back. Keep a steady, quiet stick. This will improve accuracy. No need for a big windup or cradle.
Bring your hands
Hands a little less than shoulder-width apart. When I’m
“on,” I keep them closer together. Spreading them farther apart helps with accuracy.
Generate torque in your midsection.

We’ll occasionally watch TV, like “Two And A Half Men,” especially the old ones with Charlie Sheen. We just discovered we could download movies too, so we just watched “The Dark Knight” recently.

MY GUILTY
PLEASURE I love Stoko’s, an establishment not far from
Loyola’s campus. Whoever’s around in the house, we’ll order together — mainly after hours late at night, but we’ll order them around-the-clock.
