Poolmanis noted that with virtual pool, where the ai stroke is perfecr, bad players still fail to run out. There's no escaping needing to learn the game.
That said, a stroke can save u from ur own poor plans with subconscious adjustments u aren't even aware of. Even a player as great as Earl has been known to tell his scotch partner he'll draw it around, aim up low, and then hit a shot perfectly on his desired route... which would be physically impossible if he actually drew it.
