Great post. Thanks.
I'm in my 70's. Took a 10 year break from pool. Started back 7 years ago and quickly realized I couldn't pocket balls and play position like I did in the past. In the past I was probably down on the shot maybe 3 seconds or less before pulling the trigger.
After reading your post I did a bunch of research on the Internet, sure enough processing time increases with age.
Then I went to YouTube and paid attention to how long SVB, Dennis Orcollo and Alex P. stayed down on the shot before pulling the trigger. SVB and Dennis stayed down on the shot for approx. 5 seconds before pulling the trigger. Alex stayed down approx. 3 seconds before pulling the trigger.
I have incorporated this time extension into my PSR. I'm finding that adding this time (5 seconds) allows for my brain to coordinate the correct muscles in my arm and hand for a better feel of the shot.
I would have never thought of this issue in a million years. Thanks
John
