Interesting topic i think. Has anyone one else figured this out ? I think I have figured it out......

any thoughts ?
 
Thanks for the link.

On page 124, Nesli O'Hara ranked #12 states that Eferen taught her how to aim. I was suprised to read that Efren describes to her how to use TOI.

Interesting

You need to improve your reading comprehension. She states how to aim different based on if using inside or outside English.
 
my thoughts on it....

What do you think? I'd be most interested.

After studying him for about a year solid now, both in person, and extensive viewing of matches online.......

he knows that 'there is no cue ball'.

(not everyone is going to understand this, it's a very advanced concept)

Come on man, you can't just say something like that and then leave it up to us to figure out what you are talking about.

I have to agree. I have seen straight ahead shots of him shooting and I could swear he never looked at the QB. He never took his eyes off of the OB.

Wow...

Now comes the interesting part sports fans........... The very first individual that expressed a concern that I become better at this game told me the same thing. He gave me a practice routine to work on and guess what.??????? You are seeing the stick hit the object ball and the cue ball doesn't exist. This same individual tried to play effren some one hole when he first came here and effrens backer wouldn't allow because he didn't know the game at that time.
 
A good player doesn't need to look at the cue ball to "get there" because they have trained themselves so well with stance and distance and tip gap--but that does not imply they use tip aiming. Efren can pivot aim and etc. with his mind's eye and then just get down and go... Make sense?

I demonstrate in clinics by closing my eyes while standing erect in port arms position, and then assuming a full stance. My tip gap is very small and I am aligned dead center ball before I open my eyes. Efren need not look at the cue ball to play the cue ball and I demonstrate this method to make stance and stroke the emphasis rather than "reaching for" or stabbing at the cue ball... think of Efren being the perfect distance every time. It's as if the cue ball is glued to his (extended) cue tip so he becomes part of the aim line...

Whatever it is, Efren ain't tellin nobody!
 
Efren is probably using the "Quiet eye" approach when sighting the shot which requires little reference upon the cue ball when executed properly.
