Dr. Cue and Shawn, 1 degree of separation
check this out...
I know you have seen him clean it up on ESPN2 with his amazing trick shots.
That's right. An autographed, personalized picture of Dr. Cue. I think I am the only one that got one. And I didn't even have to ask, he offered. Can you dig it?
Dr. Cue came to PNCA earlier this week, and I got to hang with him for a while. He did his show during the lunch break, and then all the students had to go back to class, and I hung with him for another hour with a couple others and chatted with him and asked him questions about pool...
ya know...normal stuff like...
felt quality, high right english, the geometry of the table, various systems of pool playing, the "tip" unit of measuring english, right brain vs left brain training, etc.
Normal Dr. Cue stuff. It rocked.
So, as he showed us his "finale"...a 15 ball, crazy, all up in yoru face, explosion of pool excitement, we asked him questions about how he practices and learns tricks. So I suggested that he try it with his eyes closed. He said he had never thought of that, and that he liked the idea, and would practice it, maybe to use in a future event. He tried it while we were there with them closed, it didn't work out so well.
So if you are ever watching Dr. Cue beat up on a guy in the ESPN trick shot championship, and he rocks out the "starburst" trick....with his eyes closed....that was my idea.
here's the "Starburst" trick from some other show he did.
Notice that his eyes are open. In the future they may not be.
He will then rename the trick..."Shawnburst"...and by will, I mean won't.

I dunno....but Dr. Cue looks like he should have been in "Fargo."

I'd probably be better at pool if I played with my eyes closed.
