I didn't mean to prove anything or say I'm objectively right, my point was to say that I don't understand why there would be a correlation between eye dominance and shotmaking potential, hoping you'd elaborate more, if you have any insights as for why what you say is true. Listing 5 or so pros...

As someone who also has his right eye under the cue, I don't see how this would affect ones "upper limit" of shot making potential in any way. The pros you mentioned align when up, drop down into the shot, and then perhaps do tiny adjustments subconsciously or consciously, which can be done just...

Extremely reliable fundamentals are a big factor. When you are able to get the outcome to happen that you see with your eyes beforehand 99%+ of the time instead of 50-90%, the brain learns cut angles much faster. Every technique related miss is another mixed signal to the intuitive aiming...

Effect of luck diminishes in the long run, so if one side keeps appearing more lucky over and over, it is increasingly likely that they are just better at kicking/safeties/two-ways. e.g. for kicks, they are not neccessarily better at making contact, but better at reading probabilities of which...

Where can I find this calculator?

What are their rules for daily player selection? Today 7 slots per team, with Fedor 3x and others 1x. Could they do even more, or is 3x max per individual? Or is it just, every member must play at least 1 match, and rest is free to choose?

If one is faced with a tough pot, that he realisticly knows he will make ~75% of the time, even if he deliberately focuses on visualizing the shot go in and doesn't shoot until his focus is in the positive outcome, some part of his brain will, no matter what, be aware of the fact that there is a...

Thanks. 9 foot Brumswick, standard pocket size (4.5inch I assume?)

What is that?

600-650 is an estimation, I don't have a real FR since I don't play in any big enough tourmaments that sumbit to Fargo. Could be 550, could be 700, I have no idea. That 600-650 comes from how well I do in a certain progressive rating drill (think it was by Dr. Dave?), and my runout percentages...

Slight update to this: I gave one more attempt at the "normal way" of aligning yourself (pick shot image when up, fall straight into line, stay completely still), figured out a few tricks and things to help me do it more consistently and now switched to using that for 99.9% of shots, instead of...

Nice. Sounds similar to what I described on last page. Not practical due to slowness, but works, and good for the practice table if you need to measure angles for whatever reason.

TL;DR version of the above: A mathematical method of calculating the exact cut angle of any shot no matter the OB/CB distance, however not practical due to being so slow to measure.

To clarify, when I said the GB guess doesn't matter, I meant typical shots where the CB and OB aren't too close. Indeed, the further away they are, the smaller the error from misjudging the GB is. However, if it's a close cut, you can use the self-correcting principle I mentioned in the last...

Your method definitely sounds more practical. Good job on figuring it out. The reason why assuming GB location isn't an issue, is that the amount of error you'd get for slightly misjudging it is small enough to be irrelevant for the outcome. You'd get similar degrees of error either way from...

I figured it out on my own a few years ago. Was looking for the easiest way of calculating any angle on the table, and came up with it. It's mostly useless in games, I rarely use it in a clutch for close cuts or tough banks. But it's a handy tool when you need to measure a shot on the practice...

I absolutely agree that many other things matter much more than raw shotmaking %'s between a 750 and a 850. That being said, there's still those who shine above the rest in any singular part of the game. I guess talent is the obvious answer, but I think that can be broken down a bit further...

Apologies for going off-topic, but just thought I'd like to hear your opinion on this method for calculating the angle for any shot anywhere on the table. I assume you either know a lot about Poolology, or created it. That's why I ask you. You say Poolology lets you know objectively if a shot is...

Of course, but I mean among the pros. All of the top players in the world have surely put in tens of thousands of hours, yet some of them shine above the rest. Many hours of practice isn't enough to be "the best". Of course there is no "one right answer" to this question of what separates the...
