A challenge to forum members: Shoot through the curtain

[g0ds gReeN]

My local room specifically bans curtains, as well as wearing pants well below your waist.

It's a loose pop/rock term. There's a rhythmic lope in repetitious stuff like pop music. It's like the accent/inflection/dialect etc. The pro -er the gig, the more critical the feel becomes and not to be taken lightly. Most big shows are on some kind of clock track. I play some drums but it's generic and metronomic as possible.

"The pocket" in music is probably as difficult to explain as CTE

It's a feel. Even with the click, there is a pocket that can be found, tho not always, nor required. The style of music helps determine how important it is.

A "hook" is also difficult to explain, tho not as tough as "pocket". The hook is the part of the song that "hooks" you, that catches your attention, or is more easily remembered. It can be the chorus but can just as frequently can be an instrumental portion of the song. A guitar line, or a bass line, will often be what grabs you in any given song. Again, they style of music can dictate whether or not you might have noticeable hooks.

Quoted for groove.

One more thing about hook, in traditional writing (when they used to write actual tunes), it's a classic hustle. Smooth setup, interesting loop around - and hooked.

Threw this in before @garczar tries to make sense of it and puts me back on ignore.

As far as Pros go, its about the same. All the aiming systems in the word aren't going to make them a top pro

Most pool players have said to give up on aiming systems and stick with ghost ball and intuition which comes with a lot of table time. But I think a straight stroke is also a key.

Ghost ball works because the target is essentially the same size as the ball in front of it. IOW you have an exact model with little perspective distortion. Flaws are many though. You are making estimations instead of calculations. Makes it easy to learn but also unreliable for the "most" that tout it. Not blaming ghostball for the handful of champs in existence but it sure fits the model. Under opposition, what happens to the guesses? The better players skirt this by tucking in and maximizing cinches. Good method huh?

I think a good aiming method should enable a desk guy to get to a table and literally not miss anything.
