8 ball

actually your pattern depends on your ability and how you go about shooting. everyone basically will have a different pattern that gives them the best chance of running out. few will know which that is, but the pros from experience will have a good idea of what is best for them.

you cannot ever beat experience for teaching in pool.

Hard to Find the Center of the Cue Ball

okay suppose you have a straight in shot and need to follow the cueball straight down table from the center to the short rail. 4 feet 2 inches to do that for those that do not know. assuming cueball's forward part is on the center of the table.

two ways or a combination of the two.

one is with raising the cue tip higher on the cueball and following it down using the speed necessary to do the job. not so easy until you are very good.

second is to try to use a constant speed you can duplicate and raise the cue tip the proper amount to make the cueball go four feet two inches.

most will use a combo of both methods at the same time. which should be harder.

Hard to Find the Center of the Cue Ball

since there is an infinite amount of differences in where the cueball can go from different speeds depending on the hit on the object ball there is no way to judge the speed you need for a shot.

it has to come from lots of playing and feel for it. then your mind tells your arm how fast to swing.

for certain ranges of shots like bank shots where speed changes the angle then having a firmish hard speed that is constant as you can, gives you the best way to judge the spot to hit on the rail.

Hard to Find the Center of the Cue Ball

I prefer to hit the balls with a firm, consistent stroke, too.

I am not a fan of slow rolling or babying balls, if I don't have to.
Filler is pretty consistent about this. You do have to spend considerable time developing stuncentric ball control - not to be confused although not unrelated to stuntantric ball control.

I tend to bias toward speed but that's just me.

Predator Men's 10 Ball JAX

Filler (best player in the world) vs. Yapp (best player of the year)

This will be a sick match. Can't call it.

Capito vs Arseni is a funny match-up, super slow vs. lightning flash. I'll take Arseni because he's more fun to watch. Capito puts me to sleep, every match feels like he's playing one-pocket, followed by wiping his cue with a towel 500x after every shot (including the lag). He's got that Jeremy Jones in him.
