Pagulayan weighs in on CB last

[Not Dead Ted]

In a short you tube video, Alex Pagulayan states his case for CB last. It appears to me that he is advocating this more as a learning tool, rather than "this is how the pros do it."

PLEASE, not this shit again. BTW, i've seen him play a few times and he looks at OB last. What some players say and what they actually do is often miles apart.

I look at it from the money perspective in the trenches of everyday pool rooming it.
In my era and Zars the better players always ''played'' yah making sure they knew they had a good game.
Selling/telling.

Sales: 101

PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

Not only am I unsure what ball I m supposed to look at last, I don't even know what ball I do look at last. My game may be screwed up even worse now that I'll be thinking about it.

Thanks.

Asking which ball used to be a psych move so unless jocks have magically evolved, I'd suggest deciding. Learn the spiel just in case.

...ans CBL.

It depends on the shot. There are some that you need to look at cue ball last. I’d guess for over 90% of players, it’s object ball last, on over 90% of shots

There was a good example on one of them AZ or Tex opens. Young guy. Polish I recall. Familiar name I don't remember offhand.
Anyways, he got down glued to the stick - shot everything high ball - IMO so he had a better look past the cueball. Looked a little on the exaggerated side but his ball moved good.
UNTIL...

he's got this short draw shot to the back corner for shape on the money. Jaws the ball perfectly. End of story.

Rest of my opinion:
Parallax Prismatic Distortion. ( henceforth PPD )
He's still looking at the object ball and was blind to aforementioned distortion.

End dissertation...

It doesn't matter if whatever you are doing works.

Screw all the pool scientists.
