Seems directly at odds with the quotes from the interview I posted above.

Indeed. I think a lot of pool players have no idea how much respect elite snooker players have for all variants of pool and how good top pool players are at their game. They shouldn't be confused with the mouthy big shot down the snooker club who beats all comers on the pool table at the bar at the end of his session and tells them how easy it is.

Johnny Archer finally pays off Oscar Dominguez

Just kinda a so-so Archer fan, like the way Oscar and Ernesto have behaved over the years. not too sure about Ernesto forfeiting to Oscar over the years. They could have done it without being open about it so there is at least that! Anyway, moving on!

why? this is more honest. ernesto doesn't want to win over oscar. the ko brothers play it out but split anyway. a final between them two is just make believe

Discussion: Focusing on the cue ball compared to other sports

So in other words even though they are looking OBL it still means they are looking CBL???? That's interesting. I don't think anyone is "dismissing" CBL, its common when breaking and also when shooting frozen rail shots or while jacked up over a very close ball, during shots like that the ball strike is our focus because when must get a clean hit, during shots where access to the cue ball is unlimited our key focus is where the cue ball is going because it is easier to get a clean hit. I think it boils down to whichever task is more difficult is the point we must focus the most attention on.

No I'm not claiming anything about other player's motivations. Just that CBL works period.

I have my own personal opinion about this. I think everybody is looking at both. Or at least most people. I mean you’re looking at the object ball past the cube ball. Some people may be focusing more on one than the other, but you’re still looking at both.

Absolutely. I know that I focus more on the cue ball until my backstroke and the pause on my backstroke where my focus shifts to the object ball.

To send an object to a distance with pinpoint accuracy we must focus on the target. in pool I think the target is the object ball. We can accurately strike a cue ball eyes closed if we line up on it eyes open. Not so when golfing or batting, you need pinpoint accuracy for the ball strike but are satisfied with a general area for the ball target. I guess you have to decide which is the target, tip to cue ball contact or object ball cue ball contact. I dunno, it just seems to me that your focus has to be on what is the key part of the activity, in pool for me the key part is the object ball contact, I think there is enough footage of the guys that earn a living at this game to conclude they do the same. For me and golf I am happy to put the ball somewhere green and in front of me. 😂

I have a part in my PSR that entails rehearsing the shot as it lays, in mid air. Simply air shoot the shot right over the cue ball. You can test not just the speed but all the other dynamics as well. Yes, english, throw, CIT, SIT, anything else that might concern you on any given shot.
