Isn't that what I've just said 🤔

I think that those who have a hard time aiming are those that are out there seeking the Holy Grail aiming system. They have a hard time aiming not because aiming is difficult but because their mindset and outlook on aiming is all wrong.

How likely do you think it is that someone with solid fundamentals doesn't understand those things, or at the very least has learned to compensate their aim without knowing it?

Well, I would assume that is because you are aiming said rifle at a specific point. Translating this to pool and we use the same method but not for aiming the pot, but for aiming where to hit the cue ball. As your question suggests, it is easier to hit the cue ball where you want with your...

After many years of cue sports followed by many years out of cue sports followed by a few months back in cue sports I've come to a realisation - aiming, by a long way, is the easiest part of any cue sport. Playing with friends and family that have little to no experience it's apparent to me...

Woosh!

Setting aside all of the fundamentals you must have in place first, I've found the cue action to go wrong mostly on the pull back or the very first 1-2cm of the strike right after the pullback. Try introduce 2 pauses. One at the CB and one at the end of your final pull back. Fraction of a...

For all we know, there could be thousands of black pro pool players. As no one on this forum is racist, we don't see skin colour, just people.

Because it's the tables fault I missed.

Amen

Past a certain ability level the size of the table makes very little difference. As for what's harder - this is very subjective and as such I don't think there is an answer. It comes down to how you see each game. 9 ball forces you to see a smaller number of patterns where as 8 ball layouts...

Why does this video scream mental breakdown?

Beautiful craftsmanship.

I can't really fathom why someone would want to or need to think of this when they play or practice. Dedicating practice to specifics is great I think, but this is too specific. I'm sure most of us at some point in life had had lots going on whilst you try to concentrate on something. The...

Which areas of your game is this drill intended to improve? I know a handful guys who could do this all day long but they aren't guys I would consider to be great at the game. What they are great at though is manipulating potting angles with side spin and the short 8 inch draw shots. At first...

That happened a long time ago! I think it was probably in effect back when I was regularly posting on here. But yes, I am back playing but not to the extent I used to. Life has sort of gotten in the way and priorities have had to make a major shift in the direction of my family but I dust off my...

Bob, let's stop with the crazy talk my friend! I'm simply a man - a beautiful balls admiring man.

Its better not to think. It only leads to overcomplicating matters 😁

Beautiful balls.
