I just did a few racks trying a *very* quiet eye, unwavering from the OB as I paused at CB address and again at backstroke. Wow, that's really effective!!!!! I think I'll incorporate it into my game regardless of whether I'm freewheelin' it and shooting quickly shot-to-shot, or if I'm a little...

Did you word it this way on purpose? Lol Do you collapse your shoulder (drop your elbow)? If not, focus on keeping your elbow still rather than keeping your head still. It’s hard to jump up if you are keeping your elbow up.

The study noted a relationship between higher skill level and longer quiet eye interval. But I don’t think we can conclude definitively whether quiet eye is coincidental or causal. In other words, we still don’t know if higher skilled players employ longer quiet eye interval as a methodology...

I set it up and drilled it before my last post, my cue tip contacting center of the CB, no left or right spin on the CB. Of course if it’s at a slight angle, you don’t aim center of CB to center of OB. And of course the cue is most definitely followed through precisely lined up with the center...

Huh? Sorry, I don’t understand your thinking. I’m out. Best wishes that you find what you need.

Glad to see we are homing in on getting you your answers in terms you can absorb. 1) When I use the ghost ball, I don't look at the CB/OB contact point. If I do, I typically steer the CB where I am looking, and it usually hits thick. On cuts greater than 1/2 ball hit, the center of the CB is...

I'm going to assume that you understand squirt, swerve, and throw. If not, read up on these topics. See Billiards University resource pages. SO MUCH great material. https://billiards.colostate.edu/ Reading through (some of!) your novels, I have two diametrically opposed gut reactions. 1)...

Wow, Vincett, that’s a lot of words! A couple of questions: what is your skill level? How is your stroke delivery? Asked another way, how good are you at the Mighty X drill? Is it possible your misses are stroke related and not aiming problems?

Responding to my own post: What if I consider all shots difficult? 🤓😜🤪 Do I get 45 seconds? Rules should be specific not subject to interpretation.

Time guidelines are 20 seconds normal shots, 45 difficult shots.

I intensely dislike this rule. I fully understand that tournaments must remain on schedule, but captains must be aware of the match scores and the time such that they don't end up throwing a low SL player at the end against a high SL player when time runs out and this rule takes effect. As if...

I purchased a CF shaft from a local custom cue maker. He most definitely matched the joint precisely to the butt of my player cue.

Do you notice a reduction in the tendency to squeeze the cue?

I dunno about all that but these guys can maneuver around on a clustered very small table pretty darned well. I can certainly appreciate their pattern play and shot making in often very close quarters.
