Steve Davis letter
24 Apr. 09
Dear Steve Davis.
How are you, I hope this note finds you and yours in good
health.
My subject is copyright Steve. Last night on TV you discussed
with a BBC authority, snooker technique and the differences in cue action,
length of back swing etc.
You mentioned Steve the new “Go through the ball” strike as if it was public snooker property
that you have always known. This is not true!
“Go through the
ball” “Spear through the ball” “Drive through the ball” Are all
expressions from the Fine Art book, The Fine Art videos and DVDs plus The Fine
Art website
Naturally Steve if you can produce a dated article proving
this snooker expression is yours originally; and I’m a thief, I will sincerely
apologise to you, plus a generous donation to the Paul Hunter Fund. I have made
this same offer to Terry Griffiths Clive Everton and others when they infringed
Fine Art copyright; without a response or apology.
I also reprimanded Clive and Terry for selling off coaching
diplomas without reminding overseas students that the copyright belongs to Joe
Davis an Englishman. I thought Clive was wrong to allow Terry to create a
“Diplomas for Sale ” family
business. The voice of snooker should be impartial and informed all
members (if legal) the right to enjoy this selling perk.
Taking over or adopting the Joe Davis coaching method was
wrong! Terry should have got written permission from Joe’s widow or heir. Joe
was Mr Original, the games first coach.
Copyright stabilises the world’s commerce Steve and
“Coaching Snooker” should not be excluded from copyright status. Is the Joe
Davis coaching method null and void?
Terry and Clive will be pleased that you are now in the
“Copyright Loop”. As you know Steve it will become a court case. I sincerely
hope that snooker does not experience another Lord Archer (witness box) drama.
Clive and Terry fought very hard to own the Fine Art
copyright, and then decided that all snooker
copyright to be null and void without informing the membership.
The last thirty odd years of BBC TV proves conclusively that
the game never changed until the Fine Art introduced the “Science of Physics”
at the Barbican in York . Big John
Parrott for the first time ever demonstrated on TV the stun run through. (With
words).
It is amazing Steve that the “Don’t forget to follow through” has not been heard for many
years and was the bases of coaching, plus “its all trial and error” and “keep
your head still”. Going through the ball is a contradiction of the follow
through, yet Clive uses them both plus a recommended long back swing for
various lengths of screw backs in the Basic Skills DVD
The Fine Art method
is free to copy but not for commercial use or to enhance a reputation. Please
inform your employers that snooker the Fine Art method of coaching is an
alternative to the Joe Davis copyright. Written permission may be obtained on
request. Best Wishes Steve Daniel Marner@mrheyyoutwitterfacebookblogger.
