Thoughts on players who seemingly take Zero practice strokes, before shooting / final follow through?

S
I don't buy the one size fits all thing either. My question is what kind of pool do you play? Before anyone answers or ignores that, lemme add that most "winning" pool is is dead, cut and dried, outs. Now you can probably get the size perfect for just that - IDK... Point being, that leaves a significant portion of vital pool or even vital game to perfect with the one focal length.

Guys used to walk into a place, grab a stick, and just figure out what it would do for them.

I haven't noticed much difference in between conditions and I've traveled and played all over the country and in many places throughout the world; however, many people have reported difficulty adjusting to conditions when they're not used to the extremes. Florida and Arizona are extremes.

I was using that as a potential example for those people. Let me put it another way. The only benefit to ld technology is that CBs path is closer to the original aimline, so the deviation for adjusting for side spin is less. Any time an adjustment is finer in scope it will be less affected by uncontrollable variables, like dirty balls, cloth, or environmental conditions like excess humidity, extremely dry conditions, etc.

Any variability will have less effect due to the minimized disalignment from the shotline.

Now mind you, this is less true for people who use BHE. I really don't want to get into the details of it right now, I'm kinda tired, just got home from taking my wife out, but I do hope that the above cleared up what I meant a little bit.

No, unfortunately it didn't clear up anything for me. Clarifying after the fact that your example was only meant for a certain group of people, while misleading, I don't really care about that.
We (or should I say you) are talking about the fact that "The only benefit to ld technology is that CBs path is closer to the original aimline, so the deviation for adjusting for side spin is less." While I don't totally agree I'm willing to ignore that also.

Once you add in "Any time an adjustment is finer in scope it will be less affected by uncontrollable variables, like dirty balls, cloth, or environmental conditions like excess humidity, extremely dry conditions, etc." is where it goes off the rails for me.

IMO, with lower deflection shafts the main benefit is (which you've said numerous times) less squirt. The things highlighted above in red, again IMO, have zero to do with amount of squirt.

Push Foul Explanation

I had a follow up question to the “push” ball encounter.
Is it likely that the cue tip, moving in an upward motion after the hit, can brush the cue ball a second time?
I constantly tell myself to keep the tip on the same plane, especially if I’m trying to draw or follow.
I hate to call that kind of stuff, but it irks me.

Dr. Dave established that it does in fact happen and will leave a strobed trail of chalk marks.

BTW, not everyone has an "inner voice" or the same level of interaction with an inner voice.

Not Everyone Has an Inner Voice Streaming through Their Head

The extent to which people experience “inner speech” varies greatly, and the differences matter for performing certain cognitive tasks

inner voice talks too much
(who you talkin' about?)

Not everyone has one that knows what it's talking about either. I'm guessing normal would be language based - native tongue(s) etc. I think in English and probably adhere to grammatical logic as well.

well that's good. overall the production has been subpar, no commentary, choppy streams

They don’t see the point in footing the bill for commentary, and I assume that’s because there’s many thousands of people who just watch their favourite streamer commentate on it via. Douyin

Really costs cut from every corner this year.
