More hilarity from Strickland and Sigel in Accustats series...

At the timestamped video below, Strickland is playing Sigel in one pocket and briefly comes to the table with radio earmuffs that I hadn't seen the likes of since the 90s.
By the time he returns the table he has taken them off, but it cracked me up. Noticing the date of the video was 2017 made it even funnier given the large array of options for noise cancelling headphones worn much more subtly...

Not only the ear muffs but the huge clubs on the tips of his fingers. 😂
Imagine an alien coming to earth to study humans and the game of pool and Earl of that era is who they find, there is no doubt he would suffer being anally probed on the mother ship.

A Couple Of Diamond Professional Observations

I modified the CS diagram. It's more like what I was talking about now. The original post might have made it seem it was a much easier shot. The angle on the new diagram is much steeper now.
Yeah those side pockets can be unforgiving, but that shot is still not all that difficult in the side. That said I'm sending that ball down to the much more forgiving corner pocket the vast majority of the time.

What beginner pool tip do you wish you learned sooner?

You misunderstood my answer. By "vertabrate movement," i was referring to how movement works in all vertabrate animals, not the bones of the spine.

That little elbow ossilation is a tell tale sign that the player is moving naturally... more in line with how vertabrates evolved to move. And yes, it is more efficient. Not only does it feel more effortless, but it literally uses fewer calories. I'm sure you could see how saving calories and needing less food would act as a driver behind this evolutionary development.

As I said, coordinated multi joint movements and force production are complex. You can take entire university level courses on the topic and not cover it all. So yes, reducing a multi joint movement down to muscle A back, muscle B forward is laughably over simplifying it.

"Leave stroking to the subconscious" is the best we got right now. Maybe one day someone will explain the details to yall in a book ;)
can i get a signed copy....:giggle:
