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

    Submitted! I hope you get a lot of data for this, as it sounds like an interesting study. Remember that correlation does not equal causation 😀

    Questions for Instructors/Coaches

    Players at all skill levels should work on their weaknesses and push their comfort zone to see the most improvement, and at a high level that's going to be things like kicking, jumping, fine tuning cue ball control, being able to adjust to equipment fast, and of course a ton of mental game work...

    Evidence-Based Strategies to Improve Faster (based on motor learning research)

    Just posted a new video on the science of motor learning and how to structure your practice to improve faster. Covers why your brain does most of the real learning while you sleep, why plateaus don't mean you've stopped improving, and four evidence-based strategies for your practice sessions...

    Why You Choke Easy Shots Under Pressure

    Right here! Apparently, the "watch thread" feature does not reliably send emails... Anyways, I'm glad ya'll have found the video useful. As for pointed at the Mosconiacs, no not directly, but it did inspire me. I'd be very curious to hear from the players about what was going through their...

    Why You Choke Easy Shots Under Pressure

    Hey all, I just posted a video regarding choking, the science behind why it happens, and five methods on how to prevent it from happening. It took me some time to find, organize, and simplify the information, so I hope it helps your game under pressure!

    Any tips for not changing your grip pressure on the shot.

    For higher speed shots, it helps to use a longer bridge length so you have more distance and time to accelerate the cue with the same force (grip pressure). You'll also want to move your grip hand back when using a longer bridge to keep your swing arm perpendicular. Hope that helps!

    Chris Henry, snooker coach

    Applied neuroscience! His approach of training the brain is spot on - gotta get those quality reps in to develop a heightened sense of body coordination. Learning the physics of the game and aiming systems can be useful and make practice more efficient, but there's no substitution for structured...

    Apps for measuring shot angles on a real pool table or by simulations??

    My app Billiard Shot Studio can simulates shots and show the fractional aim. Displaying the angle would be really easy, so I'll see about getting that into an update. It's available for iPhone and iPad: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/billiard-shot-studio/id6504303931 Here's a screenshot of the...

    CIT, SIT, Deflection aim adjustments: At the object ball vs at the pocket?

    There are so many factors that are involved with aiming, that it mostly comes down to just how good are you able to simulate how the balls are going to move on the table, given a certain aim, swing speed, and tip contact. When I miss shots or position due to not accounting for or misjudging the...
