    Question for instructors: psychology bachelor’s thesis on neurocognitive aspects of pool performance

    I have to admit same. I answered only a handful then exited out.

    Hypothetically: can a "regular" shaft be made LD?

    I have a local cue maker. I can get another CF shaft (already have one I really like) but this was more of a curiosity for me then an actual need. Hence, the hypothetical nature of my inquiry.

    Hypothetically: can a "regular" shaft be made LD?

    I understand that the primary factor in making a cue shaft LD is low mass at the front of the cue. This can be achieved via multiple factors: thin diameter; hollow core near the tip; very short ferrules. So, hypothetically, can an already relatively thin diameter wooden shaft which does...

    Do spatial reasoning and movement prediction matter in aiming? Psychology thesis study

    What skill level(s) of your participants do you need? Does it matter whether one is FR 400, 500, 600, 700, lower or greater? I would imagine vastly different responses from varying levels of pool proficiency.

    DICK VAN DYKE GETS HUSTLED

    Why do so many depictions of pool have such obvious rule violations? I mean, they could have conveyed the hustling with accurate pool playing. Likely because most people would never recognize the errors. Just like nearly all movies. Sigh.

    Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

    When I first started playing pool this is how I aimed. I don't know when I changed over to ghost ball but the methods are pretty similar. If I am not confident about a shot, I sometimes (but rarely) use the imaginary rail as a confirmation that my GB position is correct.

    Funny pic/gif thread...

    Yes, these are my dogs, and yes, Brody did, in fact, take cookies from a side table. (No, his brother Kit had nothing to do with it.)

    Ultimates Rules

    How does take/make speed things up? Isn’t a BnR more likely if the breaker can choose suit after a successful break? I don’t follow…..

    This Keeps Happening

    DCP, have you figured out how to record, store, and share videos of yourself breaking and playing, using your phone? IIRC from other threads, you didn’t know how. (I assume you have a smartphone.) I would be willing to help you create a YouTube account and work with you to record videos and...

    Pet hair? Try this.

    With our two Border Collies, my table often has hair on it. I usually vacuum it, and have done so for years, with no ill effects. But I know some here are hesitant to use a vacuum on their cloth. My wife tried a product from Amazon for pulling hair off furniture. I gave it a try on my...

    Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

    I've read all 9 pages so far. I dunno, I'm perplexed. While I understand the various methods to aim, with my brain and my perceptions, I can't imagine a simpler way to aim then to visualize the ghost ball, and aim the center (bottom, if you will) of the CB to the center of the imaginary GB...

    Yapp’s Controversial Tournament-Winning Shot in the 8-Ball World Championship … Was it a Foul?

    Those here saying cameras should be added might not have watched Dr Dave’s video. In many instances, a “regular” camera’s frame rate is insufficient to capture the instant of a hit. Often Dr experienced the hit happening between frames. It is likely not feasible to install super-high speed...

    How to Judge SPLIT HITS … Everything You Need to Know

    Interesting that in your frozen ball/simultaneous hit scenario, whichever ball was hit first raced out of frame first, without exception. And the sibgle hit where you pretty much managed the nearly impossible actual simultaneous hit, the balls left the frame as a tie. So it’s possible that...
