Playing "Without" the CueBall?

[BeiberLvr]

Anyone ever tried it before? What I mean is you get down into your stance only looking at the object ball. You never look at the cueball, and then just shoot.

Unless I'm the only person in the world that can do this, I think you'd be surprised at how easy it is to make balls. Spin, no spin, doesn't matter.

I've only done it in practice, as I am obviously more consistent when I look at the cueball as well. But I may just try it in a match sometime.

This is what I was kinda talking about in the other thread. Your body becomes the cb an a line with your body to the ob.

Let the eyes lead- and the body will follow.

In 1986 these words my old mentor, well respected friend, and multiple european and worldchampion S. Spielmann Sen. told me. And he was so damn right

Your Aiming begins already standing tall behind the shot before you get down....

best from overseas.

Exactly. Know need for a contact point, just the right picture.

Of course Eric
And without starting a discussion in any direction *of which" aiming-method, system or whatever-- pool is a visual game-- and a repeatable approach is needed.... (one, you have to find out for yourself through knowledge and a great amount of overlearning) .... to get the correct visual input for yourself.

Just different ways for some humans. that s it

Great to hear and read from you buddy

I need to see both sides of the cueball on straight in shots.

Players who use their cues and ferrules to aim generally do this....I'm one of them. (Was one I'm retired)

Tho my eyes were at cb and the set position as soon asy hand hits table...maybe half second. The toy object contact and never deferring

One great benefit to this practice:

1. Get down as you suggest.

2. Look at the cue ball to see not only how accurate your aim is, but how close or far your cue tip is from the cue ball.

Getting down in the stance the right distance from the cue ball is important. To be a "pool robot" you must be positioned the same distance from the cue ball on every stroke so that all your precious arm angles and etc. remain consistent.

It's impossible to be the same distance from the cue ball on every shot.

Ever used a bridge? Apparently not.

There is a difference in a pool shot instructor and a instructor that teaches playing pool. A pool shot instructor would make that kinda statement you did.

A instructor that teaches playing pool knows there are a wide variety of shooting position need to play a game of pool.

Behind the back shot for example........or a one handed shot.

Stay away from pool shot instructors and find a instructor that knows how to play pool.

1. I apologize for not saying "the same distance from the cue ball on every unobstructed shot".

2. We should be able to get good and close even when using a mechanical bridge.
