....as long as my Test is the right tool to answer such questions. That is the main challenge I face: Creating a test, having to evaluate the test and at the same time evaluate this funfamental questions.

I'm not getting the need for image rotation in pool. It is what you're looking at.

because image rotation is just the reduction of what you do in Billiards all the time. For instance: You are at the table and the next shot will pot the object ball and after that you will bank the cue ball and position it somewhere on the other site from were you stand at the moment. You do not need to go arround the table in order to picture the outcome, you are able to mentally rotate the table in order to calculate the ideal outcome. This is just one example, some bank object balls by mirroring the table mentally, you have to calculate counter effets....all involves some mental rotation task.
I get that but it's a rectangle and the angles are all the same either way. Near or far, left or right. Not needing to walk the layout is just familiarity and probably less reliable than taking a good look at what your shot is.
Opiate of the masses, eh??
Be a good question to ask him.
There used to be the opinion that left handed people were more creative, better at spatial reasoning etc...
Recent studies have debunked that myth.
Art and music show a slight edge, as well as certain sports where being left handed holds an obvious advantage, but they are the exceptions, not the general rule any longer.
My brother was a southpaw, and I'm not sure I subscribe to the recent studies.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has proclaimed a left handed 147 as possible. He has yet to execute it publicly.
My morning fitness pits left vs right. The Left is creative and flowing. The Right is angular, points, lines and planes.
When in competition my choice of hand is dictated by the situation. When My opponent at the handshake was incredulous that I cut that 8 ball oh so thin and precision with my Left hand (second hand(). I had to look down to the cue in that hand to confirm, as I had no conscious recall of the switching of hands. It just came as natural as a stroll in the park. Shrug
Uh oh Grampa got triggered.
When I started as a carpenter, if you couldn't walk a 3 and a half inch 2x4 second floor wall. Perhaps another occupation you should choose.
Doing the form work over interstate 5 while on a bungee harness that would leave a teather ball for the semi trucks. I walked the girders to lay the 4x8 cross members to allow the pouring of the deck married to the girders. Always at night.
Perhaps in OSHA violation but Shirley beyond the statue of limitations.
I might have , forgot to tie off. At the time it seemed a hazard.That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
SIR!
You Honor. Ooops/flashbacks.
Intestinal Fortitude is what Coach McHargue called it.
It ain't the size of the dog in the fight. It's the size of the fight in the dog. (Bob Lilly quote).
Put in the practice to build the foundation with solid fun dduh mental Z.
When in combat on the fields of friendly strife. Keeping My Mind Right is job 1. When having fun my best performance is available. Well sometimes so playing for fun is uh, wait a minute.....fun Zs. Oh never mind.
I do keep a record of right vs left daily testing.
Interesting in seeing

Ah but can you dance?
He's in the Philippines now. Maybe they don't have internet? Kidding.
Ronnie on left handed.
Okay one more.
Edit:
Make that 2

I'll ask him and get back...
With all your time on the table Greg, you prolly hit flow state at will and don't even realize it.Ronnie O'Sullivan has proclaimed a left handed 147 as possible. He has yet to execute it publicly.

My mentor used 'height' as an example when teaching me about the 'Zone' or 'Dead Stroke' as we called it back then.
Letting my subconscious drive the bus, rather than my conscious mind.
You can walk across a 2" x 10" on ground level with no probs whatsoever. Place that same 2" x10" 100 feet in the air and now try to walk across it.
Cortisol levels spike, Adrenaline hits you like a truck, hands shake, pupils dilate, breathing becomes shallow and irregular. No wonder you can't focus!!
The difference is all in your mind.
Same 2x10, only now with fear and self preservation hormones in the mix.
Learning to calm those responses is a good place to start for those trying to understand flow states.
"Only thing to fear is fear itself."
Some famous guy said that.
Hey Frosty, you wanna chime in here??
He's prolly posting from a coma.
