Did the study say anything about just snapping your cue in half over the knee to get all of it out of your system because you taught that biatch a good lesson once and for all?I read a study once that showed how facial expressions alter state of mind and cause poor performance. A player misses a shot and immediately makes a "WTF!" face. The muscles in the face send signals to the brain saying, "Get pissed! Increase adrenaline! Get those stress hormones flowing! Now! Now! Now!" This response isn't good for performance, not with things that require fine-tuned motor skills.
Efren smiles because he knows he's going to win the match anyway...and he DOES!I am reminded of this study everytime I watch an Efren Reyes match and he misses or makes a mistake. 99% of the time, he smiles.
