Audience Sharking (Unintentional, but INSANE?)

I think most of us can play in a quiet, respectful tournament environment.
...and in a crowded, loud room with people walking around and whatnot.

It's when it is supposed to be the former and suddenly one person turns it into the latter that things get weird.

Yeah, I feel like this is sorta the point. If you're playing Thursday night beer league in 6-table bar, you sort of expect this kind of thing and tune it out. I think in the position Kristina was in, it might be kinda unexpected, though. How egregious is left as an audience exercise.

Discussion: Focusing on the cue ball compared to other sports

Good thread. FYI, this topic is covered in detail on the eye pattern "best practices" resource page. Those interested in this topic should check out that entire page. Here's a video from the page that covers most of the important points:


Here's an excerpt from the page listing slight advantages of OB-last focus:

  1. The distant focus helps you maintain the desired aim since you can clearly see what is called the aiming “shot picture” at the OB (where your line of aim is relative to the OB that you see while “aiming while standing“).
  2. The distant focus helps you deliver the cue more straight toward your target. This is the case in other sports like with free throws in basketball (with focus on the rim), bowling (with focus on the arrows down the lane), baseball pitching (with focus on the target over the plate), horseshoes (with focus on the stake), and darts, archery, and shooting (with focus on the target), where you always want your final focused gaze to be at the distant target. This helps maintain straight aim and helps ensure straighter implement delivery in the target direction. Although, analogies with other sports are far from perfect (see more below).
  3. Focus on the OB helps ensure you keep your head and body still during and after the stroke, instead of looking up from CB focus to see where the CB is heading.
  4. With OB focus, you can better diagnose and learn from each shot since you can more clearly see the direction the CB heads and where it hits the OB, without needing to move your eyes or head during the shot.

Regardless, each person obviously needs to choose the eye pattern that is most effective for them an an individual.

Every time a thread like this comes up, I add to and improve the eye pattern "best practices" resource page. I hope I am able to add even more insight from this thread. Check out the page if you haven't visited it before (or in a while). It is much more complete than it used to be.

As for the OP, it would be interesting to see before and after videos of him shooting including his eye pattern. I wonder if it was the "quiet eye" principle that gave him his perceived improvement.

So after really experimenting with this for about a month now I’ve come to a conclusion about a few things. After some 8+ hour practice sessions over this weekend one thing I notice is that my eyes are not quiet at all. This was happening subconsciously and took a while for me to realize. So I started playing racks with CBL and OBL and realized when I focus on the OBL my eyes were shifting depending on what I was looking at last.

For example, when executing CBL, my eyes would shift to the OB right before contact. When executing OBL, my eyes would shift to the CB right before contact.

My initial perceived accuracy about CBL could be completely incorrect although I was able to runout racks of 9ball practicing both methods.

I’m going to really focus on quieting my eyes with each method his week, CBL and OBL, and I’m going to post videos this week of me playing some racks for all of us to analyze.
