So you often hear that a person has or may improve by a ball or two, but what does that mean? How does one assign a value to that how does one understand what that mean and how much a person has improved or how much "you" can expect to improve after hearing that you'd improve by a ball or two.
How does that work?

If you use to play a guy even 9 Ball but you get better and now can give him the eight, you have improved one ball.

That I kind of understand but say a new player, someone who maybe hasn't really been given a handicap yet, how do you assign a level of improvement using that term. Or does that term start at a certain level.
Ah, never thought of that. I kind of see where it fits and doesn't fit now.
First it isnt scientific at all-just terms players use. With brand newbies, you cant use it. It would be like rating newborns on their speech prowess.
Break all 15 balls, start ball in hand, you miss,score balls down, play 10 sets, average, say (6) .
practice, practice, see how you improve. Maybe 3 months your at 8-9 balls.
Another might be how many balls you average on say an eight ball game. You break, ball in hand, shoot your balls till a miss and again average say ten sets.
