    Quickest way to recognize what fraction the hit is?

    Okay. All I'm saying is you be you in your progression through the game. I hope it serves you well. I have a different approach if that's okay with you.

    Quickest way to recognize what fraction the hit is?

    Okay You said it not me. Anal. What I said is that we complicate the game. The more you have floating around in your head the more you have to control on every shot and in your PSR. I prefer to simplify. You be you and good on you.

    Quickest way to recognize what fraction the hit is?

    Sounds like we're in the aiming forum. Maybe we are. Like I said, for me at least, all that I look for is the spot on the object ball furthest away from the pocket. Throw comes natural even. It's what happens after hitting a million balls. Whatever you want to visualize then god bless you. I try...

    Great. Cue ball? Now you're getting complicated. I keep it simple stupid.

    Not really. As I said in an earlier post, I look for the spot on the object ball furthest away from the pocket. Perhaps I do not understand aiming with a ghost ball but I concentrate, visualize on a spot on the object ball. I don't imagine a ghost ball at all.

    Call me simplistic if you like. Allison Fisher said it best and that's the way I aim too. Find the spot on the object ball furthest away from the pocket. That's where you hit it. KISS, keep it simple stupid. Sometimes we make the game harder on ourselves by complicating it by over thinking.

    Why Your Skill Doesn’t Matter in Matches - Just in Practice

    Consistently pocketing balls is everything, possibly the only thing. There is no substitute for pocketing balls. When you pocket the ball you stay at the table. Not pocketing the ball relinquishes the table and you sit down and watch. Getting shape is easy. Getting perfect shape every shot is...

    $1200 Break cue

    Recently sold my break cue because I never use it. I have more control with my player. That being said, I feel no need to smash the rack like I'm using a sledge hammer. I never hit the rack with anything more than a strong force follow stroke.

    New Here? - Introduce Yourself

    Everybody here has a story. Life is a journey and so is pool. Can't go wrong with a Joss in my opinion. My newest custom Joss.

    Fusco's Pool Room

    Loved Bob's room. Two Chevillotte 3 cushion tables at Drexeline. Florida Bob stops in my poolroom about once a month.

    Fusco's Pool Room

    Heard the room sort of went into disrepair after Petey passed and his long time manager was fired. Last time I was there, all of the 9 footers were Gold Crowns and they were set up great, played well. Always enjoyed on playing on table 7. Actually went there to take a lesson from Strickland for...

    Fusco's Pool Room

    Love a Gabriel's 3 cushion. A room that I was regular at that closed a few years ago had a heated Gabriel's Kronos. Loved that table.

    Fusco's Pool Room

    Haven't been to Fusco's in couple of years. Always enjoyed the tables there. All Gold Crowns. They have one of the few 3C tables in the area.
