part of my run. My mind tried to tell me that this shot would spring me into
unknown territory as far as high runs are concerned. When I landed on the cue ball my mind was still trying to warn me. But
when I drew in my breath, all thought disappeared as that is my key to eliminate thought. In other words, I trained my mind to
respond to that drawing in of my breath as a devise that brings me in to focus on the shot at hand. This is a remarkable tool
to develop.
When you draw in your breath while you land on the cue ball, allow all thought to disappear as a result of this action.
Interfering thoughts have no where to go but leave your mind. You don't focus on the thoughts that are leaving, you allow
freedom to enter you as the thought process is canceled. I will celebrate your success when you can achieve this method of
shooting balls.

To all the Cave Dwellers who are in the Masters of Art in Pocket Billiards program. I have the new
version complete. It is on line. Email with a request and I will set you up with a link so you can have
possession of it. I can honestly say there is no program in this game today that will do for you what
The Masters will. Those who are Cave Dwellers can find out more information about The Masters
here: the Masters of Art in Pocket Billiards.

There is a lot of information I share with Cave Dwellers and Masters only. I am not going to give away my 25 years of research and
experience to pool players who can't comprehend what I am talking about. For the rest of my career I am going to work with my
students only.
I have something here I want to share with you. When you get ready for a shot, there are certain keys that come up in our efforts.
For instance, if you line up and you are not in proper position a signal will be sent to your brain. Some of us ignore that signal and
miss the shot exactly the way we think we will. So you can understand how powerful these signals can be. If we learn to use
positive signals we will be better served and increase our skill level performance by a large margin. CONTINUED......

| THE KEYS TO SUCCESS!! |
| Now I am working on my bridge, and have adopted the "pro grip" with great results. It feels a little uncomfortable at first but after about three or four days, I can say that it works wonders as my bridge-hand-cue is rock solid and brings a tremendous confidence in shooting. I now look at a shot. any shot, I know in my mind that I will make it easily. Crossing my fourth finger under the thumb gives me the support that I needed. I always thought that the pros used it as a show, how wrong I was! Please send me your revised Masters Program and I will work on it diligently. Jacques Dupont |
| Great tip from Jacques Dupont down below!! |
| Glad you put the emphasis on the need to be serious about the whole personal development program. I have experienced the agony and defeat of keeping only a partial commitment. Thankfully, there is still a lot of fire left in the belly for my life in billiards. A good friend said, after missing a shot, that he is just a shell of what he used to be. I automatically replied that I am just a shell of what I will be. That stuck with me. Chuck |

To my fellow Cave Dwellers,
I wanted to write and give an update on my progress. I made a break through in my game today.. I have been practicing all of the
information posted on the Cave Dwellers site, therefore I have not been making many balls because I am perfecting all of the
flaws in my stroke, stance, sighting etc. I was checking that my tip came to rest in a downward motion on all shots and noticed
that I was death gripping my cue. I was so tied up in the other aspects that I was clenching my grip on all shots therefore I was
missing very easy shots. It seems like my stance, alignment, stroke is all in line now and I all I have left is to trust my stroke and
go into the one shot at a time mode! I am very excited and cant wait to enter the land of no thought and have the shots shoot
themselves! I could very easily spend all day piling rocks if work didn't get in the way! I want the next e-mail i send you to say I
have reached the 100 mark!

| This am I went down to my pool table and began piling rocks as usual, then after 4 racks, started the touch no rail exercise. Three racks later did 1 each the 13 ball and the four ball exercises.., then I realized that I had not missed a shot!!! You know what? the next shot was missed by a foot! Wow what the brain can do to us. Since these 100 ball runs experiences with Cave Dwellers I can now call out my next shot's position and pocket before hand. This is exciting stuff. It makes playing pool so much fun. Please add my total run of 122 to the Cave Dwellers list. Not bad for an ole fart Eh! Will be 74 this coming Saturday. Jacques |
