I can see how some or all of these techniques might help someone figure out where they should be aiming.
But my initial thought was that using methods like these would be inconsistent with good play because they require the player to employ the wrong part of the mind: an expert performing a complex motor task does so in the main using subconscious, autonomous, control systems. If the conscious mind starts to get involved (in pool for example, the player consciously thinking about what his hand or eyes are be doing), then performance tends to suffer.
But thinking about it, this may not be right. Consciously thinking about some aiming rule might actually be helpful, especially under pressure, since it might keep conscious mind occupied reducing the chance of it interfering with stroke execution.
I would be genuinely interested to find out whether there are any good players who use anything like this when they play. I don't think that I have met any - at least I don't recall it ever coming up in conversation.
The biggest complaint among players and fans about the WNT schedule is that Matchrooom takes too long to finalize and publish it. So now MR pubs the schedule of an annual early and you think it's ... not good?LMAO, they already tossed up the dates for next year's event.
It's like Boxing, I have way more respect for the man who ain't afraid to step into the ring with the best and lose than the guy who won't to protect his "record", that man's record now means coward foreverI'm sure ducking is nothing new.
Winners like to win.
Larry, 'Excellent Info'!often the discussions about systems or routines diverge with many saying you cant play with all that crap in your head
and they are right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but you cant get good until you consciously go thru the steps in your head (stage 3) and master them and then dont have to think about them (stage 4)\

The assumption is that to move from conscious competence to unconscious competence, one must exert considerable effort and “train harder.”
This assumption can appear valid because top performers tend to train and practice more than their competitors. (Former all-stars like Michael Jordan in basketball and Tiger Woods in golf were prime examples.)
However, unconscious competence comes not through “more effort” but through a kind of relinquishing or “surrendering” within oneself.
It’s often when you reach the point where you think you’ll never achieve any level of mastery that the transformation unfolds. Mastery is realized not by will but by allowing or letting go.
