    Higher skill pocket billiards players - 9 ball or snooker players?

    Pro aiming: Eyeball object-ball path & then cue-ball path with eyes near pool-table height

    Pro aiming: Eyeball object-ball path & then cue-ball path with eyes near pool-table height

    I process my stance as a three legged chair.... equal weight on 1. left leg (below left hip) and 2. right leg (below right hip) 3. upper torso/chest forward/rear end backward is part three.
